In this article, authors developed a model for one particular example of microgrid and considered possibilities to integrate solar panels and power storage into existing grid with diesel generator. The choice of configuration is described and power Quasi-Dynamic simulations are performed for the verification of the model. This paper mainly focuses on reliability issues and considers probability of...
In DC microgrids, effective power management in real time is important for optimum management of energy, resources, storage elements and loads. Power imbalance in the grid may also lead to fluctuation of grid voltage, which will adversely affect the reliability of the microgrid and may damage the loads. In this paper, different strategies for power management in the DC microgrids will be classified...
Decentralization of vertically integrated electrical power systems can bring economic, reliability and environmental benefits to society. Microgrids are a step to a more hybrid, less centralized power industry. A key objection from traditional electric utilities to distributed renewable energy is the variation injected to the power grid from variables sources such as the sun. A significant milestone...
This paper presents the reliability evaluation of microgrids with distributed generation based on renewable energy sources and storage systems. A hybrid model that combines the analytical approach with state sampling is used in order to consider the intermittence of renewable sources, like wind, solar and small hydro power plants. Batteries are used to reduce the supply intermittence of both the solar...
Recently more renewable distributed generations and various demands are expected to connect in distribution networks directly to reduce processes of multiple reverse conversions. The hybrid AC/DC micro grid is constructed to achieve efficient integration of distributed energy resources (DER) and energy storage system (ESS) into the existing power systems. However, the Energy Management System (EMS)...
As part of the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project, investigators have been collaborating on the design of controls for a microgrid comprised of a single distribution feeder. One goal of this project has been to design a primary controller for the system that enables a “seamless” transition from on-grid to microgrid mode, and from microgrid control by the storage to shared control by...
The Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) Microgrid concept captures the emerging potential of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) using an automatous plug-and-play approach. CERTS views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a “Microgrid.” The sources can operate in parallel to the grid or can operate in island, providing high levels of electrical reliability....
Power shortages result in power outages for period of 8 to 10 Hrs a day in rural areas due to significant gap between electricity demand and supply. Rural banking is one of the sectors severely affected by power. Majority of population in emerging markets like India live in rural areas. Therefore, reliability and operational efficiency of rural banking is of utmost importance to include rural population...
Reliability calculation is the most important concern in designing and planning of distribution systems, which is considered, in terms of the economical concerns, with minimal interruption of customers. Storage devices are usually used for storing the electric energy while the electric price is low, and deliver their reserved energy when it has financial profit. Also, it could be effective for decreasing...
In the last years, distributed generation (DG) and microgrid (MG) technologies have been used to moderate the stress due to main stream utility grid electricity demand increase. The dispatch of renewable distributed energy sources at present is performed in such a way that, when implemented at very large scale, their intermittency can impact on the grids, what leads to concerns in terms of power quality...
Microgrids may be a prospective power system that addresses the renewable energy technologies (RET) accompanying necessary growing deployment of distributed energy resources (DER), especially small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) and small-scale renewable energy sources (RES). This article introduces the RET expected to be applied in the microgrids system depending on the RES. The RET include:...
