Smart microgrids are defined as scalable and autonomous energy systems that can operate independently or in coordination with the main grid, integrating seamlessly into larger energy networks to enhance reliability and adaptability while providing resilience against disasters and fluctuations in energy demand. How useful is this definition?
Smart Microgrid Controller (SMC) combines consumption and generation data to create valuable new information streams. These feed both the SMC reporting function and its user programmable policy system. This powerful but usable automation tool enables fully automated minigrid interventions in accordance with user preferences.
The microgrid consists of a behind-the-meter (BTM) solar photovoltaic (PV) system, a battery energy storage system (BESS), a combined heat and power (CHP) generator, and standby diesel generators. We modeled this microgrid by leveraging the ETAP software and performed power system studies for both grid-connected and islanded modes of operation.
The microgrid control system also generates historical data that can be used for cost impact estimation and load and generation forecasting. This allows you to implement energy storage and peak-shaving strategies to reduce energy cost and use renewable sources when they're most advantageous.
