Power Control in a Microgrid

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 5

Abstract

A micro-grid is a unifying of micro-sources together with a load and an optional energy storage device within a vicinity. The micro-grid can be operated in either autonomous, non-autonomous or a dual operation. In an autonomous operation micro-grid should generate its own energy and control it, as well. The components of the micro-grid which include 270kW of wind turbine, 40kW of micro-turbine, battery energy storage system with a capacity of 100kW and their control system have worked with each other in order to achieve power control in a micro-grid. The block diagram of the components and their parameters are made in a SIMULINK environment. The simulation test has been carried out by increasing the wind speed and decreasing the power demand in the system. Moreover, quick response of the battery energy storage system was observed in SIMULINK environment.
