Analysis, Modeling, and Control of an AC Microgrid System Based on Green Energy
Résumé
The integration of distributed generators (DGs), electric
storage system (ESS), distributed electric loads and the utility
grid through the point of common coupling is called microgrid
(MG) .The coordinated operation of MG and the main utility
grid with variable load demand is controlled by using microgrid
control center (MGCC). MGCC methodology is introduced to
regulate power flow for each source depends on the outputs
commands from MG energy management center (MGEMC).
This paper is focused only on developing an efficient and fast
MGCC based on power control mode taking into account the
outputs commands from MGEMC without considering its
strategy. The MG in this paper is assumed to be interconnected
to the main utility gird, and can purchase some power from
utility grid at off-peak hours or when the production of the MG
is insufficient to meet the load demand. On the other hand, there
is a daily income to the MG when the generated power exceeds
the load demand during on-peak hours. The proposed MGCC
and electrical power system is simulated using Matlab/Simulink.
