Abstract
This chapter analyzes a case study on power control and energy management in 60 apartments’ residential building with solar generation and energy storage in Santiago, Chile. This constitutes a problem under the perspective of renewable energy sources (RES) integration with the electric utility, ENEL. Under this scenario, a set of strategies for the coordination and control of the electricity supply versus demand is tested and adapted for the specific needs of the customers and the infrastructure of the network. The microgrid adjusts itself to the grid to maximize green supply capacity, wherein the different energy users and their energy consumption profiles play a crucial role as “active loads,” being able to respond and adapt to the needs of the grid-tie microgrid while enjoying economic benefits. Simulations results are presented under different tariff options, capacity and energy storage alternatives, in order to compare the proposed strategy with the actual case. The results show the advantage of the proposed tariff and energy management rules for the integration of distributed power generation and smart grid in Chile.
