Abstract

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.
