Energy Management Strategy for Grid-Networks of a Distributed Generation

Abstract

Energy management and control are major factors of importance in this revolutionary era of power system. The revolution in renewable energy generation and its utilization imposes to develop and adopt energy management strategies. Considering the dynamic behavior of renewable energy sources and load, a systematic control and energy management strategy is developed. The aim of this paper is to implement real time supervision and energy management on a hybrid system for efficient utilization of renewable energy resources. The developed energy management strategy can be imposed on any size of off-grid and on-grid distributed renewable energy generation system. A grid connected distributed generation is considered with solar, wind and biomass energy sources with battery as a storage. MATLAB is used to develop energy management strategy and different cases are resulted successfully. The effectiveness of energy management strategy on hybrid system and its results are presented and discussed.
