Abstract
Due to the growing influence of sustainable energy sources, fluctuations in supply peaks are increasing, and thus, an imbalance in the grid may occur. This paper uses a basic smart control and battery algorithm to deal with these energy flow issues on a micro-grid level. Furthermore, a realistic model of a neighborhood located in Olst, the Netherlands is created in order to demonstrate the impact of smart control and battery storage in a practical setting. This model consists of PV generation, a washing machine, dishwasher together with various other devices which are assumed uncontrollable, as well as a grid connection. Three different scenarios were investigated to determine the effectiveness of the smart control algorithm and battery storage in terms of self-consumption, self-sufficiency and peak reduction. The results are shown by means of simulation and indicate a significant increase in self-consumption, self-sufficiency and peak reduction.
