Hybrid Renewable Energy Based Controller for Micro Grid Applications

This paper presents the significance of the deployment of micro grid as a promising aspect in the future of the power systems. During the past decade the use of fossil fuels have multiplied the effects on the global warming. Micro grid is a concept that integrates the Distributed Energy Resources (DER) to form an electric infrastructure that incorporates various renewable energy resources which delivers a cleaner energy generation. It usually consists of multiple distributed sources which are interfaced to the AC grid, such high penetration of distributed generators linked to the grid through controllable power electronic based devices, along with the inclusion of communication techniques, electrical energy storage systems. This enhances the scope of micro grids in electric infrastructure. This paper carries out coordinated analysis of micro grid control strategies, algorithms, and methods of efficient utilization of Renewable Energy Resources (RES) such as Distributed Energy Storage (DES), Photo-voltaic (PV) Generation and loads. Finally, the simulation results under various operations carried out on distributed energy generated, state of charge of Distributed Energy Storage, and basic power management functions.
