Abstract

There is an increasing number of micro-grid applications for power system networks at different voltage levels. Community micro-grid systems are also being encouraged in order to increase energy efficiency, reduce electricity bills, and alleviate the reliability problem with respect to power delivery for local residential users. Understanding electricity information can help in effective management and control of various energy sources operated in community micro-grid systems. This paper thus aims to develop a simulation-based electricity analysis scheme for a real community micro-grid configuration using a proposed modelling methodology, simulation mechanisms, and a power balancing control strategy under the MATLAB environment. Simulation results considering different weather conditions report the observed performance of electricity analysis. In addition, calculations of electricity bills depending on two electricity rates are discussed, representing the benefits of electricity bill reduction when electricity users accepted the power supply from community micro-grid systems.
