Simulation, design and implementation of energy management system for hybrid microgrid

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop an optimized microgrid energy system based on hybrid energy sources, including the power grid, solar panels, a battery, and a backup generator set. The energy of the microgrid will be efficientl yoperate dan dmanaged by designing and integrating appropriate control and automation techniques, utilizing a PLC kit. The study involves modeling the MG and the energy controller system using the MATLAB/Simulink simulation platform. Additionally, the state flo walgorith mwill be utilized to ensure effective control and coordination of various operational states within the MG system. The second part of the study focuses on designing a small-scale microgrid laboratory with hybrid power energy sources, integrating the PLC kits, GUI, OPC server, and state machine algorithm developed in LabVIEW software for advanced control, monitoring, and state-based decision-making capabilities. The laboratory-scale setup, with a capacity of 1.5KW, will serve as a practical testbed to validate the optimized microgrid system’s performance, including its ability to handle a large number of batteries for future implementations.
