It is now more then a choice to use small-distributed generators (DGs) based on renewable energy resources (RES) due to their benefits in minimizing environmental problems and simplifying power system planning and operation. The integration of DGs in the main grid or in forming a standalone microgrid (MG) is increasing day by day and became as an alternative solution to large conventional central power stations and as a key for the electrification of rural areas. This paper presents an overall comparison of controlling the MG system combining between different DGs in islanded mode. Energy management system (EMS) applied is mainly an essential task to maintain an ideal flow of energy in between generation and consumption, many are strategies to do so, the artificial intelligence (AI) (highlighted) is one of the most advantages methods to help sizing, optimizing, and power energy managing. To solve this problem in this paper we present a Fuzzy Logic Control of isolated MG in comparison with a classic PI control system to see the different influences in maintaining stability in voltage and frequency output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES combines a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) and an energy storage system (ESS). Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent artificial algorithm.

Electricity is major requirement for each individual or group to live a prosper and good life, while unfortunately in Pakistan still there are some areas which does not have provision towards this facility. The microgrid is designed to power up those rural areas of Pakistan which does not have provision of electricity via conventional means. To achieve this feat this paper presents a case study of a Thar community or small village located in Thar, Sindh, Pakistan. The small village comprises of 40 houses, some shops and a primary school. The study area having latitude and longitude of 240 52.7’ N and 700 14.4’ E respectively. The microgid consists of a Diesel Generator, Photo voltaic solar panels, Batteries and Flywheel systems. The purpose is to find the most optimal solution using different parameters via Homer optimization software.

This paper discusses using the battery energy storage system (BESS) to mitigate intermittency and sustain stability of distribution system integrating high penetration level of renewable energy resources (RER). The goal of the control is to have the BESS provide as much smoothing as possible, so that the RER power can be dispatchable in some kind and reliable. The effectiveness of model predictive control (MPC) based approach proposed in this paper have been tested by detail case study, also compared with the day ahead control strategy, load following strategy , and normal situation without energy storage which are usually used before. The result shows that the proposed MPC based approach is more practical, and more robust.

This article presents, a load management system is designed and implemented to integrate renewable energy resources (RES) (solar and wind), which manage the load according to the supply/demand and the user's priorities. The system is implemented on a hybrid system integrating wind energy, solar energy, utility supply, and battery energy storage system. Load management is carried out via switching of the loads. The sources can also be turned ON and OFF. During excess power, the battery module works as an energy storage unit or backup energy supply unit during demand. Loads can be turned ON and OFF wirelessly via GSM. The grid operator can switch the loads by simply sending a command via a short service message (SMS). In the end, the system is tested, and the results are presented. The hybrid system is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink first and then hardware implementation is carried out, which involves integrating renewable resources via converters and load management by switching using a microcontroller (Arduino).

Renewable generation in power systems has proved to be challenging for system operators owing to the increasing levels of penetration. The operation of power systems currently requires additional flexibility and reserves due to the intermittency and unpredictability of renewable generators. However, it is difficult to precisely predict and control the stochastic nature of renewable sources; nevertheless, its capacity continues to increase. To monitor and control renewable generators efficiently, the entire system needs to be established in a hierarchical order. This study proposed the concept of a substation that is uniquely designed for renewable interconnection. The purpose of this substation is simple: to make the renewable generators dispatchable to operators such that each group of renewable generators is sufficiently stable to be considered as conventional generators. For this purpose, methods for sizing and controlling energy storage system are proposed based on forecasts and error distributions.
