This paper proposes a fuzzy logic-based energy management system (EMS) for microgrids with a combined battery and hydrogen energy storage system (ESS), which ensures the power balance according to the load demand at the time that it takes into account the improvement of the microgrid performance from a technical and economic point of view. As is known, renewable energy-based microgrids are receiving increasing interest in the research community, since they play a key role in the challenge of designing the next energy transition model. The integration of ESSs allows the absorption of the energy surplus in the microgrid to ensure power supply if the renewable resource is insufficient and the microgrid is isolated. If the microgrid can be connected to the main power grid, the freedom degrees increase and this allows, among other things, diminishment of the ESS size. Planning the operation of renewable sources-based microgrids requires both an efficient dispatching management between the available and the demanded energy and a reliable forecasting tool. The developed EMS is based on a fuzzy logic controller (FLC), which presents different advantages regarding other controllers: It is not necessary to know the model of the plant, and the linguistic rules that make up its inference engine are easily interpretable. These rules can incorporate expert knowledge, which simplifies the microgrid management, generally complex. The developed EMS has been subjected to a stress test that has demonstrated its excellent behavior. For that, a residential-type profile in an actual microgrid has been used. The developed fuzzy logic-based EMS, in addition to responding to the required load demand, can meet both technical (to prolong the devices’ lifespan) and economic (seeking the highest profitability and efficiency) established criteria, which can be introduced by the expert depending on the microgrid characteristic and profile demand to accomplish.

The energy storage system (ESS) is the main issue in traction applications, such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs). To alleviate the shortage of power density in BEVs, a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) can be used as an alternative ESS. HESS has the dynamic features of the battery and a supercapacitor (SC), and it requires an intelligent energy management system (EMS) to operate it effectively. In this study, a real-time EMS is proposed, which is comprised of a fuzzy logic controller-based low-pass filter and an adaptive proportional integrator-based charge controller. The proposed EMS intelligently distributes the required power from the battery and SC during acceleration. It allocates the braking energy to the SC on the basis of the state of charge. A simulation study was conducted for three standard drive cycles (New York City cycle, Artemis urban cycle, and New York composite cycle) using MATLAB Simulink. Comparative analysis of conventional and proposed EMSs was carried out. The results reveal that the proposed EMS reduced the stress, temperature, and power losses of the battery. The steady-state charging performance of the SC was 98%, 95%, and 96% for the mentioned drive cycles.

Shipping contributes today to 2.1% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and its share is expected to grow in the coming years. At the same time, fuel prices are increasing and companies of the related increase in operational costs. This demands for higher efficiency in ship operations. In these regards, batterypowered vessels are often regarded as a promising solution. The existence of an energy storage element in the system, however, introduces additional challenges in its efficient control. This paper presents the application of machine learning and mathematical programming to the optimization of the energy management system of Diesel-electric vessels with an energy storage system operating according to a cyclical operational profile. The proposed energy management system uses unsupervised exclusive machine learning algorithms,k-means or k-medoids, to learn from prior operations. Then mathematical programming based on mixed-integer linear programming is used to address the problem of the optimal unit commitment by means of optimizing the system’s operations for minimizing fuel consumption. The calculated optimal state of charge of the energy storage system is used as the reference value for a proportional-integral controller during the real-time operations. The proposed energy management system is evaluated through its application to a case study corresponding to a hybrid-electric ferry operating in a urban area having cyclic operations through several stations. The results show that the efficiency of the control action is high with an accuracy ranging between 87% and 99%, when compared to an ideal controller, even in presence of large variations in the operational profile and the charging stations. Between the two tested clustering algorithms, k-means showed higher efficiency in the reduction of fuel consumption in presence of charging stations, while in absence of these, k-medoids showed to provide a better performance.
