This paper presents an energy management strategy using a Stateflow controller related to DC microgrids with the important penetration of renewable energy. The increase in world electricity demand is one of the principal drivers of the exhaustion of fossil fuels and increased greenhouse gas emissions. To solve these problems, several countries have adopted actions for widespread renewable energy deployment, which includes wind energy, solar power, biomass power, tidal, and hydropower. These sources are considered as significant in delivering clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions for sustainable improvement. As these sources play an increasingly vital role in the global energy landscape, the efficient management of these intermittent sources is essential for grid stability and sustainability. This paper aimed to develop an energy management strategy for DC microgrids to supply power to a DC microgrid system. The main objective of this paper was to implement an energy management system to ensure the proper operation of DC microgrid systems utilizing Simulink blocks available in MATLAB/Simulink 2020b software. The simulation results demonstrated that the developed energy management algorithm was unconditionally reliable, ensuring the proper operation of the microgrid systems. Additionally, the results demonstrated that the energy management strategy exhibited robust performance across different scenarios, effectively balancing energy generation and consumption while ensuring the reliable operation of the microgrid system. Moreover, the developed algorithm model presents another advantage, as it enables users to access and to change any control parameters within the DC microgrid. By comparing these results with the literature, the developed energy management algorithm provides safety and the automatic control of the microgrid.

This paper used some Muti-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques to select the best alternative renewable energy sources in Msallata city, south east of Tripoli, Libya. They were based on the commitment from the ministry of Energy in the Libyan government to lower their carbon footprint. The renewable energy sources considered here are solar, wind, and biomass. MCDA is widely used to solve various decision problems through alternative evaluation. MCDA methods are currently applied in every field and can define any problem, alternatives, and criteria. However, every MCDA technique can give different results. In this paper, four MCDA methods have been tested and evaluated based on the renewable energy sector to find the best alternative. The results suggest that a combination of wind and solar is the most important energy source; solar plants alone are the second most important energy source. The least important energy source in this model is biomass alone. This work is validated using HOMER Pro Software. Many MCDA techniques are applied these days in almost all disciplines, but they may have different results. This work proved that the best MCDA for dealing with renewables in our case is either The COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS) or VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR). COPRAS is a MCDA technique that is developed by Zavadskas, Kaklauskas, and Sarka in 1994, it is applied to maximiza and minimize index values. VIKOR is an abbreviation of a Serbian term that means Multicriteria Optimization and Compromise Solution, it ranks and selects from various alternatives with conflicting criteria.

This paper presents an energy management strategy using stateflow controller related to DC micro-grids with an important penetration of renewable energy. The increase in world electricity demand is one of the principal drivers of the exhaustion of fossil fuels and expanded greenhouse gas emissions. To solve these problems, several countries have adopted actions for large renewable energy deployment, which includes wind energy, solar power, biomass power, tidal, and hydropower. These sources are considered as significant in delivering clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions for sustainable improvement. In such a case, these are referred to as distributed generation systems. Distributed generation can impact negatively on the performance of the distribution network as the distribution network will no longer operate with a unidirectional power flow pattern. To address these issues, micro-grids are being used as a platform to integrate distributed generation systems, as they provide significant benefits to end-users and to the distribution network. The objective of this paper was to implement an energy management system to ensure the proper operation of the developed DC microgrid and this was developed using Simulink blocks available in the MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results shown that this control strategy is unconditionally reliable to ensure proper operation of the microgrid systems. Moreover, the developed algorithm model presents another advantage, which enables the users to access and to change any control parameters within the DC microgrid. By comparing these results with the literature, the developed energy management algorithm provides safety and automatic control of the microgrid.
