Hybrid Wind/PV/Battery Energy Management-Based Intelligent Non-Integer Control for Smart DC-Microgrid of Smart University

Abstract

Global environmental changes, nuclear power risks, losses in the electricity grid, and rising energy costs are increasing the desire to rely on more renewable energy for electricity generation. Recently, most people prefer to live and work in smart places like smart cities and smart universities which integrating smart grid systems. The large part of these smart grid systems is based on hybrid energy sources which make the energy management a challenging task. Thus, the design of an intelligent energy management controller is required. The present paper proposes an intelligent energy management controller based on combined fuzzy logic and fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FO-PID) controller methods for a smart DC-microgrid. The hybrid energy sources integrated into the DC-microgrid are constituted by a battery bank, wind energy, and photovoltaic (PV) energy source. The source-side converters (SSCs) are controller by the new intelligent fractional order PID strategy to extract the maximum power from the renewable energy sources (wind and PV) and improve the power quality supplied to the DC-microgrid. To make the microgrid as cost-effective, the (wind and PV) energy sources are prioritized. The proposed controller ensures smooth output power and service continuity. Simulation results of the proposed control schema under Matlab/Simulink are presented and compared with the super twisting fractional-order controller.

Microgrid energy management and monitoring systems: A comprehensive review

“…MGs can be controlled in ways other parts of the distribution system cannot, making this an important area of study and application. It isn't easy to centrally manage MGs due to their dual functionality (grid-connected and islanded as represented in Figure 1) (Al Alahmadi et al, 2021). Therefore, separate management systems are often developed for each operation mode.…”

“…The versatility of this converter makes it suitable for low and high-power applications. Among the main applications of the DC-DC buck converters, one can see their use in micro-grids [3][4][5][6], renewable energy systems [1,7,8], photovoltaic systems and battery charging [9,10], LED driver and energy management [11,12], speed control of DC and AC motor drivers [2,13] and so on.…”
