“…Details of the MG architecture from the control viewpoint were not included in this paper. The same shortcoming (from the authors' point of view) was also observed in another publication [17], although the MG control architecture was modeled in PSCAD software and experimental validations were provided. In this work, due to the lack of the design and presentation of a detailed control architecture that can fully manipulate the power-system parameters the control functionality is limited to ON/OFF operations.…”

In a context with an increasing number of non-traditional power sources, smart inverters function as the main interfaces between distributed energy resources (DERs) and the power bus. This role is even more prominent in microgrids (MGs), where numerous DERs must be controlled and coordinated. For this aim, MGs need to implement suitable communication links since, even in distributed control, the system must compensate voltage and frequency deviations caused by local controllers. Likewise, a communication system is required to optimize its operation. This paper aims to apply the technological advances brought by the Internet of Things (IoT) to the issue of communication within an MG. The work proposes a wireless communication architecture based on the message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol, accompanied by a set of requirements and specifications to establish a multi-directional information flow between DERs in an MG, and potential energy management system (EMS) or secondary controllers. A laboratory-scale testbed was implemented to demonstrate the operation of an EMS in the proposed architecture. The experimental results showed how current control structures seamlessly integrate with the proposed communication system. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that communication latencies or failures did not comprise the stability of the MG, but only decreased the optimality of the EMS control strategy.

“…To make it possible, power management and measurement system are equally important for getting better outputs from renewable sources. In the present era of the rapid growth of renewable energybased applications, community electricity demand management is a challenging issue while ensuring 24×7 energy security [2]. Thus, a renewable energy source is a must for long-term sustainability and to resist climate change.…”

The new age of electricity generation is renewable energy. There is no other room but to use renewable resources in energy generation to make the planet healthier, safer, and sustainable for the future. There are many different forms of renewable resources, but solar power is by far the most convenient. By utilizing solar panels, solar energy can be converted into electricity. Nowadays, solar panels are extensively utilized for the efficiency, availability, and simplicity of power production. This paper mainly represents the simulation of the compact design of a grid-tied solar system for energy production & internet of things (IoT) -based power monitoring using Matlab/Simulink. The main three sections of this design are; a fully optimized grid-tied model, IoT-based power measuring system, and optimized battery-based storage system. The model is also capable of working under load -shedding conditions.When irradiance is 1000, the integrated system can produce 2056W from the solar panels and it gradually decreases when the irradiance is less than 1000. Detail's structure and modelling of this system are discussed in this paper and the results found were promising which could be implemented in real life.

“…It is a small power distribution, storage, and consumption system that transforms random and discontinuous renewable energy sources into a controllable power unit. [34][35][36] According to the different power supply modes of the MG, it can be divided into three structures: DC, AC, and AC/DC hybrid MGs. Although the single current MG is simple to control, it cannot meet the power requirements of different types of loads, which leads to the imbalance of the MG. [37][38][39] The structure of hybrid MGs is relatively complex, and the control difficulty is increased.…”

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has the advantages of flexible design, high safety, no cross-contamination, long service life, environmental friendliness, and good performance. VRFB has become the best choice for large-scale electrochemical energy storage. Renewable energy has severely restricted the development and use due to its discontinuous, unstable, and uncontrollable output power. The microgrid (MG) composed of VRFB, wind energy, and photovoltaic renewable energy is an effective solution to the random and intermittent nature of renewable energy. The work analyses the development status and existing problems of renewable energy power generation, VRFB energy storage technology, and microgrid. Without involving the development of the key components of the VRFB, research how to improve the performance of the VRFB to make it in the best operating state in the microgrid. The main contribution of this paper are to combine the application background of the microgrid to improve the overall performance of the battery from the aspects of VRFB modeling, battery structure design optimization, flow field and flow optimization, stack design, thermal treatment, and temperature characteristic distribution. Finally, this review offers insights for improving the performance of VRFBs in microgrids. Highlights• Analysis of renewable energy, energy storage technology, and microgrid framework.• Systematic analysis of the problems of vanadium flow battery in microgrid.• Researched how to improve the overall performance of the vanadium flow battery without developing new component materials.
