“…In [33] different architecture models of the MG, with their advantages and disadvantages, were analysed. Also in [34] and [16] a performance comparison of Alternating Current (AC), Direct Current (DC), hybrid AC-DC micro-grids and other configurations was realized. In particular, in [16] authors assert how DC distribution systems present less power quality problems.…”

Nowadays energy storage is strongly needed to allow grid safety and stability due to the wide penetration of renewable plants. Mainly economic and technological issues impede a relevant integration of conventional storage devices in the energy system. In this scenario, the hybridization of different storage technologies can be a techno-economic solution useful to overcome these issues and promote their diffusion. Hybridization allows multi-operation modes of the Energy Storage System (ESS), merging the positive features of base-technologies and extending their application ranges. This paper provides a dynamic analysis of a hybrid energy storage system (H-ESS) consisting of a flywheel and a battery pack coupled to a photovoltaic generation plant and a residential load up to 20 kW. A dynamic model of the overall micro-grid (MG) was developed implementing the H-ESS preliminary sizing and a suitable management algorithm. The instantaneous behavior of each component was evaluated. A brief summary of the MG performance at different weather and load conditions was provided together with a characterization of the impact of power fluctuations on the battery current and on the power exchange with the grid.

“…1, is controlled by the microgrid central controller (MGCC) or the energy management system (EMS). A basic MG structure integrates RES [9,10], traditional generators, loads and energy storage systems (ESS) [11,12], thus forming a more flexible, self-sufficient and environmental friendly system than the individual DG units [13]. The RES, such as wind turbines or photovoltaic, through local controllers to send energy to the grid or communicate with the MGCC and energy management system (EMS).…”

Abstract-The increasing integration of the distributed renewable energy sources highlights the requirement to design various control strategies for microgrids (MGs) and microgrid clusters (MGCs). The multi-agent system (MAS)-based distributed coordinated control strategies shows the benefits to balance the power and energy, stabilize voltage and frequency, achieve economic and coordinated operation among the MGs and MGCs. However, the complex and diverse combinations of distributed generations in multi-agent system increase the complexity of system control and operation. In order to design the optimized configuration and control strategy using MAS, the topology models and mathematic models such as the graph topology model, non-cooperative game model, the genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm are summarized. The merits and drawbacks of these control methods are compared. Moreover, since the consensus is a vital problem in the complex dynamical systems, the distributed MAS-based consensus protocols are systematically reviewed. NOMENCLATURE
