Smart Microgrid Control Research

What are the strategies for energy management systems for smart microgrids?

There are many strategies for energy management systems for smart microgrids such as load management, generation management, and energy storage management 4. The control system of a microgrid must continuously analyze and prioritize loads to maintain a balance between power generation and consumption.

What is smart grid & microgrid deployment?

The smart grid can be summarised as the combination of DERs integration and optimal control techniques. Microgrid deployment is the conceptual platform that makes the implementation of intelligent technologies possible.

What are the six control techniques for Microgrid Applications?

This research identifies and classifies six control techniques as the principal conceptual development framework of control modelling for innovative microgrid applications. These are linear, non-linear, robust, predictive, intelligent and adaptive control techniques.

Can hybrid microgrids be controlled?

Despite the merits of HMG, the coordination and control of hybrid microgrid are becoming a challenging issue. To solve these problems, in References 112, 116, 117, and 118, different control solutions are provided for HMG operation.

How can a smart microgrid improve safety?

To further fortify the smart microgrid's safety, a theft detection device that tracks the gap between electricity withdrawal and consumption has been implemented. The proposed system also included the management of inverter and smart meter-connected loads, allowing for flexible responses to power outages.

How can a microgrid improve the performance of SMG?

Looking at the rise in population and power demand, the AC, DC, and hybrid microgrid applications are gaining interest. Many researchers suggested different robust control techniques, storage devices, and inverter topologies to improve the performance of SMG by providing better stability, voltage, and frequency control.
