Experimental Demonstration of a Tiered Power Management System for Economic Operation of Grid-Tied Microgrids
TLDR
In this paper, a comprehensive power management system that includes two control layers is developed in order to operate a microgrid efficiently, the management system should accomplish two tasks: 1) It needs to be adaptive and optimize the microgrid's performance by defining long-term (daily-based) directives or control strategies.Abstract:
Power management of grid-tied microgrids including distributed generations (DGs) and storage devices can be challenging due to the intermittent and uncontrollable nature of many types of DGs, load variations in time, different grid power tariffs, availability of different options to balance the electric supply and demand, and other parameters. In order to operate a microgrid efficiently, the management system should accomplish two tasks. 1) It needs to be adaptive and optimize the microgrid's performance by defining long-term (daily-based) directives or control strategies. 2) The management system should be able to operate and control the microgrid in real time and satisfy all operational constraints. To address the above-mentioned tasks, a comprehensive power management system that includes two control layers is developed in this paper. Concept for the proposed power management policy was demonstrated on an experimental microgrid system composed of lead-acid batteries, photovoltaic (PV) system, 3-kW peak load, and a utility connection.read more

Microgrid: a conceptual solution
Robert H. Lasseter,P. Paigi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a system approach which views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a "microgrid". During disturbances, the generation and corresponding loads can separate from the distribution system to isolate the microgrid's load from the disturbance (providing UPS services) without harming the transmission grid's integrity.

Autonomous control of microgrids
P. Piagi,Robert H. Lasseter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a system approach which views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a "microgrid" where sources can operate in parallel to the grid or in island, providing UPS services, and the system will disconnect from the utility during large events (i.e. faults, voltage collapses), but may also intentionally disconnect when the quality of power from the grid falls below certain standards.
