Multiprocessor structure for managing multi-nature energy sources

A multiprocessor structure is proposed to manage the operation of an integrated power generating system, which includes a photovoltaic generator, a diesel generator set, and storage batteries. Economic and ecological considerations are the main factors which determine the choice of the mode of operation of the available unit. The multiprocessor maintains the operation of the whole system as an uninterruptible power supply with minimum total running cost. The proposed multiprocessor structure is not restricted to specific numbers or types of energy sources, but can be applied to any number of energy sources that differ in nature and operation policy. The system considered is suitable for generating power far from a power network.<
