Energy Efficiency of Microgrid Implementation with Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants

The work with the use of simulation in the software Matlab / Simulink / SymPowerSystems environment considers construction of a local Smart Grid energy supply system with distributed solar power plants. The obtained model allows us to investigate the work of the intelligent network in any quasi-steady and transitional modes, including emergency ones. A distinctive feature of the proposed model is the localization of places for the installation of power active filter-compensating devices, the use of which allows providing the necessary quality of electric energy and achieving the minimum energy losses in the elements of the energy supply system. According to the results of the simulation, the comparison of the energy efficiency of the traditional energy supply system and Smart Grid has been made.
