Smart Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Systems

Smart grid is an evolution of existing power system with close interplay among energy, control and communication infrastructure. Power processing is done using both kinds of energy systems namely conventional remote power generation and non-conventional power generation in proximity with the loads and actuation is done using power electronic devices and systems. The realization of such type of interactive, resilient and sustainable model is a challenge. In this paper, a unique modeling and control prototype is presented for renewable energy sources integration into the smart grid. The model is scalable in nature which means more renewable energy sources can be added according to design requirements. Demonstration of transitory states, overall power conditioning and the transient response of the system indicate the usefulness of the proposed model.
