Modelling Of Smart Energy Management System For Solar Microgrid Using MATLAB/SIMULINK

The advent of on-site and decentralized power generation poses a major challenge to conventional power grids in the form of virtual storage requirement. This has led to a trend of developing systems that rely less on the grid and behave more as a standalone generation source. The proposed energy management solution influences the on-site generation and facilitates demand response by shifting the flexible loads based on forecasted data. To ensure that self-utilization of energy is efficient within the district or community, an agent-based control model is modelled. This project is designed for smart townships having 500 or more independent luxury villas which span across at least 100 acres or more. Once the individual villa's power demands are met, then with the help of a robust interconnected micro-grid across the entire township the rest of the power demands are met. As the load demand and renewable are uncertain throughout the day, an energy management system is essential to ensure grid stability and achieve reductions in operation costs and carbon dioxide emissions. A smart Energy Management System is proposed in this paper to build a cleaner, greener and sustainable society. A conceptual scaled down model of the smart townships employing mathematical models/equations and implementation of the same by Simulink tool in MATLAB is proposed in this paper.
