Comparative Impact of Wind and Photovoltaic Energy Integration on Isolated Microgrid Self-Sufficiency and Load Management

The micro grid structure creates a new distribution network that includes multiple power sources in place of the conventional distribution infrastructure with a radial network and one power source. An autonomous or grid-connected micro grid may be identified based on the degree of connection it has with the main grid. Since there is no link to the main grid in an isolated micro grid, the micro grid must be self-sufficient. This kind of micro grid functions as a miniature power system, complete with generating, transmission, and distribution components. The accessibility of local energy supplies is the primary factor driving isolated micro grids. In order to improve the isolated operating of the micro grid, this research presents a comparative analysis of introducing wind or photovoltaic (PV) energy sources to the micro grid. The research compares adding the same amount of wind or photovoltaic energy to the self-sufficient microgrid. The two primary parameters that are compared are the quantity of energy that is not given to the load and the duration of time that certain loads are shredded. We'll examine in-depth a standard case analysis of the micro grid system in Jaipur, India. We will offer a simulation model that computes the electrical power production for both PV and wind energy systems based on real data collected at the site about variations in environmental conditions. MATLAB was used to develop the model so that it could be used anywhere in the globe. The evolution of the current electrical networks towards an environmentally friendly distribution network system will lead to the incorporation of the micro grid system with renewable energy resources. The final findings are shown, demonstrating how solar or wind energy affects the micro grid's isolated functioning.
