Opti Grid: AI-Based Energy Management System for Solar-Powered Microgrids

As electricity demand continues to rise, electrical engineers will turn to renewable-based energy sources like solar panels and their batteries to meet this demand efficiently. By integrating renewable energy with artificial intelligence, the aim is to create a more sustainable and eco-friendly solution. The main focus is on developing an energy-management system for solar-powered microgrids by using a modified firefly optimizer approach. This system will optimize the dispatch of energy resources in grid-connected systems by efficiently utilizing solar photovoltaic technology and energy storage systems. The proposed system will validate its performance under varying weather conditions, which include sunny and cloudy days, to account for the stochastic nature of solar energy. The Opti Grid system will represent a step towards achieving a more efficient and sustainable smart grid environment. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting the increasing electricity demand.
