Energy Management System for a Residential Microgrid in a Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Platform

In this paper, a microgrid scenario composed by a PV generator, a battery system and residential loads in a power Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platform is developed and tested. The electrical structure of the system, the component software modelling and hardware implementation are described. This paper proposes an EMS for microgrid power balance and execution of Time of Use (TOU) and load shedding Demand Response (DR) functions. Experimental results of each component of the scenario are shown.
