Control Scheme for Energy Management in Microgrids with Storage System: A Rural Area Analysis Case Study

Abstract

The growth of modern clean generation technologies brings with it significant benefits, but it also brings with it certain challenges, such as proper energy management. This has given rise to the emergence of microgrids whose basic design principle is an economical and efficient solution. In this sense, this work develops the model of a microgrid that includes a battery bank system and associated with a dynamic control scheme for proper energy management, this logic scheme is implemented and simulated in the Power Factory software for evaluation. The results obtained show an adequate behavior of the microgrid model for different scenarios of a real case study as an industrial demand located in a rural area, in the district of Navan, Lima, Peru, where a post-harvest processing of fruit trees is performed.
