Resilience, efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, security, and reliability are key drivers for microgrid developments. These factors motivate the need for integrated models and tools for microgrid planning, design, and operations at higher and higher levels of complexity.
Determining the configurations of the automation systems, electrical network, and DER structures is the fundamental goal of microgrid planning and design. Grid designers always take into account the system load profile and energy demand and supplies when planning microgrids .
In an industrial microgrid, the planning objectives are ensuring power reliability, minimize downtime, faster system reconfiguration during fault and cost optimization. Electrical design covers the voltage selection, network structure, grounding etc. while the automation design ensures system protection, monitoring, communication etc.
Our microgrid design is implemented and simulated using MATLAB Simulink Specialized Power Systems and Stateflow toolboxes. Figure 6 shows an overview of our microgrid implementation. The main subsystem blocks include solar PV system, battery system, converter/inverter substation, diesel generator, control system, and distribution system.
System configuration and design, safety, energy measurement and control, and scheme evaluation are some of the methodologies, factors, and best practices to take into account while planning and developing microgrids (grid-connected or stand-alone) .
