Abstract
The primary focus of this study is to develop an energy management system that regulates the energy transfers between the hybrid microgrid system and the loads connected to it, and the grid via MATLAB/Simulink so as to model the flow of energy. The secondary aim is to make recommendations aimed at the charging and discharging of what is referred to as the hybrid energy storage system (HESS). The results indicate that the proposed algorithm successfully carried out the required task of bridging the HESS charging to discharging ratio in relation to the different operating conditions as well as power management between the microgrid and the network. In this application, a stronger charging power might be employed on the HESS. It has been seen that the HESS is more likely to complete charging within a short time than the greater charging power. A more advanced and efficient energy management system is critical to the microgrid system so that the generation can keep pace with the requirements of the load profile. It is important to take account of load forecasting with regard to power planning and executing so as to know the most suitable action that should be taken. To achieve a general reduction in the cost of operation, in this paper, we propose the use of an advanced Energy Management System (EMS), Model Predictive Control (MPC), to effectively manage the allocation of power in the microgrid.
Keywords: Energy Management System (EMS), Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS), forecast uncertainties, Model Predictive Control (MPC), microgrids, optimization.
