Predictive Energy Management Of Islanded Microgrids With Photovoltaics And Energy Storage, Dennis G. Michaelson
Predictive Energy Management Of Islanded Microgrids With Photovoltaics And Energy Storage, Dennis G. Michaelson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Islanded microgrids powered primarily by photovoltaic (PV) arrays present a challenging control problem due to the intermittent production and the relatively close scale between the sources and the loads. Energy storage in such microgrids plays an important role in balancing supply with demand, and in extending operation during periods when the PV supply is not available or insufficient. The efficient operation of such microgrids requires effective management of all resources. A predictive energy management strategy can potentially avoid or effectively mitigate upcoming outages. This thesis presents an energy management system (EMS) for such microgrids. The EMS uses a predictive approach …
