Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's power system is facing the challenges of increasing global demand for electricity, high-reliability requirements, the need for clean energy and environmental protection, and planning restrictions. To move towards a green and smart electric power system, centralized generation facilities are being transformed into smaller and more distributed ones. As a result, the microgrid concept is emerging, where a microgrid can operate as a single controllable system and can be viewed as a group of distributed energy loads and resources, which can include many renewable energy sources and energy storage systems. The energy management of a large number of distributed energy resources is required for the reliable operation of the microgrid. Microgrids and nanogrids can allow for better integration of distributed energy storage capacity and renewable energy sources into the power grid, therefore increasing its efficiency and resilience to natural and technical disruptive events. Microgrid networking with optimal energy management will lead to a sort of smart grid with numerous benefits such as reduced cost and enhanced reliability and resiliency. They include small-scale renewable energy harvesters and fixed energy storage units typically installed in commercial and residential buildings. In this challenging context, the objective of this book is to address and disseminate state-of-the-art research and development results on the implementation, planning, and operation of microgrids/nanogrids, where energy management is one of the core issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by new regulations, new market structures, and new energy resources, the smart grid has been the trigger for profound changes in the way that electricity is generated, distributed, managed, and consumed. The smart grid has raised the traditional power grid by using a two-way electricity and information flow to create an advanced, automated power supply network. However, these pioneering smart grid technologies must grow to adapt to the demands of the current digital society. In today’s digital landscape, we can access feasible data and knowledge that were merely inconceivable. This Special Issue aims to address the landscape in which smart grids are progressing, due to the advent of pervasive technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT). It will be the advanced exploitation of the massive amounts of data generated from (low-cost) IoT sensors that will become the main driver to evolve the concept of the smart grid, currently focused on infrastructure, towards the digital energy network paradigm, focused on service. Furthermore, collective intelligence will improve the processes of decision making and empower citizens. Original manuscripts focusing on state-of-the-art IoT networking and communications, M2M communications, cyberphysical system architectures, big data analytics or cloud computing applied to digital energy platforms, including design methodologies and practical implementation aspects, are welcome.

Download or read book Microgrids Design and Implementation written by Antonio Carlos Zambroni de Souza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the emerging trend of smart grids in power systems. It discusses the advent of smart grids and selected technical implications; further, by combining the perspectives of researchers from Europe and South America, the book captures the status quo of and approaches to smart grids in a wide range of countries. It describes the basic concepts, enabling readers to understand the theoretical aspects behind smart grid formation, while also examining current challenges and philosophical discussions. Like the industrial revolution and the birth of the Internet, smart grids are certain to change the way people use electricity. In this regard, a new term – the “prosumer” – is used to describe consumers who may sometimes also be energy producers. This is particularly appealing if we bear in mind that most of the distributed power generation in smart grids does not involve carbon emissions. At first glance, the option of generating their own power could move consumers to leave their current energy provider. Yet the authors argue that doing so is not a wise choice: utilities will play a central role in this new scenario and should not be ignored.

Download or read book Optimal Planning of Advanced Microgrids with an Energy Management System written by Mike Quashie and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With an increased focus on reliability and a desire to reduce environmental impacts, power system planners are exploring the advantages of distributed energy resources (DERs) to compliment the central grid. Emerging technologies are making it possible to deploy advanced microgrids capable of integrating multiple DERs into the power system, and can operate either in isolation or parallel to the grid. Microgrids can also aid in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the improvement of local system reliability and efficiency, as well as the management and control of power generation. Nevertheless, successful implementation and deployment of microgrids will require advance planning strategies that seek to best balance its operational and financial benefits.This thesis proposes a bi-level formulation for a realistic sequential planning and operation problem of an advanced microgrid. The proposed model recast as a mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints (MPEC), jointly determines the optimal configuration of a microgrid while optimizing the outputs of its installed energy resources through the implementation of an energy management system. The coupled formulation characterizes an hierarchical decision making process where a microgrid planner or designer and a proxy operator solving an economic dispatch problem independently control a set of variables at each level of the model. The work further analyzes available investment options for microgrid implementation and uses capital budgeting techniques to determine the return on investment to potential microgrid stakeholders. Within the same context of bi-level modeling, the proposed model is modified and extended to characterize the interaction between a microgrid planner and a distribution systems operator (DSO). The modified model is developed within the context of a new DSO paradigm. Given that microgrid implementation and operation are mainly justified by the benefits accrued to microgrid stakeholders, the unified modeling language is utilized in the thesis to allocate discovered benefits and identify corresponding stakeholders to whom they may apply. The aim of the thesis work is to transform the proposed model into a techno-economic tool that can be used for planning and evaluation of microgrid implementation, and capable of estimating benefits of deploying advanced microgrids. Application of the proposed work to develop business cases for practical microgrids (remote, commercial and industrial) are also discussed. Results obtained through these applications are verified using DER-CAM (a commercially accepted microgrid planning software package). " --
