Communication Systems Based High Performance of Microgrid Control Systems

Abstract

This paper aims to enhance the performance of Microgrid MG control systems using the proposed communication systems. The energy management of MG system is playing a great role in electrical system planning and design. The MG having distributed generators such as Photovoltaic generator, wind energy conversion systems, Energy storage system, diesel energy system, hydro turbine system, etc. is controlled to share the load energy among them economically and less pollutions. Distribution of the certain load among the energy sources of MG can be done quickly by using a communication system. The proposed communication system has two Arduino boards, two wireless modules with antenna modules, two monitors and a platform that used to collect sensors data in the cloud. The distributed generators in the present MG consists of Photovoltaic energy source, wind energy conversion system, and Energy storage system. While the load is home load. The Energy Management in the present study is done through Microgrid Energy Management center and using the data collected from sensors at power station and load center. The results sent to local controllers at each power station through wireless communication systems to control and achieve energy management. The digital results prove the effectiveness the suggested wireless communication systems in sense of fast response and economically.
