What are the most effective control strategies for microgrid operation and management to ensure optimal energy management and power quality, and how do these control strategies vary based on microgrid characteristics such as size, topology, and energy sources?
Optimize the energy management is very useful, when supply is less than demand by giving priority to more essential load like industrial loading than normal consumer loading along with considerations of economical loading of generating stations, which is useful even why supply is more than demand, could refer my papers mainly microprocessor based load shedding controller ……
According to the communication method, there are hierarchical, distributed control, centralized control, and decentralized control strategies. The optimization methods are conventional mathematical optimizations, AI-based methods, metaheuristic-based methods, and other methods. Based on your control objective, the control method can be usually selected.
Here are some commonly used control strategies for microgrid operation and management:
The selection and implementation of control strategies for microgrid operation and management depend on various factors, including microgrid size, topology, energy sources, power quality requirements, and operational objectives. It is essential to carefully analyze the microgrid characteristics and functional requirements to determine the most effective control strategies for ensuring optimal energy management and power quality in a given microgrid.
This is a very broad question and it's very hard to answer it to the point. If you are thinking about optimal energy management and power quality separately then there might be some answers in the literature.
For example, according to my understanding, if you are considering optimal energy management, the best way to achieve optimality would be Model Predictive Control (MPC).
However, MPC has limitations when applied to large or distributed systems where other methods such as Multi-agent become ideal candidates.
However, industry applications should be much more mature to define what 'large' means in the real world. In addition, almost all industrial applications use rule-based systems which is quite optimal when you optimize the rules with time.
Also, just bear in mind that there might be other solutions that are mentioned, that can achieve optimal energy management in the distributed system. However, MPC should be quite unbeatable in centralized systems.
