RESULTS / DISCUSSION

FUTURE WORK

• Development of real time assessment and control methodology of Microgrid with high renewable energy penetration.

• Develop a scheme for real time assessment of Microgrid with the help of PMCU’s installed at vital locations.

• Develop and analyze a Microgrid model having voltage and frequency regulation participation from conventional generators and WPP.

Acknowledgements

We gratefully acknowledge the support of Intelligent Systems Center .

• Analyzed renewable energy sources capability for supporting the grid by providing voltage and frequency support.

• Implemented the active and reactive power control schemes for Wind power plant.

FUTURE WORK

• Other generation sources like photovoltaic system, battery sources, Car parks and Fuel cells would be added to complete the Microgrid.

• PMCUs at vital locations would be installed in the Microgrid and a theoretical communication network would be developed between them.

• PMCU data would be used to analyze and asses the real time state of the Microgrid.

MICROGRID MODEL WITH WPP

LOAD PROFILE AND SIMULATION RESULTS

• The simulation results displays the power shared by WPP and synchronous generator when the Microgrid is subjected to the Load Profile.

• In this simulation the voltage profile at critical buses and the rotor speeds of synchronous generators are also captured and analyzed.

• This model is to be used to analyze the best configuration of generation mix possible for a particular wind profile where the aim is to maximize the renewable penetration.
