What is it about?

This paper focuses on the development of a supervisory control scheme for power management and operation of an isolated hybrid AC/DC micro-grid, which consists of an AC micro-grid and a DC micro-grid.

Why is it important?

With the proposed power management system, the following goals are achieved: (i) maximum utilisation of renewable energy sources along with satisfying the load power demand in both AC and DC micro-grids, (ii) maintaining state of charge (SOC) of battery banks in both AC and DC micro-grids and (iii) managing the power exchange between the AC and the DC micro-grids while the reliability of the whole system is taken into account.

Perspectives

This paper proposed a novel rule-based supervisory control and management system for micro-grids that are composed of both AC and DC subsystems. In fact the management system is implemented based on a state machine approach. The main achieved goals are satisfying power demands, and optimizing overall efficiency of the system.
