Efficient Energy Management for a Grid-Tied Residential Microgrid

In this paper, an effective energy management system (EMS) for application in integrated building and microgrid system is introduced and implemented as a multi-objective optimization problem. The proposed architecture covers different key modelling aspects such as distributed heat and electricity generation characteristics, heat transfer and thermal dynamics of sustainable residential buildings...

Mix - Mode Energy Management Strategy and Battery Sizing for Economic 1 Operation of Grid - Tied Microgrid

Optimal Operation Management of Grid-connected Microgrid Using Multi-Objective Group Search Optimization Algorithm

Utilizing distributed generations (DGs) near load points has introduced the concept of microgrid. However, stochastic nature of wind and solar power generation as well as electricity load makes it necessary to utilize an energy management system (EMS) to manage hourly power of microgrid and optimally supply the demand. As a result, this paper utilizes demand response program (DRP) and battery t...

Partially Shaded Operation of a Grid-Tied PV System: Preprint

Partial shading of a PV installation has a disproportionate impact on its power production. This paper presents background and experimental results from a single string grid-tied PV system, operated under a variety of shading conditions. In this configuration a shadow can represent a reduction in power over 30 times its physical size. Results are presented relating size and positions of shading...
