Near zero energy buildings are increasing worldwide, exploiting low-carbon technologies in heating and electricity self-production. Commercial increasingly considered as candidates for the installation of smart micro-grids, which may profit from added storage capacity batteries employees electric vehicles, stationed during daytime their charging lots. Smart exploitation interaction these source...

The advancement of hybrid energy resources such as solar and wind power leading to the emergence of customer owned grid. It provides an opportunity to regulars to obtain low energy costs as well as enabling the power supplier to regulate the utility grid. There is a need to develop smart systems that will automatically submit energy demand schedule and monitors energy price signals in real-time...

In this work; we suggest a new intelligent optimization method to solve the optimal energy management issue in the renewable micro-grids (MGs). The proposed method is constructed based on the harmony search (HS) algorithm as well as a novel adaptive modification method to solve the problem effectively. The proposed modification method consists of three submodifications to provide the algorithm ...

The paper describes a battery storage unit for small DC micro-grids based on a multi-cell topology. The system consists of a series arrangement of lead-acid type battery cells where each cell is equipped with an individual DC-DC buck converter located directly at the battery terminals. For minimizing the output ripple the cells are operated in interleaved PWM mode. With this the cell-to-cell wi...

Demand response optimization (DR) is a key component of Smart Grids. However, existing DR programs fail to effectively leverage the near-realtime information available from AMIs and BANs to adapt to increasing dynamism in energy use profiles. In this paper, we investigate the use of Semantic Complex Event Processing (CEP) to model and detect dynamic situations in a campus micro grid that facili...

existed electricity grids deliver produced power to the consumer passing through transmission and distribution grids. According to high losses of these grids in transmission level and inexistence of bilateral interaction for simultaneous information exchange, a concept of smart grids were made by capabilities such as consciously participation of consumers in the smart electricity grids, an amou...

AC/DC hybrid micro grid system (HMGS) is designed with renewable energy sources (RES) and battery storage (BESS) unique control schemes, interfaced multi terminal interlinking converters (ILCs). This ILC operates on droop scheme to guarantee bidirectional power sharing sub grids. The in grids like PV, Fuel cell, BESS are controlled by advance methods for maximum extraction quality. A three-leve...
