POWER FLOW OPTIMIZATION IN MICRO GRIDS WITH ENERGY STORAGE

Storage of energy may be improved by power management that include renewable energy sources. The smooth and much energy balance can be achieved by using the storage devices which matches the generated to the consumption. Optimal control of the control of the micro grid’s energy storage devices is addressed in this project. To optimize the overall power utilization at the micro grids point of common coupling (PCC) the storage devices are controlled to balance the power generation of renewable sources. Limits imposed by the storage device such as internal losses and limited capacity are emphasized in the recent works. The solution of optimal power flow considers the total system which is proposed in this project. The storage device limits, current limits, voltage limits and power limits. The proposed solver gets the globally optimal solution even though the power network is arbitrarily complex.
