Energy Management Storage for PV Connected Smart Microgrids

Abstract

— Penetration of renewable sources in the  power  system network has been increasing in the recent years. One of the solutions being proposed to improve the reliability and performance of these systems is to integrate energy storage device into the power system network. The main fact is that Renewable Energy Sources (RES) plants have to operate at the maximum possible output whenever technically possible. That the ancillary services could be provided by the distributed generators and the energy storage systems are expected to give great added value to the microgrid-based smart grid topologies. These services must be integrated into the control system of the microgrids. This paper presents an improved strategy  for energy storage management and demand side management and its application to a microgrid-based smart grid topology that improving power supply reliability.
