This work presents an algorithm that manages the operation of circuit breakers inserted in a micro-grid connected to the main electric distribution system. The micro-grid consists of loads, a photovoltaic plant and is equipped with an energy storage system. The main goal is to limit the average power required to the grid, by shedding and/or dimmering the loads, and maximize the renewable energy production and the self-consumption also through a suitable management of the storage. The effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated in terms of energy not provided to loads and error with respect to the average power reference. The management is based on a user-defined priority list assigned to loads and energy storage.

Abstract

This work presents an algorithm that manages the operation of circuit breakers inserted in a micro-grid connected to the main electric distribution system. The micro-grid consists of loads, a photovoltaic plant and is equipped with an energy storage system. The main goal is to limit the average power required to the grid, by shedding and/or dimmering the loads, and maximize the renewable energy production and the self-consumption also through a suitable management of the storage. The effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated in terms of energy not provided to loads and error with respect to the average power reference. The management is based on a user-defined priority list assigned to loads and energy storage.
