Microgrids, by design, aim to enhance energy resilience and flexibility, but the integration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar introduces significant variability and unpredictability .
Conventional microgrid design approaches consider a fixed power architecture, focusing mainly on improving the financial aspects of the design by sizing its energy sources. This paper introduces a new Vectorial Microgrid Optimization (VMO) design method for critical loads.
The PrInCE Lab microgrid is a low-voltage radial distribution network structured as a TN-S system. It encompasses four different generation types along with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and two load banks. Generators can be differentiated on the basis of the primary energy source used into renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
Microgrids should be carefully planned and optimized to meet the power requirements of critical loads and justify their economic viability. Conventional microgrid design approaches consider a fixed power architecture, focusing mainly on improving the financial aspects of the design by sizing its energy sources.
AI-enhanced energy management systems (EMSs) have shown promising results in various microgrid configurations. For instance, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) equipped with AI algorithms have significantly improved cost savings and reliability by dynamically adjusting to load and generation changes .
