Energy Management of a Multi-Source Power System

This work focuses on energy management for a system operated by multiple sources which include batteries, super capacitors, hydrogen fuel cell, and photovoltaic cell. The overall objective is to minimize the power consumption from all needed satisfy system’s demand optimizing switching between different sources. A dynamic mathematical model representing developed taking into account constraints system, i.e., primarily state-of-charge of battery capacitors. In addition model, heuristic approach compared with model. Both approaches were tested multi-energy source ground robot as prototype. novelty this that scheduling an consisting four types performing analysis via programming, approach. results generated using both methods are analyzed standard mode operation. comparison validated proposed average across modeling performs well in terms optimization provided superior sequence, while offers definite advantages ease implementation simple computation requirements. Additionally, sequence was able meet simulations performed showed minimized.
