Prosumer energy as a stimulator of micro- Smart Grids development - on the consumer side

Micro Energy Management of Distributed Generations Inside Smart Micro Grids

A campus based smart micro grid model that combined power and heat is presented. In this study, optimal scheduling of distributed generations inside these smart micro grids is determined based on demand forecasting, solar power forecasting and wind power forecasting by artificial neural network (ANN). The proposed model is then evaluated through economical efficiency, environment efficiency and...

A Fuzzy Multi-Objective Optimization Model for Production and Consumption Management in Energy Micro Smart Grids

Electricity is one of the most important carriers of energy used in buildings. By introducing energy smart grids (SG) and energy micro smart grids (MSGs) alongside smart buildings, a good platform has been provided for optimal planning of electricity production and consumption. In this paper, an MSG consists of renewable resources, diesel generators and cell batteries in bidirectional connectio...

Micro-Systems Driving Smart Energy Metering in Smart Grids

Energy is a precious societal resource, and increasingly rated for its ‘quality’ or lack thereof as a contributor to greenhouse gases (GHGs). Modern electrical energy systems operate at the intersection of technological advances in microelectronics, communications, and control. From individual components and systems such as computer systems to their aggregates and enclosures such as data center...

A two-step approach to energy management in smart micro-grids aimed at improving social welfare levels and the demand side management effect

Demand-side management is one of the ways to create interaction between the microgrid and increase consumer participation in management schemes. Different algorithms and strategies have been used to execute consumption management programs that often covering a limited number of loads in several specific types. In this paper, first, the load shift method as an optimization problem to reduce syst...
