Fuzzy Based Expert System for Renewable Energy Management

The aim of this work is determine the most appropriated period for connecting a particular generation source fuelled by biogas on a distribution network. The main electrical characteristics of the network are evaluated. The proposed simulations provided data for analyzing the quantitative parameters – voltage levels, power losses and load current. A group of decision makers was selected for establishing scores applied to the qualitative parameter evaluation – availability of ancillary services support – according to each period in analysis. The fuzzy-based expert system is then applied for selecting and ranking the most appropriated period for connecting the distributed generation source. The definition of the ranking is the outcome according to the final priorities – quantitative and qualitative analysis. .
