The promotion of renewable energy sources (RES) and ecologically clean technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a key policy of the European Commission. In isolated regions with great and unexploited RES potential, RES technologies can exploit local resources for electricity supply and substantial energy savings. The use of decision support systems (DSS) aims the multidimensional deci...

Renewable energy sources (RES), especially wind power plants, have high priority of promotion in the energy policies worldwide. An increasing share of RES and distributed generation (DG), should, as has been assumed, provide improvement in reliability of electricity delivery to the customers. Paper presented here concentrates on electricity storage systems technologies and applications pinpoint...

The integration of renewable sources within the existing power system affects its traditional principles of operation. The renewable energy sources (RES) can be used in small, decentral‐ ized power plants or in large ones, they can be built in small capacities and can be used in different locations [1]. In isolated areas where the cost of the extension of the power systems (from utilities point...

Real time Data Acquisition, Remote Monitoring and Control of Renewable Energy System are mandatory for an efficient coordinated operation of diverse intermittent energy resources. As an element of initiative to integrate green energy facilities, to aid the prospective smart grid issues, a demonstration project “Design & Development of Smart MicroGrid” is being executed in Energy Center, Maulana...

Abstract:This paper presents the planning of an optimal Energy Management System (EMS) supported by a fuzzy logic Controller (FLC) for a residential grid-connected micro grid with hybrid renewable generation (Wind & Photo Voltaic) and storage system. Modelling hybrid system includes Renewable Energy Sources given at intermittent supply conditions and dynamic energy demand, and to make conceptua...

The exploitation of renewable energy sources has assumed a significant role, especially in an integrated vision of problems concerning energy policies, The 2009/28/EC Directive of the European Parliament and Council has indicated ambitious energy and climate change objectives for 2020 (according to the so-called “EU2020 Strategy”): greenhouse gas emissions reduction for 20%, renewable energy in...

Power grids are facing new challenges as a consequence of an increase in the use of renewable energy sources (RES). The fluctuation in power supply from these energy sources results in insecure and unstable operating points. Furthermore, the integration of distributed energy resources (DER), as well as distributed information systems, poses serious stability and security challenges in power net...

The renewable energy sources have increased significantly due to environmental issues and fossil fuels elevated cost. Integration of renewable energy sources to utility grid depends on the scale of power generation. Large scale power generations are connected to transmission systems where as small scale distributed power generation is connected to distribution systems. There are certain challen...
