Microgrid Control in Distribution System Using Fuzzy Logic Technique

Abstract: A micro grid consists of cluster of loads and distributed generators that operate as a single controllable system. As an integrated energy delivery system micro grid can operate in parallel with or isolated from the main power grid. The micro grid concept introduces the reduction of multiple reverse conversions in an individual AC or DC grid and also facilitates connections to variable renewable AC and DC sources and loads to power systems. The interconnection of DGs to the utility/grid through power electronic converters has risen concerned about safe operation and protection of equipment’s. To the customer the micro grid can be designed to meet their special requirements; such as, enhancement of local reliability, reduction of feeder losses, local voltages support, increased efficiency through use of waste heat, correction of voltage sag or uninterruptible power supply. In the present work the performance of hybrid AC/DC micro grid system is analyzed in the grid tied mode. Here photovoltaic system, wind turbine generator and battery are used for the development of micro grid. Micro grid advantages can be cited as follows: The need for additional suppliers felt due to the rapid growth of load and fossil fuels reduction. Establishing new power generating sources will reduce environmental pollution and global warming. Distributed generation (DG) sources make it easy to combined heat and power (CHP) which increases its efficiency by reducing losses. The resources are suitable for consumers with low capacity. A small hybrid grid has been modeled and simulated using the Simulink in the MATLAB.
