Abstract

With an increasing impact of microgrids (MGs) on modern power systems it is necessary to have algorithms ready and flexibly adaptable to different operating conditions and energy scenarios. This paper proposes an algorithm for the realtime operation of an islanded MG that is not based on demand and generation prediction. The objective of a centralized Energy Management System is to minimize the use of conventional, fuel based generation by using the State of Charge of the deployed Battery Energy Storage System to indicate the operating state of the MG.
