This study proposes a centralized control system for an islanded multivariable minigrid to improve its performance, stability and resilience. The integration of renewable energy sources and distributed energy storage systems into microgrid networks is a growing trend, particularly in remote or islanded areas where centralized grid systems are not available. The proposed control system is designed to be implemented at two levels a high-level control system and a low-level control system. Hence, the high-level control system balances energy resources and demand, makes decisions for effective resource utilization and monitors energy transactions within the minigrid. Real-time data from various sources and advanced algorithms are used to optimize energy management and distribution enabling the integration of renewable energy sources and enhancing the resilience of the minigrid against power outages. Moreover, the low-level control system monitors energy parameters such as voltage, current, frequency and mechanical energy. The control system ensures these parameters remain within the specified range, maintaining system stability and ensuring efficient energy distribution. It also protects the minigrid against power outages improving system reliability and security. Finally, the proposed centralized control system offers a promising solution for improving the performance, stability and resilience of microgrid networks. The system provides real-time monitoring, efficient energy management and distribution, and the integration of renewable energy sources. These results have important implications for the development and deployment of microgrid networks in remote or islanded areas. |
