Abstract
Microgrids are changing the traditional approach of addressing energy demands in a variety of communities and businesses. They open up new paths to a carbon-free, dependable, and resilient electric system. DC Microgrids are becoming more prevalent as power electronic converter technology advances. Today and in the future, higher fuel prices, deregulation, and environmental constraints present more opportunities for the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in power systems. A micro grid idea is necessary to integrate renewable energy sources into the electrical system. As a result, this proposed system has a micro grid control mechanism involving solar (PV), battery energy storage systems (BESS)and wind. To begin, voltage control alternatives for an island micro grid are investigated using hierarchical control approaches. Furthermore, the cost and electricity generated by renewable sources are calculated. Finally, this study presents an energy management system for micro grid functioning. In grid-connected mode, MATLAB and Arduino programming are used to find the lowest cost of electricity generation and power availability. The simulation results indicate that the suggested solutions are close to being accurate and efficient. The corresponding hardware model has been implemented.
