  • Microgrid power flow calculation simulation

    Microgrid power flow calculation simulation

    It is a high-performance simulation and visualization tool which can be used for calculating power flow time series of either autonomous or grid connected MicroGrids, dimensioning electrical equipment and energy storage devices or planning MicroGrids. In this paper the MicroGrid Simulator is introduced. This example is based on the IEEE benchmark test case. As an emerging distributed energy system, microgrid power flow prediction plays a crucial role in optimizing energy dispatch and power grid operation. The power flow equations are modified considering there is no slack bus, and DG models are formulated for low-voltage, short transmission networks.

  • What is the main purpose of microgrid

    What is the main purpose of microgrid

    The Microgrid Exchange Group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode.".
