Instantaneous, Short-Term and Predictive Long-Term Power Balancing Techniques in Intelligent Distribution Grids

摘要

An increased number of distributed small generators connected to the power grid allows higher total efficiency and higher stability of electrical power supply by exporting energy to the grid to be achieved during peak demand hours. On the other hand, it poses new challenges in structuring and developing the control approaches for these distributed energy resources. This paper proposes an improved method of real-time power balancing targeted to reaching long-term energy management objectives. The novel long-term energy management technique is proposed, that is based on load categorization and regulation of energy consumption by regulating electricity price function estimated with the proposed mathematical model. The method was evaluated by a Lab-VIEW model by simulating various types of loads. The price function for the defined energy generation pattern from renewable energy sources was obtained.
