Power flow Petri Net modelling for building integrated multi-source power system with smart grid interaction

摘要

This paper presents an energy management modelling of a multi-source power system composed of photovoltaic (PV) array, storage and power grid connection, and taking into account messages from smart grid. The designed system can supply a tertiary building at the same time as PV may produce energy. The control strategy aims to manage the power flow through the load with respect to its power demand and public grid constraints. The proposed energy management modelling is based on interpreted Petri Nets formalism. The system is tested using a simulation Stateflow model and responds within certain limits. The results show that this approach is valid and can be a solution for the future smart grid communication between buildings and public grid and may contribute to a better balance between production and consumption and future energy management.
