METHOD AND INSTRUMENTATION FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY LOAD FLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PERFORMING AS RESILIENT ADAPTIVE MICROGRID SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a method and instrumentation for predictive and adaptive controllers devised to ensure uninterrupted operation of standalone electrical supply systems powered by sustainable energy sources. The device, herein referred to as SelfMaster, is an expert system that manages the energy conversion, storage, and consumption in an isolated electric grid based on data collected during past and current operation of the system and predicted future states of the primary energy sources, storage level, and demand. The sustainable primary energy sources managed by SelfMaster may include, but are not limited to, wind force, solar radiation, and biofuels. The energy storage system is a combination of batteries, hydrogen, biofuel, and hot water tanks. Electric demand consists of critical, non-critical, and deferrable loads identified according to the activities supported by the supply system.
