Distributed renewable generation can be harmonized with the utility grid in flexible structures called microgrids. However, the use of renewables has its drawbacks, such as intermittency and generation uncertainty. Smart controllers can be used to solve such problems and operate the microgrids seamlessly. Accurate forecasts of the generation and demand can be beneficial for optimum operation. Unfortunately, such accurate forecasts may not be available in many cases due to the lack of measurements, the uncertainty of weather conditions, and the human factor. Although renewable sources can be predicted with the state of the art weather forecast methods, there is still uncertainty in their forecasts. Moreover, electric vehicles' charging time and duration has a probabilistic nature. A stochastic model predictive control methodology is proposed in this work to cope with such scenarios. Throughout the manuscript, the methodology and the corresponding simulation results are presented.

Centralized Microgrid Control System in Compliance with IEEE 2030.7 Standard Based on an Advanced Field Unit Pouraltafi-kheljan, Soheil; Ugur, Mesut; Bozulu, Efecan; Caliskan, Bahadir Can; Keysan, Ozan; Göl, Murat (2021-11-01) The necessity for the utilization of microgrids emerges from the integration of distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, and battery storage systems into the conventional grid structure. In order to achieve a proper operation of the microgrid, the presence of a microgrid control system is crucial. The IEEE 2030.7 standard defines the microgrid control system as a key element of the microgrid that regulates every aspect of it at the point-of-interconnection with the distribution system, and autonomou...
Design of a Centralized Microgrid Controller in Compliance with IEEE 2030.7 Standard Pouraltafi-Kheljan, Soheil; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-10) With the incorporation of renewable distributed energy resources and electric vehicles and battery storage systems into the conventional grid structure, the need for a microgrid and its control is emerging. IEEE 2030.7 Standard defines the Microgrid control system as a key element of microgrid regulating every aspect of it at the point-of-interconnection (POI) with the distribution system and autonomously manages operations such as transitions of operating modes. This system consists of control functions, w...
Operational Optimization of an Agricultural Microgrid Brown, Paul D.; Göl, Murat (2022-01-01) A demonstration agricultural microgrid containing solar photovoltaic (PV), battery storage system (BSS) and multiple water pumps and reservoirs is presented. A mathematical model of the cost of operating the demonstration microgrid is developed. The mathematical model includes hybrid inverter source switching and BSS charging modes in addition to power balance and inter-period energy and water-level coupling. Electricity pricing and irrigation water use efficiency are allowed to vary by time of day. The mat...
Solar Power Generation Analysis and Forecasting Real-World Data Using LSTM and Autoregressive CNN tosun, nail; sert, egemen; Ayaz, Enes; YILMAZ, ekin; GÖL, MURAT (2020-09-22) Generated power of a solar panel is volatile and susceptible to environmental conditions. In this study, we have analyzed variables affecting the generated power of a 17.5 kW real-world solar power plant with respect to five independent variables over the generated power: irradiance, time of measurement, panel's temperature, ambient temperature and cloudiness of the weather at the time of measurement. After our analysis, we have trained three different models to predict intra-day solar power forecasts of th...
Smart Solar Micro-grid Using ZigBee and Related Security Challenges Qadir, Zakria; Tafadzwa, Vincent; Rashid, Haroon; Batunlu, Canras (2018-11-02) Renewable energy is needed to preserve a sustainable environment. One particular form of renewable energy (solar energy) is one of the most important and cost-effective solutions to the energy crisis. In this study, efficient solar energy management using ZigBee technology shall he discussed. The system informs the user when solar panels produce excess power before supplying it to the surrounding users, thus making the supplier a prosumer instead of a consumer. GSM which is used to monitor energy usage over...
