Micro grids interconnect loads and distributed energy resources as a single controllable entity. New installations of renewable energy sources in urban areas, such as building integrated photovoltaic, provide opportunities to increase energy independence and diversib, energy sources in the energy system. This paper explores the integration of renewable energy sources into two case study communities in an urban agglomeration to provide optimal conditions to meet a share of the electrical loads. Energy planning case studies for decentralized generation of renewable energy are conducted in highways 2 renewable systems energy planning software for hourly energy balances. The results indicate that building integrated photovoltaic and photovoltaic in the case study communities can cover about 17% of the recorded electrical demand of both areas. On a yearly basis, there will be a 0.025 GWh surplus of photovoltaic production with a maximum value of 1.25 MWh in one hour of operation unless grid storage is used. This amounts to a total investment cost of 13.36 million EUR. The results are useful for proposing future directions for the various case study communities targeting sustainable development.

Strategic Cyber-Security Perspective in Smart Grids
Canbek, Gurol; SAĞIROĞLU, Şeref (2018-03-25)
Conventional energy grids growing in time have become complex, inefficient and expensive to operate and use. They are critical because of providing the whole energy needs of the technologies required for our modern life but also cumbersome entities. "Smarting" the grids by automating, facilitating the troubleshooting and productivity analysis with the help of information technologies infrastructure, reinforcing the controls, charging the services in details makes it possible to administrate efficiently and ...
Central or Distributed Energy Storage for Processors with Energy Harvesting
Gelenbe, Erol; Ceran Arslan, Elif Tuğçe (2015-01-01)
We consider an interconnected distributed computer system with multiple computation centres (CC) that operate with energy harvesting to improve sustainability. The intermittent energy harvesting is matched with steady demand from the CCs using energy storage (ES), e.g. batteries. Based on energy leakage from batteries, and power losses over transmission lines, we examine whether a centralised or distributed ES system provides the solution that offers the smallest response time to a fixed workload of compute...

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...
Unit commitment by dynamic programming for microgrid operational planning optimization and emission reduction
Kanchev, H.; Francois, B.; Lazarov, V. (2011-09-10)
This paper presents a 24 hour ahead microgrid power planning using the approach of unit commitment by dynamic programming. The studied system comprises twelve PV based active generators with embedded storage and three micro gas turbines. Based on the prediction of the energy available from the PV generator, the storage availability, the micro turbine emission characteristics and the load prediction, a central energy management system calculates a 24-hour ahead plan of the power references for three micro ga...
Power loss reduction and voltage profile improvement via distributed PV site and size selection in smart grids: The case of North Cyprus
Abujubbeh, Mohammad; Fahrioğlu, Murat; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-8)
The increased awareness of communities on climate change, the inefficiencies associated with power-system infrastructure, and the exponential growth in energy demand motivated donors, non-governmental organizations, consumers, firms, and investors to cooperate with governments to establish an efficient and reliable framework that meets all requirements while ensuring user security, known as the Smart Grid (SG). One of the most pivotal enabler-technologies for the transition toward SGs is Distributed Generat...
