DEVELOPMENT OF AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT TOOL FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURSE’S PENETRATION AND BATTERY’S OPERATION

Abstract

An efficient energy management tool is required to control flexibility the home/building energy devices such as photovoltaic (PV) power generation and storage battery (BT), etc. In this paper, we propose a new energy management tool which consists of PVs and BTs, DC loads, their connection line DC power bus, AC loads via inverter, and connected/unconnected to distribution line. 24-hour energy management system simulation is carried out to verify the performance of the proposed tool by MATLAB/Simulink SimPowerSystems. We confirm that the output of the PV, the charge/discharge operation of the BT, the consumption of the AC load is successfully operated.
