The aim of this document is to present the
simulations performed with the control system designed to manage a microgrid in
an optimum way according to technical and economical criteria in the scope of
the DER-IREC22@ project.
For simulation purposes, a set of scenarios had
been defined, starting from basic one and reaching the most complex and
sophisticated ones. A basic scenario could be a set of conventional loads
connected to the grid in normal operation mode, while the most complex one could
be a microgrid including renewable generators, storage devices, loads that can
be scheduled, dimmed or its setpoint modified and a set of EV in V2G
configuration operating under a grid contingency situation.
Several policy prices for electricity have been
studied, as well as different types of devices, weather conditions, grid
constraints, microgrid sizes and optimization horizons.
For each scenario, the parameters describing
the optimization system, the technical and economical model of the devices that
participate are listed. A description of the results and comments about the
performance of the system is added.
Furthermore, a set of selected scenarios have
been emulated. To emulate is to go a step further than simulations in the sense
that it exists an actual energy flow. In this way, the response of the system
is closer than that of real devices. It allows testing communication between
devices as well.
The final section sums up the conclusions
collected for the simulations and the whole project and includes a list of
future work.
