The Role of Energy Management in Microgrids With Hybrid Power Generation System
Abstract
Nowadays, consumption of energy is gradually increasing, the conscious for protecting environment is
improving and liberalization in energy market is proceeding. Furthermore, the distribution of traditional
energy sources is not homogeneous. These reasons are increasing interest to create policies for benefiting
from renewable sources better by developing newer technology and to fuel cell based alternative
distributed generation systems. Energy generation systems like wind, photovoltaic (PV), micro
hydroelectric are the promising and the most important renewable energy technologies. Moreover, fuel
cell based systems will indicate a great potential for future applications of distributed generation because
of their quick developing technology, high productivity, pollutant gases with no or low emission and their
elastic structures. In this study, energy management of a hybrid microgrid that was renewable energy
based (wind, photovoltaic, micro hydroelectric) was provided by a computer program reformed in
Microsoft C Sharp(C#) programming language in order to supply electric energy to small locations like
holiday camps which were far away from energy distributing systems and other locations. It was observed
that demanded energy was met by the data taken from generation sources thanks to this developed
program. The importance of the energy management was explained by analyzing one year results via
graphics.
