Microgrid simulation training steps

How do you develop a microgrid control system?

Design a microgrid control network with energy sources such as traditional generation, renewable energy, and energy storage. Model inverter-based resources. Develop microgrid control algorithms and energy management systems. Assess interoperability with a utility grid. Analyze and forecast load to reduce operational uncertainty.

What is a microgrid MATLAB & Simulink?

Microgrid network connected to a utility grid developed in the Simulink environment. With MATLAB and Simulink, you can design, analyze, and simulate microgrid control systems. Using a large library of functions, algorithms, and apps, you can:

What drives microgrid development?

Resilience, efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, security, and reliability are key drivers for microgrid developments. These factors motivate the need for integrated models and tools for microgrid planning, design, and operations at higher and higher levels of complexity.

What is a microgrid control practice?

Curtailment: This microgrid control practice reduces generation and/or load power. The main reason to curtail generation/load is to maintain security and stability when unplanned events occur or when operational conditions stress the grid.

How does a microgrid work?

A microgrid can operate when connected to a utility grid (grid-connected mode) or independently of the utility grid (standalone or islanded mode). In islanded mode, the system load is served only from the microgrid generation units. In this mode, the microgrid control regulates voltage and frequency of generation units using grid-forming control.

Is there a microgrid simulator for RL?

An open-source simulator in the OpenAI gym environment, representing a microgrid for RL, exists, but targets primary control applications [6, 8]. Other models are available on GitHub but either do not simulate tertiary control, are difficult to scale to multiple microgrids or do not allow for straightforward RL integration [1, 2, 3].
