Energy Management Strategy for Rural Communities’ DC Micro Grid Power System Structure with Maximum Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources

M. Gunasekaran, Hidayathullah Mohamed Ismail, C. Bharatiraja, Lucian Mihet‐Popa, Sanjeevikumar Padmanaban · 2018 · Applied Sciences

Summary. This paper develops an energy management strategy for DC microgrids serving rural communities that integrates solar, wind, fuel cells, and batteries. The strategy balances power between renewable sources and storage systems to meet variable loads while minimizing diesel generator use. The authors tested their approach through simulation and laboratory experiments, demonstrating it effectively handles dynamic load variations and improves system reliability for rural power systems.
