Energy Management System, Hardware in the Loop, Microgrid, single-board computer (en)Energy management systems are one of the most important components in the operation of an electric microgrid. They are responsible for ensuring the supervision of the electrical system, as well as the coordination and reliability of all loads and distributed energy resources in order for the microgrid to be operated as a unified entity. Because of that, an energy management system should be fast enough at processing data and defining control action to guarantee the correct performance of the microgrid. This paper explores the design and implementation of an energy management system deployed over a dedicated electronic device. The proposed energy management device coordinates the distributed energy resources and loads in a residential-scale islanded microgrid, in accordance with a rule-based energy management strategy that ensures reliable and safe operation of the battery-based energy storage system. A hardware-int-he-loop test was performed with a real-time simulation platform to show the operation of the electronic device
Los sistemas de gestión de energía son uno de los componentes más importantes en la operación de las microrredes eléctricas. Son responsables de asegurar la supervisión del sistema eléctrico, además de la confiabilidad y coordinación de todas las cargas y los recursos energéticos distribuidos, de tal forma que la microrred pueda ser operada como una entidad unificada. Debido a esto, un sistema de gestión de energía debe ser lo suficientemente rápido para procesar un gran número de datos y definir las acciones de control para garantizar el correcto funcionamiento de la microrred. Este documento explora el diseño e implementación de un sistema de gestión de energía desplegado sobre un dispositivo electrónico dedicado. El dispositivo de gestión de energía propuesto coordina las cargas y los recursos energéticos distribuidos en una microrred aislada a escala residencial de acuerdo a un sistema de gestión de energía basado en reglas que asegura una operación confiable y segura del sistema de almacenamiento de energía basado en baterías. Se realizó una prueba de hardware en el lazo de control usando una plataforma de simulación en tiempo real para demostrar la operación del dispositivo electrónico.
