Novel energy management and control system for introducing demand response actions and energy efficiency in micro-grid operation

Abstract:

The aim of this research resides in the development of an energy management and control systems (EMCS) to control a micro-grid based on the use of renewable generation and demand resources to introduce the application of demand response concepts to the management of micro-grids in order to effectively integrate the demand side as an operation resource for the grid and improve energy efficiency of the elements. As an additional result, the evaluation of reductions in the total amount of CO 2 emitted into the atmosphere due to the improvement of the energy efficiency of the system is assessed. © 2011 IEEE.
