Optimal sizing of an isolated microgrid with electric vehicles

A microgrid system can be operated as either grid-connected or isolated, depending on the local conditions. In rural areas, microgrid systems cannot be connected to the main grid, hereby an isolated microgrid system is suitable for them. The optimal sizing of distributed energy sources is a critical issue during system design.

Increasing the Penetration of Distributed Wind in an Isolated Microgrid

Wind availability in Alaska is the highest in the United States. Small and dispersed communities can easily satisfy their demand based on wind power. However, this renewable resource is challenging to handle: wind speed can ramp up or down a 50% in just a few seconds, which translates to abrupt power generation swings. The intermittency and variability of distributed

The two generators are feeding static loads represented by resistive loads and dynamic loads represented by induction motors.

A New Toolkit for Energy Planning for Isolated Microgrids

An IEEE working group, the SESDC Working Group, was established to investigate the feasibility of implementing isolated microgrids as solutions in these communities. However, it has been identified that a proper software tool for microgrid planning is needed to accurately analyze the optimal microgrid configuration. Thus, a user-friendly and
