Abstract


Energy management becomes essential when distributed energy sources such as solar, wind, and fuel cell are connected in a micro-grid. In this paper, using a combination of two powerful neural network tools and fuzzy logic, intelligentization, and adaptation of droop control along with voltage and current control as one of the most common methods of decentralized control is done. One of the essential features of this method is its fast performance and the need for telecommunication infrastructure. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive control system that enables proper operation in both upstream and island network modes for both AC and DC microgrids. The proposed method is simulated to evaluate its effectiveness. The proposed structure, by adapting the control system by ANFIS structure, can properly distribute power between distributed products in a brilliant way and without the need for operators and costly telecommunications infrastructure in the face of severe disturbances such as change. The state between the connection and the island or fault occurrence ensures the stability of both the AC and DC parts of the microgrid. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
