Modeling and control of building-integrated microgrids for optimal
An overview of microgrid control and optimization is given in terms of objectives, constraints, and optimization methods. Microgrid modeling is a complex task due to the number,
At its core, a microgrid is composed of loads, distributed energy resources (DERs), a control system, and a point of common coupling (PCC) with the main energy grid. A microgrid's loads are the components which consume electricity.
An overview of microgrid control and optimization is given in terms of objectives, constraints, and optimization methods. Microgrid modeling is a complex task due to the number, variety, and complexity of microgrid components, which can include building loads, distributed energy resources, and energy storage systems.
In Section 3.1 different control structures are reviewed, along with their advantages and disadvantages. The second layer of microgrid control is the control strategy. There are four main control strategies that appear in literature: rule-based control (RBC), optimal control, agent-based modeling (ABM), and model predictive control (MPC).
The architecture of an MG depends on a number of factors such as availability of renewable resources, geographical location of site, load demand etc. For effective and efficient operation, unlike the main grid, the Microgrid (MG) needs to employ special and proper control strategies.
