Abstract

Nowadays, the promotion of renewable energy sources is a necessity. Technically, the increase of the renewable penetration in the power system (PS) is a challenge. One solution for this problem is the use of self-controlled microgrids (smartgrid, SG). In this work, the design of an algorithm to optimal manage the SG energy through the power inverter control in the SG is presented. In general, a SG consists of renewable energy sources, electrical loads and storage systems. In an isolated SG (no connected to the power system), a DC/AC (direct current / alternating current) converter (power inverter, PInv) is necessary to provide an alternating voltage to supply the loads. If the SG is connected to the PS, the PInv is used to inject the active power from the renewable energy sources.
