Abstract

As an environmentally friendly method of distributing energy production, the integration of photovoltaic systems into micro grids has drawn in significant focus on. Our goal in doing is to examine features regarding micro grid that is linked to the power grid, with a focus on photovoltaic energy management in particular. Finding the optimal micro grid capacity for the solar system seeks to increase energy efficiency, decrease dependence on main grid, and promote an utilization of green power. The outlined optimization approach evaluates the micro grid’s dynamic interactions using state-of-the-art modelling and simulation tools. These components include photovoltaic panels, energy storage systems, alongside the main grid. The refinement method takes into account crucial factors including patterns of load demand, costs of the grid electricity, and variations in solar irradiation. Finding a happy medium between increasing the amount of power generated by renewable sources and decreasing overall energy costs is the objective. That study takes a multi-scenario approach to determining how various micro grid sizes affect overall system efficiency. Using scenario-based simulations and techno-economic criteria, the appropriate size of the photovoltaic system was determined. Factors like payback time, ROI, and system reliability are taken into account here. The study’s findings provide light on grid-connected micro grids, particularly in regards to photovoltaic energy management, which is crucial for their planning and implementation. In order to make educated decisions towards more robust and ecologically friendly power systems, stakeholders, lawmakers, and decision-makers can use the optimal micro grid size as a benchmark for future renewable power projects. This paper reviews the relevant literature and proposes a division and performance strategy based on its findings. By classifying energy management into three groups according to grid connection, configuration, and control method, this article provides a description of the performance, application, advantages, and disadvantages of algorithms that may be used as a reference for selecting an appropriate algorithm. Also included is a comparison table for the control strategies that were used to regulate a micro grid system that is connected to the grid.
