Microprocessor system for controlling the operation of renewable energy resources

Abstract

This paper describes the management system to control, monitor and supervisory of renewable energy resources, energy storages and loads. System can also be implemented as management controller for local grid, which may cooperates with distribution networks. The system uses real-time Ethernet technology, which combined with a fast signal processor allows to perform a complex analysis of the network and to control local loads and distributed energy resources. Extensive communication protocols and low cycle time provide technical mean to control whole microgrid, Virtual Power Plant and communicate with distribution network operators.
