Development of a Micro-Power Systems Model for the Study of Price-Dependent Management Method

Abstract

Features of electric energy as a commodity, due to its physical properties, determine the need to continuously maintain a balance of production and consumption. In the absence of special measures to stimulate consumers, the demand for electric energy does not depend or does not depend much on prices in the market, consumers do not reduce consumption when the price increases. Therefore, in this paper, a micro-power system model was developed using the Simscape Electrical library in the MATLAB software package, consisting of a diesel generator, a solar and wind power plant, an electric energy storage device, and a controlled load to test the automatic load control method. With the help of MATLAB Function blocks using the code of the price-dependent reduction consumption algorithm, various abnormal modes associated with climatic conditions for power supply systems and wind power plants are modeled.
