Modeling and Control for Hybrid Renewable Energy System in Smart Grid Scenario - A Case Study Part of Jordan Grid

Abstract

Low voltage grids face critical problems due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy generators and the increasing demand for electrical power in Jordan due to the high population growth. The deviation of the acceptable voltage range and grid equipment overloads are the two main problems that compromise the smooth operation of the distribution grid. In this paper, the decentralized smart grid control strategy has been implemented on the current grid located in Jordan at a low voltage level to emulate how the Smart Grid concept would work as near as to reality. The DIgSILENT Power Factory software and Python are used in this study to obtain the results. The simulation results show excellent performance in terms of loading mitigation and voltage stability by integrating decentralized smart grid control
