We take into consideration a grid associated micro-grid which contains two systems each contains solar Photo Voltaic (PV) system, wind system, a local consumer, and a battery. Foremost we compute the load trends and solar and wind power produced in the two solar units. Following which we go on to implement grid robustness management using Multi Agent System based distributed energy management of micro-grid with smart grid structure. We develop a simulation model in Java Agent Development Environment (JADE) for dynamic model which takes into account the closely knit nature of solar power, impermanence of load, dynamic appraising of grid and variation of critical loads and choose the best possible action every hour to stabilize and optimize the micro-grid inspite of certain failures. Furthermore, MAS increases the functional efficiency and thereby maximize the power production of solar micro-grid and curtails the operational cost to minimum. Thus MAS in micro-grid leads to optimization of both capital and environmental resources. Simulated working of solar generators and loads are analysed by conducting simulations for the various agent motives. Simulation studies shows the balancing of micro- grid during the grid robustness.","PeriodicalId":145373,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Power and Embedded Drive Control (ICPEDC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122175881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) because of its unique capability to control both real and reactive power has become popular device for maintaining and controlling the power system parameters. This is done by controlling voltage, line reactance and phase angle. It also facilitates loading transmission lines near their thermal limits. These abilities of UPFC make it a unique device for providing flexibility to power system operators. The application of proposed control scheme for investigating the role of UPFC in power transmission lines is studied by using Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation Technique. To explain the control and conditioning of power (both active and reactive), simulation of the system is carried out in MATLAB simulative environment. The system is studied under various steady and transient states, at various load demands. The dynamic controllability of the demand variation is also studied in the simulation environment.","PeriodicalId":145373,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Power and Embedded Drive Control (ICPEDC)","volume":"2 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123663223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
