A new control algorithm for energy conservation from main grid during generation intermittence in the micro grids using A.C electric springs

The work presented in this paper addresses the problem of main grid dependability in micro grids using Electric springs. The micro grids which have more penetration of renewable sources are bound to depend on main grids during generation intermittence of the micro sources. In order to reduce the dependability of micro grids on main grid an efficient energy management algorithm has been presented. The proposed algorithm schedules the non-critical loads present in the micro grid using A.C Electric springs and the simulation studies are performed in MATLAB. The reduction in energy consumption from the main grid is achieved by making the non-critical loads consume lesser power during generation intermittence in the micro grid.
