Microgrid, which enables the production and consumption of electricity to be done independently on a small scale, has been studied on one of the solutions of reinforcement for flexibility of electronic system. This study examined the application effect of new microgrid by applying hybrid battery in electric power storage device. We designed the system to highlight the advantage of each battery and complement the disadvantage by using hybrid system with Lithium-ion battery and interval Redox flow battery. It runs with lithium-ion battery during the initial startup while the Redox flow battery operates for a long time at the end of excessive period, and it enables a discharge of Lithium-ion and Redox flow battery at the same time when the load has a large output. We chose Maldives as a subject of this study for organizing and optimizing independent microgrid. Maldives is the country to accomplish 100% domestic electricity in South Asia, but the whole electric power is supplied through diesel generation imported fossil fuel. We organized and optimized microgrid for energy independence on Malahini island to solve Maldives energy cost problem and global energy environment matters. We analyzed the daily power supply and accumulated the power supply from September 18, 2018~February 11, 2019. The accumulated power supply was about 120.4 MWh and the daily power supply was about 800~1000 kWh. Based on the collected information, we divided the cases into three models which are only diesel generator, solar generator as well as diesel generator, and solar+ESS+diesel generator. We analyzed the amount of oil consumption compared to the cost of construction and power output. The result showed that solar+ESS+diesel generator was most economically feasible. As well, we obtained that our considering hybrid battery system reduced the fuel consumption for diesel power generation about 10~15%.

In this research, we consider a smart grid network of electricity with multiple consumers connected to a monopolistic provider. Each consumer can be informed the real time price changes through the smart meter and updates his consumption schedule to minimize the energy consumption expenditures by which the required power demand should be satisfied under the given real time pricing scheme. This real-time decision making problem has been recently studied through game-theoretic approach. The present paper contributes to the existing literature by incorporating storage appliance into the set of available household appliances which has somewhat distinctive functions compared to other types of appliances and would be regarded to play a significant role in energy consumption scheduling for the future smart grid. We propose a game-theoretic algorithm which could draw the optimal energy consumption scheduling for each household appliances including storage. Results on simulation data showed that the storage contributed to increase the efficiency of energy consumption pattern in the viewpoint of not only individual consumer but also whole system.

The renewable energy system and the real-time pricing can provide the significant economic advantage for end-user of residential house. However, according to recent studies, high initial cost of renewable energy system such as photovoltaic (PV) system and lack of suitable load control methods adjusting electric power consumption in response to time-varying price are regarded as the major obstruction for introduction of renewable energy system and real-time pricing in residental household. In this paper, we propose automated optimal load control strategy which aim to achieve not only minimizing the electricity cost but also the increase in the utilization rates of PV generation power of residential PV house in real-time pricing environment. Simulation results show that our proposed optimal load control strategy leads to significant reduction in the electricity costs and increase in the utilization rates of power generated by PV system in comparison with the conventional PV house. Therefore, the proposed optimal load control strategy can provide more economic benefit to end-user.

This study estimated the available renewable market potential based on Levelized Cost Of Electricity and then assessed the renewable derived energy self-sufficiency for the unit of local government in South Korea. To calculate energy self-sufficiency, 1 km gridded market renewable generation and local government scale of final energy consumption data were used based on the market costs and statistics for the recent three years. The results showed that the estimated renewable market potentials were 689 TWh (Install capacity 829 GW, 128 Mtoe), which can cover 120% of power consumption. 55% of municipalities can fully replace the existing energy consumption with renewable energy generation and the surplus generation can compensate for the rest area through electricity trade. However, it was confirmed that, currently, 47% of the local governments do not fully consider all renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro and geothermal in establishing 100% renewable energy. The results of this study suggest that energy planning is decentralized, and this will greatly contribute to the establishment of power planning of local governments and close the information gap between the central government, the local governments, and the public.

In the smart grid, it will be possible to communicate with the consumers for the purposes of monitoring and controlling their power consumption without disturbing their business or comfort. This will bring easier administration capabilities for the utilities. On the other hand, consumers will require more advanced home automation tools which can be implemented by using advanced sensor technologies. For instance, consumers may need to adapt their consumption according to the dynamically varying electricity prices which necessitates home automation tools. This paper tries to combine neural network and nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous variable (NARX) class for next week electric load forecasting. The suitability of the proposed approach is illustrated through an application to electric load consumption data. The suggested system provides a useful and suitable tool especially for the load forecasting.

The electric power industry have recently been building out Smart Grids, a two-way electricity grid that connects power consumers and producers to a network that enables one to respond quickly to any eventuality. The construction of a two-way electricity grid means that the power control process becomes unified, from what used to be separate processes that originate individually from the consumption phase and the production and supply phases. The role of power control that takes place within each section of the power system may be independent. However, this does not mean the independent control sections are operated individually, but are configured to meet a single target and purpose. Each control section possesses enough degree of independency to respond to eventualities that may occur within different stages of the power system, but at the same time, possesses unified system elements for the stability of the entire power system. From this perspective, Smart Grids are widely regarded as the most rational power industry operation plan. A variety of different control and communication systems can be applied for an effective deployment of Smart Grids. Recently, we have seen systems such as PMS(Power Management System) and PAS(Process Automation System) applied in the deployment of Smart Grids, which are developed from the techniques utilized in the industry. The PMS is attracting particular attention for its power operations management ability. In this study, we propose plans for improvement in the rational development of power system controls through case studies of live PMS operations.

본 논문에서는 각 가정이나 사무실에 설치된 전기, 수도, 가스 등 계량기의 사용량을 종합하여 검침원 호변방문 없이 외부에서 검침할 수 있도록 블루투스와 임베디드 시스템을 이용하여 원격 검침시스템을 구현하였다. 블루투스란 2.4GHz 대의 무선 주파수를 사용하는 근거리 무선 통신 기술로서 저전력 특성과 고속의 주파수 호핑 방식에 따른 높은 신뢰성 및 자체 에러 정정 기술을 지니고 있다. 이는 기존의 무선 모뎀보다 데이터 전송에 있어서 높은 신뢰성을 얻을 수 있게 해준다. 그리고 자체 네트워크망을 형성하므로 손쉽게 다른 기기와의 통신을 가능케 한다. 또한 무선 모뎀은 무선 단말기 소형화에 따른 제약을 받고 있으나 블루투스를 사용함으로써 저전력 특성과 더불어 휴대용으로의 기능에 부합시킬 수 있으며, 모듈의 원칩화가 진행됨에 따라 작은 크기로의 가능성이 제시된다. 또한 임베디드 시스템의 이동성을 이용하여 검침원이 외부에서 이동을 하면서 검침이 가능하며 시스템을 저전력의 ARM 프로세서를 이용함으로서 오랜 시간 장비의 효율적 사용이 가능 할 것이다.

다공성 구조의 장석과 주택 시방기준으로 제작된 바닥 축열층 모르타르의 열적 특성과 소비전력을 비교하였다. 실험을 위해 온수관이 설치된 2개의 실대형 모형을 제작하였다. 자외선 열화상 온도와 온도센서를 이용하여 가열과 냉각과정에서 축열층의 온도변화를 모니터링하였다. 시험동의 축열층은 $20-30^{\circ}C$ 구간의 온도 범위의 가열조건에서 $2-3.5^{\circ}C$ 높은 온도를 보였고 목표 온도에 도달하는 시간이 단축되었다. 온수관에서 멀어질수록 $4-4.8^{\circ}C$ 이상의 차이를 보였고 이는 장석 기반의 모르타르 축열층이 열적 평형에 빨리 도달하는 것을 지시한다. 가열 온도 $30^{\circ}C$를 기준으로 산정한 소비전력은 2.2배 차이를 보였고 단계별 온도 상승에서 소비전력은 66% 절감되었다. 냉각에서 시험동의 표면온도는 지속해서 $2^{\circ}C$ 이상 높았고 축열로 인해 보일러의 재가동 시간이 연장되는 것을 고려하면 에너지 효율은 더 증가할 것이다.
