Figure 1 shows the proposed microgrid. The system meets the energy demand of a group of houses for a residential unit. Furthermore, the paper presents analyses of the total NPC, the energy generation contribution of the various elements, CO 2 emissions, and the energy flow of the designed microgrid. This is based on the case study results.
Apart from the grid connected ones, microgrids are becoming an alternative means for electrifying rural communities where the extension of the power grid are not possible and the transport of the fuels is costly and difficult [6, 7].
Situations of dump energy occur in the stand-alone systems. Integrating the microgrid to the distribution grid is the best way to overcome this situation. LEP of an energy system is defined as the ratio of the energy that is wasted in the system to the total energy demand of the system annually.
The data indicates that the PV contributes 48% of the microgrid's total energy production, which is a significant contribution. The WT, BESU, and DG are other elements of power generation. The WT accounts for around 27% of the total energy generated, while the BESU and DG contribute 22% and 3%, respectively.
A solar microgrid is an integrated network of solar panels that capture, store and distribute solar energy to a local area. Installing one will allow your community to become more energy-independent and environmentally friendly by harnessing solar power rather than relying on traditionally produced energy.
Here, we take the local electricity trading between microgrids as an example to illustrate the operation mechanism of the electricity blockchain. Firstly, the microgrid manager will solve the Nash bargaining problem of local electricity trading to obtain the local electricity payments for microgrids.
