A micro-grid energy management strategy based on internet of things technology

Inhalt:
Various controllable units in micro-grid make it possible to provide ancillary services for power grid under grid connection mode. In this paper, a new energy management strategy using peak time rebate strategy for micro-grid is proposed to reduce the peak load of the grid. In this strategy, real-time data of controllable load, battery storage, diesel generator and other controllable units in the micro-grid is collected, transmitted and analyzed through the Internet of Things technology, and these units voluntarily participate in the demand response to maximize revenue and optimize energy management of the micro-grid. The results show that this strategy performs well in shaving peak load of the main grid as well as ensuring optimal operation of the micro-grid.
