Abstract :
[en] This paper proposes an energy management strategy (EMS) for a hybrid stand-alone plant destined to supply controllable loads. The plant is composed of photovoltaic panels (PV), a wind turbine, a diesel generator, and a battery bank. The set of the power sources supplies controllable electrical loads. The proposed EMS aims to ensure the power supply of the loads by providing the required electrical power. Moreover, the EMS ensures the maximum use of the power generated by the renewable sources and therefore minimizes the use of the genset, and it ensures that the batteries bank operates into the prefixed values of state of charge to ensure their safe operation. The EMS provides the switching control of the switches that link the plant components and decides on the loads' operation. The simulation of the system using measured climatic data of Mostoles (Madrid, Spain) shows that the proposed EMS fulfills the designed objectives.
