An FPGA based embedded sytems for online monitoring and power management in a standalone micro-grid
(wiley, 2022) Dastagiri Reddy, B.D.; Venkatraman, K.; Selvan, M.P.; Sridharan, S.
The amalgamation of numerous renewable sources to fulfill the energy demands of the consumers in distant areas with better reliability is a significant challenge because of unpredictable and fluctuating nature of renewable sources. Hence, An effective micro-grid control is required to accomplish the power balance among the load demand and generated power. In this work, A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based embedded system for online monitoring and power management is proposed for a standalone micro-grid. The developed standalone micro-grid consists of wind energy and solar energy as renewable sources, Diesel generator as a backup supply, And battery bank as storage unit. An algorithm is developed using two Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) controllers namely source FPGA controller and load FPGA controller implemented as an embedded system connected through an Ethernet interface with separate source control and load control features. The load FPGA controller provides load management (connecting/ disconnecting non-critical loads) based on the available power and load demand. The source FPGA controller provides source management by controlling the renewable energy sources and dump load. Finally, To monitor the electrical parameters and statuses of various energy sources (wind and solar), Loads (critical and noncritical loads) and storage unit (battery bank) an online monitoring system is developed without the need of a dedicated personal computer. This work has been developed in such a way that it is replicable on the large scale in the field. © 2022 Scrivener Publishing LLC. All rights reserved.
Design and Development of an Emulator for Distribution Automation Using DCS
(2018) Hanumantha, Rao, B.; Chandan, Kumar, B.; Manjunatha, Sharma, K.; Selvan, M.P.
The distribution system in the power system network plays vibrant role in the delivery of electrical energy to the consumers. Automation in the field of distribution system empowers more flexible control for the utilities, which is effectively used to enhance the efficiency, power quality and reliability of electrical supply services. Presently, the advanced developments in the information and communication technologies and intelligent electronic devices make the distribution network operations more resilient, efficient, reliable and cost effective. This paper presents brief overview about the design and development of distribution system automation. This involves design of distribution substation model and provision of automation for it. Automation involves isolation of fault and restoration of the service, when a fault occurs in any one of the feeder. Load transfer between the feeders, between incomer and load scheduling, display of energy consumption of each feeder are a few functions of automation. � 2018 IEEE.
