Abstract
The main objective of this project is the introduction of innovative solutions to the improvement of energy efficiency in industrial environments by the use of intelligent electrical microgrids with high penetration of PV technology. The expected results of the proposal are:
1) A systematic approach that facilitate the design of industrial microgrids including the dimensioning of the main power components and the communication and metering infrastructures.
2) A high performance energy management system that guarantees zero net energy industries with high penetration of PV technologies and energy storage systems.
3) A multimaster control scheme to increase reliability in autonomous industrial microgrids.
4) Several control algorithms to improve the power quality (amplitude deviation, voltage imbalance, harmonics) in industrial microgrids.
The theoretical results will be tested and validated experimentally in the microgrid laboratory of INESCTEC Porto, one of the partness of the INDuGRID project.
