Abstract

This study investigated a grid-connected smart microgrid (MG) system integrating solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and a battery energy storage system (BESS) as distributed energy resources (DERs) to locally serve residential loads. The load-shifting demand-side management (DSM) technique was employed to effectively manage the load appliances. The proposed load-shifting algorithm relies on minimum price incentives to allow customers to allocate their load appliances economically during minimum price periods. The algorithm considers the waiting times and minimum tariff periods for appliances, calculates precise operating durations for each appliance, and prioritizes powering the appliances from the MG first, followed by the main grid. The system comprises two non-shiftable and three shiftable loads. When the MG power is insufficient to activate all shiftable loads, the system transfers the remaining unsupplied shiftable appliances to periods with low-priced energy. The Energy Internet concept is adopted to manage energy and monitor usage when a customer is unable to check the accuracy of their energy meter by supervising the system’s features on-site. The proposed comprehensive system enables load management, continuous monitoring, customer awareness, and energy cost saving. Six cases were studied, both numerically and experimentally, with varying MG power generation and load pre-scheduling periods, with and without DSM application. In all adopted cases, the implemented system save energy costs by at least 50%.
