Abstract

This paper presents an urban DC microgrid aiming an optimal energy management and taking into account messages from the smart grid. Concerning ancillary services, a microgrid controller is proposed to interact with the smart grid; it provides voltage control, power balancing, load shedding, and takes into account the system imposed constraints. Experimental results prove the technical feasibility of the urban DC microgrid. The study limits concern mainly the forecasting uncertainties and the real-time optimization.
