Study and analysis for the design of Smart Grids

Abstract

This thesis investigates the integration of renewable energy sources within microgrid systems, addressing critical challenges in energy management, techno-economic analysis, and real-world implementation. As nations strive for sustainable and resilient energy solutions, microgrids present a transformative opportunity to enhance energy security and reduce carbon footprints. The research develops a comprehensive modeling framework that combines photovoltaic, wind, and energy storage systems, enabling a deeper understanding of their synergies and operational dynamics. Additionally, a detailed techno-economic analysis is conducted to evaluate lifecycle costs and economic viability, informing stakeholders of cost-effective configurations. The study also explores innovative energy management techniques, particularly through fuzzy logic and adaptive strategies, to optimize energy dispatch and ensure system reliability. Furthermore, the research validates the proposed methodologies through simulations and real-world case studies, bridging theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on sustainable energy systems and provide a roadmap for future research and policy development.
