p>The increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into power grid makes it significant to forecast solar irradiance for power system planning. With the advent of deep learning techniques, it is possible to forecast solar irradiance accurately for a longer time. In this paper, day-ahead solar irradiance is forecasted using encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence models with attention mechanism. This study formulates the problem as structured multivariate forecasting and comprehensive experiments are made with the data collected from National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB). Two error metrics are adopted to measure the errors of encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence model and compared with smart persistence (SP), back propagation neural network (BPNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), long short term memory (LSTM) and encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence LSTM with attention mechanism (Enc-Dec-LSTM). Compared with SP, BPNN and RNN, Enc-Dec-LSTM is more accurate and has reduced forecast error of 31.1%, 19.3% and 8.5% respectively for day-ahead solar irradiance forecast with 31.07% as forecast skill.</p

This work introduces a power management scheme based on the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) to manage the power flows in a small and local distributed generation system. The stand-alone Microgrid (MG) includes wind and PV generators as main power sources. The backup system includes a battery storage system (BSS) and a diesel generator (DG) combined with a supercapacitor (SC). The different energy sources are interconnected through the DC bus. The MG is modeled using Matlab Simulink Sim_Power System™. The SC is used to compensate for the shortage of power during the start-up of the DG and to compensate the limits on the charging/discharging current of the BSS. The power balance of the system is the chief objective of the proposed management scheme. Some performance indexes are evaluated: the frequency-deviation, the stability of the DC bus voltage, and the AC voltage total harmonic distortion. The performance of the planned scheme is assessed by two 24-hours simulation sets. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of FLC based management. Moreover, the effectiveness of the FLC approach is compared with the deterministic approach. FLC approach has saved 18.7% from the daily load over the deterministic approach. The study shows that the quality of the power signal in the case of FLC is better than the deterministic approach.

With a growing demand for more energy from subscribers, a traditional electric grid is unable to meet new challenges, in the remote areas remains the extension of the conventional electric network very hard to do make prohibitively expensive. Therefore, a new advanced generation of traditional electrical is inevitable and indispensable to move toward an efficient, economical, green, clean and self-correcting power system. The most well-known term used to define this next generation power system is Micro Grid (MG) based on renewable energy sources (RES). Since, the energy produced by RES are not constant at all times, a wide range of energy control techniques must be involved to provide a reliable power to consumers. To solve this problem in this paper we present a Fuzzy Logic Control of isolated Hybrid Systems (HRES) Including Renewable Energy in Micro-Grids to maintain a stability in voltage and frequency output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES combine a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as primary energy sources and an energy storage system (ESS) based on battery as a backup solution. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in decreasing the electricity bill of customer.

Renewable energy is being promoted amidst rising environmental concerns associated with fossil-fuel usage for power generation. The stock of such fuels is also limited and is fast depleting. Renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems present a clean alternative that has become cost-competitive with conventional thermal power generation systems. However, to counter the intermittent nature of solar power and ensure firm power supply, energy storage is essential. This paper presents a comparative analysis of power supply options based on two solar energy technologies - PV and concentrated solar power (CSP). Energy storage in the form of battery and thermal energy respectively has been included and different combinations of supply options, along with utility grid, have been analyzed in terms of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). The LCOE values for supplying a particular substation load in India have been compared and it was found that CSP with thermal energy storage emerged to be the economically viable option for supplying the load.

Solar energy is the most available energy among all the renewable energies, and the available range is almost 86000 TW. The global overall demand is 15TW, so only three hours production of electrical energy from solar is enough to compensate the power demand for a complete year.Clean and green environments are very much help for living things, non-renewable energy productions creates environ-mental pollution. Stand-alone system with renewable energy might be facing power failure and also effective utilizations also not possi-ble. Excess power should be export to grid and whenever the power shortage which is compensates by import power from grid, and then only effective utilization is possible. This paper deals with the investigations on transformer less inverter topologies and control strate-gies for grid connected PV system. The proposed work has high efficient single phase transformer less inverter which is controlled by PIC 16F877. This arrangement has an advantage of reliability and high level of efficiency.

This paper emphasizes the important role of solar tracker systems in Micro/Nano grid level applications. Basically mechanical and electrical type trackers are different in operation but they are similar in way of tracking of solar energy. Mechanical trackers (Dual axis solar tracking system) are widely used where space is less and quality is more and with fixed panels solar MPPT is adoptable. Hybrid loop control which controls the relative motion of solar tracking system (STS) during the day as per the position of sun. Hybrid loop control (HLC) is effective rather than open and closed loop systems due its mode of control using sun position algorithm and sensors based as per the requirement and environmental conditions. Most commonly used sensor based trackers takes feedback to adjust the panel position in such a way to track the sun, but the situation when the sky is cloudy creates problem in performance of the system. The estimated accuracy is very close to ±0.0003º but it depends on the irradiation coming from sun. So, Sun tracking system by using solar position algorithm with accuracy is required in mechanical solar trackers and maximum power point tracking in electrical trackers. In order improve the efficiency of whole solar tracking system, we incorporated both open and closed loops i.e., hybrid loop control which plays important role to improve the overall performance. In view of that we incorporated both open and closed loops i.e., hybrid loop control. Here we presented Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) which is electrical tracking system simulated in MATLAB environment and also presented mechanical type of tracking system It is facilitated by using Programmable logic controller (PLC) to access more input/output controls and simulation has been done in CODESYS software using ladder logic programming.
