Chapter Abstract:

Building up grid-connected Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES) is one of the major challenges of developing countries. This relies on the feasibility study and moreover on the optimization of the system built. This paper aims to provide a good framework for Energy Management Systems (EMS) strategies. It consists of PV/Battery/loads connected to the power grid. Hence, the Hybrid Micro Grid System (HMGS) obtained is subject to meteorological uncertainties due to shadowing of the solar panels. Two approaches have been applied in this work: heuristic method using State Machine Logic (State Flow Method) and Linear Programming. These methods have been implemented using MATLAB R2018a. A thorough discussion describes the results of the simulations using both methods for two meteorological conditions: clear and cloudy periods. Four scenarios are presented in accordance to the specifications above-mentioned. A real-time analysis is performed for a specific case study on a daily basis.
