Microgrid design consists of several aspects of the microgrid such as generation modelling, load modelling, storage, local network, sizing of the components and determination of the control strategy. Sizing of the system components is a very important step in the design of PV microgrid systems.
These consist of hospitals, schools and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) such as maize milling, welding loads that consume energy throughout the day. A study by showed that the availability of anchor customers reduces the Levelised Cost of Energy of the microgrid thus improving its affordability.
The main goal of this thesis is to develop a valid method to face the demand-response strategy in a microgrid able to minimize the costs and the 2 emissions.
The areas of study in microgrids have included distributed generation, microgrids benefits, applications of power electronics, economic issues, microgrid operation and control, microgrid clusters as well as protection and communications. A study on microgrid village design and its economic feasibility is presented in .
This thesis presents an investigation into sizing and energy management of microgrids. In the first part of the thesis, an analytical and economic sizing (AES) approach is developed to find the
