 Introduction

In this age of technology, energy management and clean energy is one of main
concerns of human beings.
We pollute the mother nature at the rate of 51 billion ton of Green house gases per
annum.
Engineers are facing the problem of “Load Sharing”.
We cannot transmit power to remote areas easily.
Microgrid is set of sources that can operate independently from conventional power
generation and used in remote areas to manage load efficiently.

 Literature Review

Sources are connected to primary control that is converter.

Converter used to step down/up the source voltage and set its value according to the
requirement.

DC bus is connected to the output of converter.

Feedback signal is sent from DC bus to PID controller that is secondary control.
PID controller is used to set the output values with respect to error.

 Objectives

 To achieve the Load Sharing we interconnected the whole microgrid using

centralized control

 To regulate the Voltage & Current

 To increase the Efficiency of the whole system we manages the sources intelligently
 To help and cope with the energy crisis globally
 To achieving the “United Nations Sustainable Development Goals” (Goals 7, 9
&13)

6
 Applications

 Use to energize the remote areas

 Help manage power supply and load

 System becomes more stable

 Improve the reliability and dynamic response of the system
