Configuração dinâmica de geradores distribuídos de energia utilizando técnicas de modelagem e simulação

Abstract

Distributed power generation has meaningly complemented the centralized production. In this context, microgrids are characterized as electric power distribution networks of medium or low voltage which can operate in isolated or connected way with the central distribution system, being directly attended by distributed generation units, aiming to fill the load demand by adapting to the needs of generation. However, the production on microgrids is non-cooperative, in other words, each generator explores his energetic potential by seeing just his local context. In this way, he feeds themicrogrid without consider aspects as the availability of the energetic locals resources. The control is given just by the scope of each generator, limiting the exploitation of the production dynamics in front of variability situations. This work proposes an alternative for the dynamic configuration of distributed power generators using Petri Nets. The approach consists of modeling the behavior of generators and microgrids on high level, adjusting these models with parameters from the real environment and simulating them under variable conditions, so that the power generation profile can be estimated for the scenario of each generator in particular and then be applied to the microgrid model.
