Presentation Transcript

  1. Micro-Grid Monitoring and Control Equipment Cheryl Limas, Daniel Rendon, LateefTaiwo Supervised by Dr. David A. Wetz and Greg Turner,

  2. Introduction • What is a Micro-Grid • Go over the monitoring and control equipment used in the project. • Explain how they interact with each other and how information is processed.

  3. UTA Micro-Grid Layouts

  4. Micro-Grid 3 Renewable Energy Charge Controller Load Inverter AC Bus DC Bus Energy Storage Micro-Grid 2 & 3

  5. Renewable Energy Resources • Solar Power • Wind Power • Hydro Power • Geothermal Power • Biomass Power Solar Panels Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

  6. Charge Controllers Limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries. They prevent overcharging and may prevent overvoltage.

  7. Batteries and DC Bus Power Rating: • 100 Amp Hours at 20 Hour Rate • 1150 Cold Cramping Amps • Keeps DC Bus Stable

  8. Hall Effect Current Sensors • Measures current, displays voltage • Linear Relationship • Current is proportional to the voltage reading

  9. LabVIEW • Runs without interruption • Reliability

  10. Conclusion • Future Applications • Turn our micro-grid into smart grid • Questions?
