GREEN CHARGE MANAGING RENEWABLE ENERGY IN SMART BUILDINGS WITH FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL
Abstract
Distributed generation (DG) uses many small onsite energy harvesting deployments at individual buildings to generate electricity. DG has the potential to make generation more efficient by reducing transmission and distribution losses, carbon emissions, and demand peaks. However, since renewable are intermittent and uncontrollable, buildings must still rely, in part, on the electric grid for power. This project proposes various ways to reduce electricity bills by exploring an alternative approach that combines marketbased electricity pricing models with on-site renewable(solar energy) and modest energy storage(in the form of batteries) by a system architecture called Green Charge. This project also presents the design and implementation of an energy management system with fuzzy control for a DC micro grid system. Modeling, analysis and control of distributed and energy storage device in simulink is proposed. To improve the life cycle
of the battery, fuzzy control manages the desired state of charge and controls the operating mode of the battery. It also monitors the values of all subsystems in the DC micro grid system.
