Micro Grid Research Setup
Micro grid is an interconnection of local distributed energy sources like Solar, Wind and Battery, that can operate independently or in collaboration with universal grid. We offer a completely flexible microgrid setup with all three Energy Sources but we do not limit our users. They can explore more possibilities to get energy from any power source and our system will handle the rest of the things.
Specifications
Key Functionalities
Microgrid setup is fully user programmable. To quick start the user control design process, system is delivered with a full fleshed reference design. This reference design shows the complete operation of the setup. Its control design key functions are as follows.
- Operation of Grid Side converter
- Integration of Power source on to live Grid
- Grid PLL synchronization
- Modeling of Grid Side Filters
- Study and Modeling of MPPT algorithms for Renewable energy setup
- Auto-isolation of converters from the power under different faulty conditions.
- Provision for developing user defined control algorithms in Matlab-System Generator/HDL Coder environment.
System Potential Scope
The Proposed Configuration is quite open scalable and modular , therefore there are multi-dimensional provisions to deploy the entire configuration or the individual components.
The potential list of Experiments & Research scope as
- Reactive Power control on to the Live Grid and for local reactive power compensation
- THD measurement and Analysis
- Load demand management
- Modeling of Grid Side Filters
- Islanded operation Schemes and Islanding Detection
- Distributed energy source management
- Microgrid protection and control
- Microgrid Architecture Modeling for Control operations

Construction of new large power generating plants is not keeping pace with growing electricity demand in the Planet. At the same time, customer demand for even more highly reliable power is growing across the planet. Even if a sufficient number of new generating plants were built, the world’s aging transmission and distribution systems are unlikely to reliably deliver the increased power supply that is needed. Moreover, the cost of the upgrades required to enable today’s power system to deliver the level of reliability being demanded is far in excess of what society has so far been willing to bear.
