Micro-Grid Monitoring and Control Equipment

Cheryl Limas, Daniel Rendon, Lateef TaiwoSupervised by Dr. David A. Wetz and Greg Turner,

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.

UTA Micro-Grid Layouts

Micro-Grid 3

Renewable Energy

DC Bus

Charge Controller

Energy Storage

Inverter AC Bus Load

Micro-Grid 2 & 3

Renewable Energy Resources

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

Solar Panels•Solar Power•Wind Power•Hydro Power•Geothermal Power•Biomass Power

Charge Controllers

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

Batteries and DC Bus

Power Rating:• 100 Amp Hours at 20 Hour

Rate• 1150 Cold Cramping Amps

• Keeps DC Bus Stable

Hall Effect Current Sensors

• Measures current, displays voltage

• Linear Relationship• Current is proportional to the

voltage reading

LabVIEW

• Runs without interruption• Reliability

Conclusion

• Future Applications– Turn our micro-grid into smart grid
