Super Twisting Fractional Order Energy Management Control for a Smart University System Integrated DC Micro-Grid

This paper designs an intelligent energy management control for a stand alone smart DC- micro-grid using super twisting fractional order method. Based on mathematical model of the micro-grid, controllers are derived for the source side converters such as photovoltaic (PV),wind, AC grid and battery management system, and load side converters. Based on the available measured input and consumed output power, an intelligent energy management algorithm decides the appropriate mode of operation for the source and load side converters controller. All DC loads connected to the micro-grid are treated as essential loads and no load shedding can be allowed by the energy management unit. The energy management unit prioritizes the renewable energy sources (PV and wind) in order to make the micro-grid as cost effective. The performance of the proposed control scheme is compared with the integer order controller and the system is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment for different test cases.
