Real-Time IoT-based Power Generation Forecasting in Microgrid System

Abstract

A microgrid network is a small scale electrical grid network which is used to generate electrical power from various renewable energy resource such as wind energy and solar energy to provide reliable and consistent power to the local customer. Wind energy and Solar energy are both weather dependent renewable resource due to this intermitence power generation occur and unstable quality power generation cause voltage fluctuation between point of common coupling and load in microgrid system. Therefore in order to supply high quality sufficient, consistent, and stable power to critical loads it is mandatory to study on accurate power forcasting in microgrid system. Power outages  power in microgrid vary  the power consumption and affect electrical tariff and changes human behaviour in response to the changes in electrical tariff. The intermittence and uncertainty renewable energy may cause unstable quality power generation in microgrid. The paper presents the IoT based power forecating in microgrid systems. Moreover, real-time power quality characteristcks are also presented in the paper.
