Impact of smart micro grid installation - Modeling of UOIT micro grid
FY 2016-17
Summary
The UOIT micro grid project is a new project recently funded by the Ministry of Energy (MOE) under itsOntario Smart Grid Fund. It is one of the first such installations in Ontario and Canada. MOE funded thisproject primarily because it sees potential in this pioneering technology in the smart grid of the future andwishes to promote activity within Canadian industry in this field. This leading edge project will assist indeveloping new expertise, new products and promote the efficient and controlled utilization of micro gridenergy systems which are expected to be an integral part of the future smart grid.The key installation features that need to be verified are the seamless transition of the micro grid system toon-grid and off-grid operation. This is not a trivial task and will require a thorough understanding of the steadystate and dynamic behavior of the various elements of the micro grid. The use of innovative devices such assynchro-phasors, static transfer switches and static fault current limiters is anticipated.In this phase of the project, a detailed model of the micro grid components, such as the PV installation andstorage battery with their respective converters, will be developed in Matlab/Simulink for later implementationin a real time simulation environment.
