AEL-FUSG-N Smart Grid (Usuário Final) - Aplicação de Net Metering

Through this application, the user can simulate the sale or consumption of generated energy. Thus, the user can perform different simulations such as electricity sale to the grid, Net Metering, and measuring the input and output of power flows generated by the Renewable Energy Simulator.

This application reflects the real operation of Net Metering, self-consumption, and electricity sale. For this reason, the application includes a synchronous generator that simulates a wind turbine. The wind turbine is controlled with a voltage regulator and a main motor (wind speed). With the voltage regulator, the user controls the generation voltage. The main motor is controlled through a frequency controller, so the user controls the generator speed (generation frequency) and the generated active power.

A synchronoscope is also included to synchronize the generator with the grid. This device allows the user to study different real operations, such as Net Metering, self-consumption, islanded mode operation, parallel operation, etc.

Finally, a network analyzer is included to take measurements at different important points. This module allows us to measure the energy demanded by the loads, energy supplied by the grid, energy supplied by the generator, and energy injected by the generator into the grid and loads. All these operations can be carried out in real time with the main module, the N-PFD (Power Flow Distribution Module).
