Active and reactive power control of MicroGrid using wireless technology (ZigBee 2.4GHz)

This paper implements modelling of MicroGrid by different Distributed Generators (DG). A solution for data acquisition and control of MicroGrid using wireless technique (ZigBee @ 2.4 GHz), that man ages the reading of various electrical parameters in different DG´s and through-out the system. The first one describes the simulation and the dynamic performance of MicroGrids, while the second model is intended to replace the exciting present methods of gathering data. The approach to the solution for this problem is made easy with the use Poly-phase Measuring ICs and microcontroller and the ZigBee network. Here we studied the behaviour of a MicroGrid under different disturbance conditions like islanding from the main grid, load following, failure of one micro source and so forth. Also, we developed models for those micro sources for building a complete model that can describe the overall dynamic performance of the MicroGrid. The wireless communication media were fully utilized by introducing our own Jennie ZigBee protocols. A computer software i.e., Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed to run the overall process. The results obtained stand as a proof of concept for the credibility of implementing such a system.
