| Title | Developing a Virtual Microgrid Model for Power Flow Analysis Using LabVIEW (Phase 2) |
| Summary | The microgrid in the Clean Energy Research Lab (S2-B7C-05) is a three-phase, 50 Hz, 400V distribution system connected to various equipment. Over time, new equipment has been added while older equipment has been removed, leading to unpredictability in the microgrid’s behavior. Hence, assessing these changes is essential to maintain the performance and stability of the microgrid. This project aims to develop a virtual model of the microgrid to analyze power flow and evaluate how different configurations affect the overall system. In the previous phase, a LabVIEW program was developed for Power Flow Analysis in a balanced three-phase system, along with simulation models for connected equipment, including a synchronous generator, solar PV system, capacitor bank, and flywheel energy storage system. Next, the Power Flow Analysis algorithm will be extended to simulate an unbalanced system for a more realistic representation. Additional simulation models, including a wind turbine, battery storage system, power amplifier, and other remaining equipment, will also be developed in LabVIEW. Equipment that is not physically available in the lab may also be considered for simulation. This is to create a simulation environment that allows testing and analyzing the interactions between different equipment within the microgrid. Students specializing in power engineering with LabVIEW knowledge are encouraged to apply. |
