Abstract


This study focuses on optimizing the management of a rural village's microgrid, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the voltage profile. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to model the system's behaviour, taking into account various power sources such as wind, photovoltaics, and a diesel generator. Simulations were conducted for a day in July and a day in January, considering variations in weather conditions and demand. The results demonstrate the strategic optimization of the diesel generator to minimize its usage during planned outages while maintaining the voltage profile. Battery storage systems also played a crucial role in maintaining network stability. In conclusion, this study provides a robust methodology and results underscoring the significance of voltage profile maintenance in ensuring reliable energy supply in microgrids.
