Smart microgrid
A microgrid integrating information and communication technologies for automated and optimized management of its energy resources, capable of operating in connected or islanded mode.
Islanding
Ability of a microgrid to disconnect from the main grid in case of failure or disturbance, to continue supplying its local loads autonomously and stably.
Microgrid controller
Centralized or decentralized control system that supervises and coordinates production, storage, and consumption resources within a microgrid to ensure its stability and efficiency.
Energy demand forecasting
Use of machine learning models to accurately predict future electricity consumption of a microgrid, enabling proactive planning of production and storage.
AI-based energy management
Application of artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize in real-time the distribution, storage, and consumption of energy within a microgrid, adapting to changing conditions.
Soft reconnection
Controlled process of reconnecting a microgrid to the main grid, synchronized in voltage and frequency to avoid electrical shocks and ensure a transition without service interruption.
Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
Set of decentralized energy production sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, and storage systems, integrated at the distribution level in a microgrid.
Voltage and frequency stability
Maintenance of electrical parameters within acceptable ranges, essential for proper equipment operation and microgrid security, often ensured by AI control algorithms.
Reinforcement Learning for Optimization
AI method where an agent learns an optimal energy management policy through trial and error, maximizing a reward that reflects the microgrid's economic and technical objectives.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
Technology enabling electric vehicles to not only consume electricity but also to inject it into the microgrid, acting as mobile storage units.
Microgrid Digital Twin
A dynamic virtual replica of a physical microgrid, used to simulate, test, and optimize energy management strategies before real-world deployment.
Energy Management System (EMS)
Centralized software and hardware that collect real-time data and apply control strategies to optimize energy flows and operational costs within the microgrid.
Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis
Statistical technique to assess how the uncertainty of input variables (e.g., solar forecast, demand) affects the performance and robustness of a microgrid's optimization strategies.
Phase-Frequency Synchronization
Technical prerequisite for reconnecting an islanded microgrid to the main grid, requiring perfect alignment of phase and frequency to prevent equipment damage.
Intelligent Load Shedding Strategy
An automated action plan that selectively disconnects non-critical loads during an energy shortage, based on predefined priorities to preserve power for essential services.
