Abstract—Microgrids are changing the traditional approach of addressing energy demands in a
variety of communities and businesses. They open up new paths to a carbon-free, dependable,
and resilient electric system. DC Microgrids are becoming more prevalent as power electronic
converter technology advances. Today and in the future, higher fuel prices, deregulation, and
environmental constraints present more opportunities for the use of renewable energy sources
(RES) in power systems. A micro grid idea is necessary to integrate renewable energy sources
into the electrical system. As a result, this proposed system has a micro grid control mechanism
involving solar (PV), battery energy storage systems (BESS)and wind. To begin, voltage control
alternatives for an island micro grid are investigated using hierarchical control approaches.
Furthermore, the cost and electricity generated by renewable sources are calculated. Finally,
this study presents an energy management system for micro grid functioning. In grid-connected
mode, MATLAB and Arduino programming are used to find the lowest cost of electricity
generation and power availability. The simulation results indicate that the suggested solutions
are close to being accurate and efficient. The corresponding hardware model has been
implemented.
Index Terms— first environmental constraints, energy management, cost effective.
I. INTRODUCTION
Because of the growing concern about sustainability and energy consumption, governments, academics, and
investors are becoming more interested in renewable generating, resulting in an increase in the number of
renewable power systems integrated into present electrical grids. Renewable energy penetration, on the other
hand, is hampered by its variability and intermittency, prompting the development of Microgrids powered by
renewable power sources. These decentralised power systems, whether grid-connected or islanded, are thought
to be the most viable approach for boosting clean energy penetration in the future, and have gained increasing
relevance in recent years because to their widespread availability and low production costs. As the use of solar
power expands, so does the need to improve the quality of the energy produced. Renewable energy technologies
are becoming increasingly the most cost-effective way to build new capacity in an increasingly diverse world
and areas, and they are typically the most cost-effective way to build when there is new grid-connected capacity
and sufficient resources available. Costs have been driven down by the rapid adoption of renewable energy
generation technology and strong learning rates. Renewables are predicted to become extremely competitive
with fossil fuels in countries across the world as a result of this trend, and the most cost-effective option in a
growing number of markets. Renewables contributed for 72 percent of new capacity additions globally in 2019
indicating their productivity and competitiveness. Renewable energy's cost competitiveness has hit new heights,
with 56 percent of new utility-scale capacity costing less than the cheapest new coal option. Solar PV at utility
