2021 JAN 27 (NewsRx) By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Middle East Daily Current study results on Engineering have been published. According to news reporting originating in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “In this paper, an energy management system, based on different power balance modes and dynamic grid power flow, is proposed to operate a DC-link microgrid based on a solar photovoltaic generator and battery storage, with the option to request variable power from the grid to meet the load demand. The energy management provides the required references, for each mode, based on the solar source availability, the battery status, the power losses, and the grid billing rate.”
