Microgrid Energy-Management Hardware-in-the-Loop Model
Hybrid solar, wind, and battery storage microgrid controller managing islanded and grid-tied operation.
Project Overview
Simulates localized microgrid energy dispatch. Coordinates power flow between renewable sources, energy storage systems, and variable electrical loads to maintain AC bus voltage and frequency stability. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for Microgrid Energy-Management Hardware-in-the-Loop Model.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
