Abstract
En 中文
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are gaining traction in microgrid operation due to their real-time deployment, reliable and robust operation, and fast response, even in harsh environments. Recognizing the critical need for robust and reconfigurable microgrid control and operation, this research proposes a hardware test-bench prototype using the Reconfigurable Allen-Bradley-Micro820/2080-LC20-20QBB PLC to demonstrate control algorithms aiming for efficient control, energy management, and resilient microgrid automation. The design and construction of a prototype controller test bench, along with the PLC configuration, wiring diagrams, and control logic, constitute the significant contributions of this research. The proposed controller test bench's performance is evaluated through similar condition simulations in the presence of disturbances induced by the reduced contributions of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. The results illustrate the effectiveness of the developed control algorithm implemented in the proposed controller, ensuring the stable operation of the microgrid. Consequently, this work advances the simulation-based validation of microgrid control algorithms and provides insights into the practical application of a PLC-based hardware test bench under various environmental conditions.
