Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to propose a new theoretical and mathematical model that describes the energy flow over a microgrid, à small portion of a power grid. Indeed, there is similarity between a transmission channel made up of several transmitters/receivers and the microgrid involving various energy sources/consumers. This has been the premise which prompt us to conduct this study and develop a new model of the microgrid. The propounded model is not to contest or to interrogate electromechanical results about the flow of electricity. It rather brings another way of seeing the energy flow. Moreover, this framework bears in mind intermittent energy sources. The inclusion of renewable energy sources in the conventional power grid has to be taken into account in order to come up with a model that is faithful to the current state of the grid. On the basis of a MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) channel, the proposed architecture consists of a Single Virtual Power Source (SVPS)
serving its energy at several energy consumption points. Its energy flow’s shape is a Gaussian as it will be demonstrated throughout this paper.
