Reconfiguration of Micro-grid for Future Forecasting to Maintain High Reliability

The grid unbalance is a common phenomenon in the northern region of India. To maintain frequency is very difficult where the population is around 1.3 billion. To maintain grid frequency, demand and supply should be matched. Micro-grid plays a major role in demand and supply equalization. Micro-grid is a feasible solution for remote location where electrification is very costly. To develop remote location of India like Ladakh, Bhuj etc. micro-grid provides better solution to increase the economy of country. In micro-grid, input cost is totally depending on the availability of region natural resources. Solar is the main availability in countries like India, which can be supported by bio-mass, wind, bio-gas, storage system, etc. to prepare hybrid micro-grid for 24 h. reliability. After electricity act amendment of new rule is implemented, which is ABT, (availability-based tariff) in which penalty and reward are applicable. To implement ABT, reconfiguration of micro-grid is required. Reconfiguration is the adoption of new technology of previous electrical models where implementing of ring-main unit, smart metering, feeder segregation and forecasting of the load is done. ABT (availability-based tariff) gives better reliability to a system, which can be utilized with micro-grid solution. The paper identifies future updated scenarios of micro-grid as per the latest regulation of India.
