Fuzzy Logic and HOMER: Innovations in Distributed Generation for System Stability and Performance

The HOMER software is described in this article to provide the efficient distributed generation configurations. This is based on nature of the area and its renewable energy availability. This software is used to develop and assess alternatives for stand-alone and grid-connected power distributed generation applications, both technically and financially. It enables the consideration of a huge range of technological alternatives. It’s a powerful tool for simulating both the traditional and sustainable energy techniques. Furthermore, in distributed generation electric networks, a fuzzy-based strategy is suggested to choose the suitable power source and ascribe it to the appropriate load. Fuzzy Logic Control is an effective approach to resolve complex problems using algebraic calculations Moreover, sustainable energy distributed generation has grown rapidly as large central power plants have become financially unviable because of substantial decreases in fossil fuels, rising fuel costs, global energy crunch and the emergence of environment degradation problems. Nevertheless, the integration of distributed power generation into conventional electric power networks has influence on their consistency, safeness, and power feature. As a result, inoculation of distributed power generation necessitates the use of adequate controllers to preserve system stability and performance.
