Abstract:

Numerous businesses are investigating the industrial and commercial consumer side application of distributed new energy against the backdrop of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.” In this project, a smart microgrid with distributed new energies on the industrial and commercial user side has been built, which incorporates many components, including photovoltaics, vanadium energy storage systems, and industrial loads. The microgrid has been active for 5 years, and several microgrid operational modes have been confirmed, such as peak shaving, demand-side capacity management, demand response, etc. Under perfect circumstances, the yearly income of independent operation will generate ¥248810 (peak shaving), ¥264000 (demand-side capacity management), and ¥328800 (demand response), respectively. Also, a multimode coordinated operation technique has been investigated. Operational data figures show that the smart microgrid built using distributed new energy and energy storage systems achieved a 100% green energy supply on the industrial and commercial user side while being controlled by the primary control system, thereby achieving carbon neutrality targets. Additionally, the annual income of the microgrid can generate up to ¥522,886, which is significantly more than the income of conventional single operation modes. It contributes to the application and promotion of distributed new energy smart microgrids in several ways by serving as a demonstration.

Key words: distributed new energy, smart microgrid, carbon neutrality
