Description
Summary:Smart grid is a backbone for power supply system. Thus, an eco-friendly smart microgrid is developed which able to benefit the community. Smart microgrid increase integration of usage of renewable energy where it leans towards greener energy and healthier environment. The most common renewable energy source used in this smart microgrid is solar but since it is weather dependent sources, it will not be used during rainy weather. Therefore, rainwater harvesting system is implemented in this project by using micro turbine hydro-generator. A decision making algorithm is developed in this system using C++ so that it can effectively decide selected optimum power supply to the smart microgrid. Users also able to access their load usage data and power supplied data from application in their smartphones. This is by applying Internet of Things (IoT) communication where it is leading to a new level of lifestyle and environment. In this paper, a total eco-friendly condition is achieved in condition 1: hot weather at case 2: 2pm and condition 2: rainy weather at case 2: 2pm.
