Overview
Full-day microgrid simulation with diesel generation, PV, wind, residential load, industrial load, and EV fleet participation for frequency regulation.
This example shows a 24-hour vehicle-to-grid scenario in which EVs help regulate microgrid frequency over the course of a day. It ties together electrification, distributed energy, and long-timescale system behavior.
The microgrid includes a diesel generator, PV farm, wind farm, residential load, an industrial inductive load, and a V2G system representing 100 EVs. The model uses phasor simulation to study a full-day scenario efficiently.
This model is excellent for seeding smart-grid and V2G discussions. It connects storage flexibility, mobility, and community-level power-system behavior in a way that is easy to understand and highly relevant.
Key Features
- Full-day energy and frequency behavior
- Five EV user profiles
- Renewable variability and load-profile changes
- Frequency events driven by motor startup, shading, and wind-farm trip
- Fast long-duration simulation enabled by phasor mode
Getting Started
- Run the 24-hour simulation.
- Observe generation and consumption profiles over the day.
- Track how EV participation supports frequency during disturbance events.
- Compare the renewable contribution with diesel balancing behavior.
