. . . Design a Smart Micro-grid (SMG) for a remote community. A remote community needs to upgrade its current aging electrical infrastructure and incorporate renewable energy to offset its use of diesel power generation. As a contractor (to be), you are asked to provide a preliminary design, Your design should be based on real world facts and availability of material and work force at the remote location Data of the remote community Number of residential houses 375. Normal household loads plus electric vehicle Public Electric Vehicle Charging station 3 Number of schools 5 Shops and business 21 Industrial plants: 1 fish processing and a small mining plant Miscellaneous loads Requirements: Electric Energy requirements, total and per different types of loads 1. Determine the following requirements a. Power generation plan b. Power transmission structure c. Distribution System structure d. Protection system e. Communication f. Control system requirements 2- Design the electrical system, from generation to distribution, include renewable energy sources such as: a. Solar Energy b. Wind energy c. Small Hydro, assuming there is a river close by the community with enough energy capacity that if harvested can provide up to 60% of the power needed for the community. Assume the river does not freeze during the winter. d. Diesel generators e. Energy storage (current and new technologies) 3- Control system design for protection, control and monitoring 4- Communication system design 5- Select SCADA for monitoring and protection 6- Consider grid operation and islanding 7- Reliability consideration and design 8- Security consideration 9. Redundancy consideration 10- Use ETAP to design 1 line diagram 11- Use ETAP simulate and demo the operation of this smart grid system
