Abstract

Managing the current high penetration of renewable energy sources globally poses a significant challenge due to the distributed and diverse nature of generation components. To maximize real-time power generation, these resources need to perform optimally. Digital twin technology offers a comprehensive framework for managerial support by replicating grid features in a digital environment. This research creates a digital twin of the microgrid to optimize power generation, focusing on computational efficiency and self-healing control. The framework is tested in a laboratory microgrid, with modeling performed using a polynomial regression algorithm. Optimization is achieved through a gradient descent algorithm, and the self-healing model is implemented using a logistic regression algorithm. Real-time data extracted from the microgrid drives this process. The results can be utilized for predictive analysis before deploying a microgrid or to optimize generation in existing systems using the digital twin model. Even though the research focuses on a single microgrid unit, it introduces a framework proposal for extensively distributed microgrids integrating multiple renewable energy sources.
