State flow approach for multiple power sources management

Abstract

The renewable energy sources are, and will be more and more, brought to function on the same site. However, they have not yet the subject of a real overall energy management strategy. As several systems rely on multiple energy sources, power distribution strategy must be implemented by matching the supply and the demand. The balance between production and consumption must be carefully conducted to ensure the availability of power. This paper advocates the use of the state flow approach as an alternative mean to manage the multi power source distribution for multiple supply systems by a load matching switch.
