Real-Time Simulation-Based Energy Management of Airport Microgrid for Electric Aircraft

Future airport dc microgrid system for electric aircraft with energy management strategies and the power control method was put forward in this paper, in which the upper control layer with calculated robust optimization of energy management strategy for the optimal scheduling decisions and the lower control layer for transient power control for power load is complimented. The optimal power scheduling, minimization of Dc micro grid economic operation and harmful gas emissions targets can be achieved. The power control layer provides sufficient voltage and power response speed for the airport electrical load. The proposed control strategy is applicable to the DC microgrid of electric aircraft airport which contains photovoltaic and other renewable energy generation systems and energy storage systems and can be interacted with the public power grid. Based on the Typhoon HIL 604 real-time simulator, the real-time microgrid simulation model of airport microgrid including photovoltaic, fuel cell, electric energy storage and other renewable energy units and airport power load was developed. RT-LAB 5700 platform was used to realize the microgrid power controller and energy management optimization strategy solution. Finally the real-time simulation platform of airport microgrid for electric aircraft was constructed to realize the verification and evaluation of the proposed energy management strategy.
