Abstract(s)
This paper describes the on-going implementation of a microgrid project with renewable distributed generation under
the context of an initiative with demonstration purposes in an university campus. In the actual context of the electrical
energy demand increase and limited conventional resources, along with the consciousness of the climate changes and the
need to invest in clean energies, microgrids allows the integration of dispersed energy sources, mainly renewable, which
make them cost effective, providing a viable alternative to centralized production, transmission and distribution system for
remote community areas. The design concept of the microgrid and a description of the base equipment and energy sources
already integrated are presented. From the on-going projects to be integrated on the microgrid, it is presented the Grid-to-
Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Grid concept, which will provide a second energy storage element using the battery of an electric
vehicle. To accomplish this objective, a bi-directional power converter is being developed and simulation results of its
power structure and control are presented.
