Abstract: Nowadays, consumption of energy is gradually increasing, the conscious for protecting environment is improving and liberalization in energy market is proceeding. Furthermore, the distribution of traditional energy sources is not homogeneous. These reasons are increasing interest to create policies for benefiting from renewable sources better by developing newer technology and to fuel cell based alternative distributed generation systems. Energy generation systems like wind, photovoltaic (PV), micro hydroelectric are the promising and the most important renewable energy technologies. Moreover, fuel cell based systems will indicate a great potential for future applications of distributed generation because of their quick developing technology, high productivity, pollutant gases with no or low emission and their elastic structures. In this study, energy management of a hybrid microgrid that was renewable energy based (wind, photovoltaic, micro hydroelectric) was provided by a computer program reformed in Microsoft C Sharp(C#) programming language in order to supply electric energy to small locations like holiday camps which were far away from energy distributing systems and other locations. It was observed that demanded energy was met by the data taken from generation sources thanks to this developed program. The importance of the energy management was explained by analyzing one year results via graphics.
Keywords: Energy Management, Hybrid Systems, Microgrid, Power Generation, Renewable energy sources.
