Abstract

With the increasing diversity in the use of electrical energy and the inclusion of renewable electricity power plants in the system, more efficient and more controllable electrical power systems are provided by smart grid technologies. Load balance based on pricing in electrical power systems; It is a strategy that takes into account customer demands, enables customers to use electrical energy at the most attractive price, and provides suppliers with the desired profit, that is, in summary, it coordinates the efficient operation of energy systems. In this study; While load balance is created with smart grid technology, demand-supply-price balance is achieved by using an optimum Fuzzy Logic PI controller within a closed-loop electric power control system model. Within the scope of the study, the simulation results obtained by applying 6 different demand scenarios to the power system model consisting of different types of generation resources were given graphically and analyzed. The different demand scenarios applied include difficult demand conditions such as possible sudden increase or decreases in demand in the electrical power system.
