⚡ MicroGrid Simulator | Smart Energy Scheduler

Welcome to MicroGrid Simulator!

Learn how smart energy scheduling can save money and help the environment

What is a Microgrid?

A Microgrid is a small-scale power system that can:

Generate its own electricity (Solar Panels)
Store energy for later use (Batteries)
Connect to the main power grid when needed
Use backup generators (Diesel) in emergencies

Daily Energy Scheduler (Theme 5)

This simulator focuses on optimizing daily energy usage:

Baseline Mode

Uses energy as needed without optimization. Simple but costly!

Smart Mode

AI schedules battery usage to minimize cost. Always saves money!

Peak vs Off-Peak Pricing

Electricity prices vary throughout the day:

12 AM - 5 PM ₹10/kWh OFF-PEAK

5 PM - 10 PM ₹15/kWh PEAK (1.5x)

10 PM - 12 AM ₹10/kWh OFF-PEAK

Smart Tip: Charge battery during off-peak, discharge during peak!

System Components

Solar Panels

Generate free electricity from sunlight (6 AM - 6 PM). Peak at noon. Weather affects output.

Battery Storage

Store excess solar energy. Discharge to power home during peak hours. SOC = State of Charge.

Power Grid

Backup power source. Buy electricity when solar/battery not enough. Price varies!

Diesel Generator

Emergency backup. Most expensive (₹25/kWh). High CO₂ emissions. Last resort!

How to Use This Simulator

1
Configure System
Set solar capacity, battery size, grid cost using sliders
2
Choose Weather
Sunny = Best solar | Cloudy = 40% output | Rainy = 15% output
3
Enable Smart Mode
Toggle ON to enable AI-powered scheduling that ALWAYS saves money!
4
Run Simulation
Click PLAY to watch 24-hour energy simulation unfold
5
Compare Results
View savings, CO₂ reduced - data auto-downloads when complete!

Understanding Metrics

SOC (State of Charge) Battery level from 0-100%. Keep above 10% for safety.

SOH (State of Health) Battery health. Decreases with use. Start at 100%.

CO₂ Saved Carbon dioxide emissions avoided by using solar instead of grid.

Solar Efficiency Percentage of load powered by solar. Higher is better!

SOURCE	POWER	TOTAL
