Abstract

Regeneratively fed Direct Current (DC) grids play a key role in the energy transition. The promising supply architecture for industrial plants is not only materially efficient in its topology, but it also distributes energy without large conversion losses, especially for electric drives. While the architecture already offers a particularly efficient integration for renewable energies, the natural fluctuation must be mastered in energy management. Depending on the orientation, dimensioning and geographical conditions, this paper describes an approach and implementation of power forecasting for photovoltaic (PV) systems based on numerical weather predictions. Furthermore, the associated energy management scenarios for storage and loads in DC-supplied production plants are presented. The advantages of energy forecasting lie in the optimal design of the DC-Grid components, the improvement of peak shaving and the early energy optimisation of production control through connection to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
