A primary goal of Hawaii’s Clean Energy Initiative is to increase energy efficiency and renewable energy resources to meet 70% of the state’s energy demand by 2030. As part of this initiative, Castle & Cooke Company created a 1.2 megawatt photovoltaic (PV) solar farm on Lanai, an island served by Maui Electric Company.
在安装光伏系统之前,毛伊电器与Sandia National Laboratories合作,确保它可以与已经为岛屿提供电力的柴油发电机可靠有效地集成。Sandia使用Simulink开发了Lanai Microgrid的模型金宝app®和Simscape电™并进行了仿真,以评估各种配置和控制方案。
Sandia的技术人员Ben Schenkman说:“Simscape Electrical为我们的系统提供了许多组件的模型,所以我们自己建造的东西很少。“将实际数据带入Simulink环境非常简单,这使得建模、仿真金宝app和验证的整个过程非常高效。”
