To maximize the integration new renewable generation from wind and photovoltaic farms in the existing electrical grid without new power lines, we need to modulate their generation level and use batteries to keep the intensity on the lines below their limits. Objective: The system, distributed in several substations, acquires voltage and intensity to monitor the lines of a given area and sends commands to generation farms and batteries calculated based on real-time optimization using Model Predictive Control.
