Abstract: Remote areas that are not within the maximum breakeven grid extension distance limit will not be economical or feasible for grid connections to provide electrical power to the community (remote area). An integrated autonomous sustainable energy system is a feasible option. We worked on a novel multi optimization electrical energy assessment/power management system of a microgrid network that adopted combined dispatch, load-following, and cycle-charging strategies (control system) that acted as a power interface module over the hybrid configuration of energy sources (grid network/downdraft biomass generator/solar photovoltaic), thermal load controller-boiler systems, and hybrid energy-storage technologies (lithium, iron flow, sodium sulfur, and flywheel) to enable the microgrid network to operate in the island (off grid), grid, and island-able (ability to isolate itself when it is connected to the grid network) modes efficiently and effectively. An optimal multitask control algorithm and the storage units of modeled power generation sources were executed with the HOMER software application to improve the energy system’s efficiency, promote effective storage management, minimize energy loss, and improve the lifespan of the microgrid network. The integrated energy system can work for both rural and urban areas.
