Abstract: An isolated micro-grid has different requirements from the traditional power grids. Several energy sources may be linked for the purpose of sharing load demand without being linked to the grid. The isolated micro-grid is made up of at least one energy generator, an energy storage system, and a load portion. Because there are several energy sources and a range of models, the power flow must be managed to ensure the safety of all hardware. Monitoring the flow of power from multiple energy sources necessitates adherence to many parameters and other requirements. As a result, the goal of this work is to identify a worthwhile solution for providing the appropriate portions with the necessary power while also obtaining the necessary energy from other sources. The approach is based on the fuzzy logic controller, which is an intelligent technology. This regulator is used in an efficient process that tries to control all of the equipment in the isolated micro-grid under investigation. The MATLAB/Simulink platform is employed for simulating this proposed system, and then, the depicted results were discussed and compared. Showing the traditional relay control, the standard PI regulator, and a neural control combination process, the achieved results prove that it is possible to reduce the battery recharge time to half; if the proposed fuzzy controller is used. Then, the established controller specifications have been used for evaluating the energy performances of the hybrid energy system under a real case situation in a specific location in the world. Consequently, the obtained results prove that this proposal power management system will be largely beneficial for such energy storage applications and an energy yield can be assured during all climatic conditions and specifications.
