About this project

Model a 10 kW residential microgrid with rooftop solar + Li-ion BESS + grid connection + critical loads. Implement an energy management algorithm that minimizes electricity bill under Mumbai TOU tariff while keeping BESS within SoH-safe SoC range. Validate via 1-year simulation in HOMER + Simulink.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
CLO1: Design a hybrid microgrid sized to a real consumption profile.
CLO2: Model battery degradation + state-of-charge.
CLO3: Formulate energy dispatch as a MILP optimization problem.
CLO4: Quantify ROI under time-of-use tariffs.
CLO5: Communicate techno-economic feasibility to non-technical audience.

Industry/societal relevance: Residential + C&I battery storage is the next 5-year hiring wave in Indian power sector; Tata Power, Reliance Industries (giga-factory), Amara Raja Batteries.

Milestones

1. Load Profile + Solar Yield

15 marks 10d

Use a real Mumbai home's 1-year hourly data (or simulate). HOMER simulation for solar + grid baseline.

2. Battery Sizing

20 marks 14d

Pick BESS (4 kWh Li-FePo4) based on solar surplus + critical load backup. Justify in spec sheet.

3. MILP Dispatch Model

25 marks 18d

Python + PuLP. Hourly decision: charge / discharge / grid-import. Objective: minimize bill, constraint: SoC 20-90%.

4. Simulink Real-Time Validation

20 marks 14d

Build Simulink model of full microgrid, run 24-hr loop with MILP decisions. Verify SoC + bill match optimization.

5. ROI + Final Report

20 marks 19d

Compute payback + IRR vs grid-only baseline under MERC TOU tariff. 10-page report.
