Abstract—Hybrid energies interest many companies and countries. No form of electricity production is optimal in all situations. The wind and the sun are intermittent but do not consume fuel and do not emit greenhouse gases. Natural gas electricity production emits greenhouse gases but is distributable (i.e. it has a yield that can be easily controlled between maximum values of nominal capacity or reduced to zero) to help balance supply and demand. Hydroelectric power often requires and devotes large areas, but is renewable and distributable. However, the realization of all these projects remains dependent on the development of more efficient and more economical electrical energy storage systems. Hybrid power plants: a solution for the future? To provide energy that is more affordable, more reliable, and more sustainable. AI, smart grid [6] and Energy storage: The dynamics of new energies, that is to say, local and renewable, are indeed launched. To succeed in this revolution, the problem of storing renewable energies, due to their intermittent nature, remains to be resolved. Machine learning and neural networks play an important role in improving forecasts in the energy industry. Today the electrical networks of the countries are more and more connected and the alternating electric current at a frequency of 50 Hertz when one in a situation of balance between production and consumption. If production exceeds consumption, the frequency increases. Conversely, if consumption increases and production is lower than consumption, the frequency decreases. In one case as in another, if the frequency variation is very large compared [2] to the reference of 50 Hertz, this can result in incidents on the network and cuts in localized or even generalized electricity, hence the need for an almost perfect balance at all times between production and consumption. This is the problem of renewable, intermittent, or variable energies. When you have controllable power plants [13] that you can start-up in a few minutes, such as gas power plants, there is no problem in balancing production with consumption at the matching moment. On the other hand, with certain variable electricity sources such as wind turbines [3] [4] and photovoltaics, the production of which depends on weather conditions, in this case, it becomes complicated.

Intermittent energy: Energy transition a question that comes up regularly when we talk about the development of renewable energies, particularly wind turbines and photovoltaic panels. This is the question of their intermittence, we also talk about their variability. When the weather calms down and there is no wind or sun, it's a blackout. It is not likely to happen, because indeed it seems logical to think that when there is no sun and there is no more wind, the electrical network is no longer supplied and like wind and solar have more and more room in the electric energy [1] and electric mix from developing countries and even at the global level, one could fear future electricity shortages. II. STORAGE A. Energy storage To balance the supply and demand of electricity during consumption peaks, we use electricity that would have been produced by photovoltaic power plants or by a wind farm [21] during the day when the demand for electricity was less strong. The electricity that we stored. Electricity storage can be done in different ways: - Lithium-Ion batteries - Vanadium batteries B. The variability of certain energies Renewable Electricity as such cannot be stored. The batteries store electrical energy, energy converted into electrochemical form, which electrical energy in the electrochemical form will be further converted into electricity. Electricity which is electron flow in the proper sense of the term that cannot be stored is difficult in storage. This implies that at all times, power stations should produce enough electricity to serve our consumption requirements. - PETS PETS/STEP (Pumped Energy Transfer Station) is a kind of two-way dam. 978-1-7281-6646-9/20/$31.00 ©2020 IEEE 33 Authorized licensed use limited to: Rutgers University.

Developing Battery Management Systems with Simulink and Model–Based Design The Battery frameworks have now turn into an essential instrument for designing battery-powered systems. Their function contains the battery description and algorithm development, and real-time simulation, state of health (SOH) approximation, state-of-charge (SOC), and system-level optimization, for the system planning of battery management. Their uses include algorithm development, characterization, and health status assessment (SOH), battery state-of-charge (SOC), real-time simulation, and design level upgrading for the battery management system. Fig1 Workflow of battery management system development with Simulink and Model-Based Design. The predominant energy storage systems in aircraft, electric vehicles, portable devices, and other equipment requiring a dependable, high-energy-density, low-weight power reserve comprise Lithium-ion battery packs. The Battery models which based on equivalent circuits are usually preferred for system-level development and the control applications due to their relative simplicity. Equivalent circuits are used by engineers for modeling the thermo-electric performance of batteries, defining their nonlinear element parameters by using correlation methods that combine frameworks and experiment-based measuring through optimization. Across industries, the growing dependence on battery pack energy storage has underscored the importance of battery management systems (BMSs) that can ensure maximum performance, safe operation [25], and optimal life span under diverse charge-discharge and environmental conditions. To meet these objectives by designing a BMS, engineers develop feedback and supervisory control algorithms that: - Balance the state-of-charge of individual cells - Keep in line the battery charging pattern state-ofhealth (SOH) and state-of-charge (SOC) approximation - Set apart the battery pack from source and load when needed - Limit power input and output for thermal and overcharge protection - Monitor cell voltage and temperature Fig 2 Complete battery management system This figure represents the complete battery management system containing two or battery packs and connected with the plant.The capabilities of modeling and simulation by Simulation enable BMS growth, admitting automatic code generation, control logic, electronic circuit design,singlecell-equivalent circuit formulation and parameterization, and verification and validation. With Simulink, engineers can design and simulate the battery management systems by: Our basic purpose is to know how engineers develop BMS algorithms and software systems by executing systemlevel models using Simulink. Simulation-Based Design by utilizing Simulink empowers you to achieve awareness into the dynamic performance of the battery pack, explore software architectures, examine active cases, and begin hardware tests in early, reducing design errors. The development of the Battery management system with Simulink depends upon 3 factors. - Desktop Simulation - Real-Time Simulation - Hardware Implementation - Modeling battery packs using electrical networks that set topology mirrors in the real system and balance with the number of cells. - Parameterizing equivalent circuit elements using test data for an accurate representation of cell chemistry. - Designing the power electronics circuit that links the pack to controls. - Preparing closed-loop control algorithms supervisory and fault detection logic. - Working-out state perceivers for state-of-health and state-of-charge on-line approximation. for But the battery management system can also consist of a single battery pack controlling the charging and discharging. It is also known as the Battery controller design. We can also say it Battery management system of a small scale. It works on the principle that when the voltage source is disabled, the battery will supply the load. And when the voltage source is enabled the battery will charge and the load will be supplied from the voltage source. The battery controller has two cases. 34 Authorized licensed use limited to: Rutgers University. Downloaded on May 19,2021 at 07:17:46 UTC from IEEE Xplore.

But we should combine this to make the model more efficient. So to make it compatible for both modes I have used the switch which will determine the mode. Fig 3 Simulation results for charging mode From the figure, you can see that battery is in charging mode. Because both SOC (state of charge) and voltage is increasing but the current is decreasing. The voltage is 25.98V and the current is 16A. The reference current is at the maximum levelwhichis -22A. Fig 7 Combined Simulink Model for both charging and discharging It works based on a voltage source because we determine the modes based on the source. Now we can check the effects by using simulation by keeping the switch on or off (for charging and discharging mode). Fig 4 Simulink model for charging of the battery III. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ENABLES ELECTRICAL EFFICIENCY AND RELIABILITY AI has transformed by now and will remain to transform renewable energy companies on the supply-side. To provide the supreme practical value out of a storage scheme, AI optimizes through out multiple uses such as backup power, management of demand charge, trade of energy, and market involvement of wholesale. AI invariably brings in economic [9] trade offs when finding out how much energy to distribute or keep for the future.AI automatizes system operation [25]. The platform comprehends market complications, absorbing datasets such as market participation rules, price signals, rate structures, and solar production forecasts. It reacts nearly right away to these contributions to determine the top worth for customers of Stem. This algorithm is designed in such a way that the battery will charge up to 80% SOC level. To make the battery efficient and enabled it to be charged up-to 100% we may require a different algorithm. PI controller issued in this Simulink model to determine the reference battery current. For discharge mode, we have taken a different PI controller and we have assumed the loadis 48V. Artificial Intelligence is a set of technologies "implemented with a view to achieving machines capable of simulating human intelligence", such as reasoning or learning. Fig 5 Simulink model for battery in discharge mode So in discharge mode, the voltage and SOC level should decrease, and reference current should increase. So we validate these results by simulating Simulink. The main field of study in Artificial Intelligence is called Machine Learning. It consists in teach computers to perform three types of actions: predict, classify and group. The 35 Authorized licensed use limited to: Rutgers University. Downloaded on May 19,2021 at 07:17:46 UTC from IEEE Xplore. Restrictions apply. algorithms [22] or models performing these tasks are called: regressions: Ridge, Lasso, forest of decision trees, gradient boosting, neural networks, etc. classifiers: support vector machine, decision trees, neural networks etc. data partitioning algorithms or clustering : k-means, DBScan, etc. These models can be used alone or in combination with other methods such as optimization [8] to implement more complex applications. - Supervised learning (regression and classifier) - Unsupervised learning (data partitioning) Fig 8 iFORBES ENERGY STORAGE Application cases of the technologies of Artificial Intelligence in the sector of energy. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies already exists in the energy sector. Generally demanding in quality data, these applications have often focused on maintenance optimizations in production or networks as well as on maintenance algorithms for the forecast in particular for energy exchange activities. Beyond that, the penetration of AI technologies is still limited in the energy sector. This is mainly because Machine Learning algorithms generally require a more complex and more sophisticated the energy sector has so far only had access to a large amount of highquality data, but the energy sector has only had little data compared to other sectors (internet, telecom, mobility, industrial). In addition, the marginal value of complexity may be low in energy1) IoT involves sensors or devices, connectivity, data processing, and user interface for control. The sensors or instruments will gather data from their surroundings, such as the temperature of a cubicle. Connectivity will send that piece of information, the data containing the temperature, via the internet to the cloud. Then, that data will be processed by software and lastly, this information is made useful to the end-user on an easy to read platform. AI plays a big role by being able to quickly gather insights from the gathered data. This technology can create analytics, identify patterns, and detect anomalies in the data more Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), like battery storage and solar panels, and have to learn how to optimize the grid with these new forms of generation. Over the next six years, the global DER market size is predicted to reach over $570 billion by 2025 and expected to grow at a rate of 15% during that period. With DERs drastically on the rise, AI can help utilities better manage and control [14] the grid. . This situation, perhaps less favorable than in other sectors, doesn’t imply that the Machine Learning will not be used in the energy sector. Regulatory changes and technology are leading to an increase in the volume and complexity of data (deployment of communicating meters, BIM, etc.) which allows the development of solutions and tools [5] that are all the more performance. AI will help utilities leverage the disruption of decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization. Lastly, digitalization allows utilities to make more sense of the vast amounts of data collected and enable interoperability between their physical assets and software via the cloud and the Industrial IoT. AI has been around for over half a century. However, three essential components of AI technology have seen significant growth over the past years, which has accelerated and expanded the uses of AI. First of all is computation power, which is crucial for AI to be massively scaled as machines need to be able to process data quickly and efficiently. Secondly, access to big data helps drive AI technologies. The world has seen tremendous growth in data and has created nine times more data than it had from the beginning of time up until 2015.7.Accompanying this growth in data, is the endless storage accessible via the cloud. As per Microsoft, the cloud is a worldwide network of servers that are linked to functioning as a single ecosystem. These servers can store and manage data, run applications, deliver content, service office productivity software, and more. AI goes hand in hand with the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) and is functionally necessary to connect devices online and make sense of all the data streaming from these IoT devices. IoT is connecting any electronic device to the Internet or one another. Fig 9 Optimization Solar Microgrid According to the World Economic Forum, the electricity sector will capture over $1.3 trillion of value from digitalization, AI can help save over $200 billion globally for the energy industry. General Electric is studying how to use technology to improve the flow of electricity from batteries to consumption points. One small technology change can unleash enormous savings for companies. Moreover, IDC forecasts that by 2021, 40% of numerical revolution creativities will habit artificial intelligence services and 75% of business applications will use artificial intelligence by 36 Authorized licensed use limited to: Rutgers University.

With the current market conditions, utility companies have much to gain by leveraging the massive computational power and speed with the uses of AI technology. According to BP’s Energy Outlook, by 2040, renewables will make up over 20% of total global power generation, while hydro and nuclear will make up about 10% and 8%, respectively.This global generation mix will be the most diversified the world has ever seen. Additionally, this growth in renewable is predominant in developed and developing countries, including OECD countries, China, and India AI can help mitigate issues by creating forecasts for electricity demand, generation, and weather, and predicting and managing fluctuations. Fig 11 PHOTO PETS Two huge pools of water located at two different altitudes. During the day when the electricity consumption is low, we use the electricity produced by the wind turbines solar panels to feed pumps which will raise the water from the lower basin to store it in the upper basin. Use lost electricity to pump water. In the evening at the time of the peak of electric consumption, it is enough to bring down the water and make turn the turbines with alternators and thus to produce electricity. Today with the development of renewable energies, we can very well imagine coupling a wind farm with a PTES. Thus, the excess electricity produced during periods of high winds will be stored to be used during periods of low wind or high demand. Fig 10 Predictive analytics It is a hybrid power plant (Wind /Solar/ Water) AI will reshape the relationship between the energy consumer and supplier by individualizing the customer offering and experience. The energy business is changing rapidly as it confronts commotion from digitalization, decentralization, and, decarbonization. AI can help utilities success fully optimize the grid and maintain reliability and resiliency. Massive computational power, the growth of big data, and advanced algorithms have propelled AI technology to solve numerous problems in every industry. Particularly with utilities, AI can develop human-to-asset interactions that improve asset management, routine operations, and field service operations. Additionally, AI optimizes renewable [27] resources on the grid and can improve reliability and resiliency. It also offers an opportunity for utilities to create a personalized customer experience. PETS represents the most promising means of electricity storage in the world today. Lithium-Ion batteries are the technology developing very quickly thanks in particular development of electric vehicles. This technology expensive but its price has dropped less than -85% year since 2010. that is to the is a bit year on So thanks to batteries, we can also develop hybrid power plants. In this case, we couple a wind farm where photovoltaic to batteries. Carmaker Tesla and French renewable energy company NEONE joined forces and installed in the state of South Australia a lithium-ion battery storage plant to store part of the electricity produced by wind, a 100 Megawatt power plant that supplies 30,000 Australian homes during peak consumption hours. Utilihive empowers utilities to manage the data flow for utilities. TAC™ is a protected channel concerning a firm’s circulated statistics and professional experts. Such systems work with worldwide power-driven functions and administration organizations to assist them achieve approach [23] to the AI consultants that make them able to regulate considerable collection of data. A smart grid [6] driven by AI will aid grid workers in proposing improved renewable energy dispersal results to buyers on the request side. Renewable energy will still be an affordable and more reliable development that can only be considered a success for sustainability. This has enabled residents to make big savings on bills and reduce the use of gas and oil plants in the region. It is a hybrid power plant (Wind / Batteries) NEONE commissioned a power plant in France in 2019 the largest power storage plant for a photovoltaic [26] farm coupled with batteries Lithium-Ion. This 6 MW storage plant Megawatt allows intervention in less than 30 seconds in the event of an increase or drops in voltage on the French electricity network It is a hybrid power plant (Solar / Batteries) Storing electricity thanks to hydrogen [16] when there are sunshine and radiation, the panels capture a maximum of the sun's rays and therefore produce a large amount of electricity 37 Authorized licensed use limited to: Rutgers University.

The Electrolysis allows thanks to an electric current to decompose the molecules of H2O water to recover on one side oxygen and on the other of hydrogen that we will store in a tank in winter when the days are shorter and less sunny and the solar panels are less productive. We will use the stored hydrogen to make electricity: it is the fuel cell [11] which is a generator that converts chemical energy in this case hydrogen into electric energy (the reverse principle of electrolysis of water).It is a very expensive technology. Figure 12- Different Energy Sources: Fossils, Hybrids, Storage, and Smart Grids. It is a hybrid power plant (Solar / Hydrogen) IV. PV / autonomous fuel cell hybrid system for the city of Brest in France FOSSIL HYBRID The principle of the Aïn Beni thermo-solar power plant is that this power plant consists of two lines, two gas turbines, two recovery boilers, a steam turbine and production and evacuation lines for 'energy. Best design [28] of a complete hybrid PV/FC power system devoid of battery storage to supply the electric load demand of the city of Brest. The optimization [8] study, using the total net present cost, clearly showed that a hybrid power supply system, especially fuel cells [11], is a viable alternative to diesel [10][17] generators as a noncontaminating dependable power reserve at a low cost [18] of gross up keep. Fuel cell generators could efficiently complement a fluctuating renewable source like solar energy to satisfy growing loads. So steam is produced by two sources: there is natural gas, as part of the normal combined cycle, and steam produced by the solar field. These two vapors converge on the steam turbine and integrate at the same time to produce electrical energy. "The total power of the plant is 472 MegaWatt, of which 20MW is solar, which allows it to satisfy about 10 % of the country's energy demand. Storage solution for the future It is a hybrid power plant (Thermo-Solar) It is an alternative and innovative energy storage system. An opportunity to present this new technology and the industrialization potential in Morocco. The Vanadium flow (VFB) battery The large capacity of these batteries makes them well suited to applications requiring significant storage, a response to maximum consumption, or production equation from variable sources such as solar or wind power plants. Low self-discharge and limited maintenance led to their adoption in some military applications2. Figure 13-Floating Wind Turbines These batteries allow us to respond quickly to demand, they can also be used in applications ASI(actuator sensor interface) where they replace the originators of lead-acid batteries. December 31, 20 kilometers from the coast of Viana do Castelo in Portugal.At 4,000 GW in Europe, it is significantly more than the resource potential. The main advantages of this technique are: - modular capacity at will, using more or less large, more or less full tanks; - The battery can be left discharged for long periods without deteriorating. It can also be recharged by replacing the electrolyte if no energy source is available to charge it. This battery thus allows rapid recharging by replacing the electrolyte through a pump, or slow recharging, by connection to an energy source; - If the electrolytes are mixed accidentally, the battery suffers from no irreversible damage. 3.1 Gigantic Floating Wind turbines Figure 14-Floating Water Turbine (Tidal network) The potentially huge global tidal power industry.

The leading tide related project around the globe is the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station in South Korea, with a set capability of 254MW. 3.2 DEFINITION OF A HYBRID SYSTEM The problem with the variable and unsecured power produced by renewable energy sources can be solved by coupling supply sources and the shaping of analleged hybrid system (SH). A hybrid system with renewable energy sources (SHSER) is an electronic system that includes multiple energy sources, at least one of which is renewable (Lazarov et al, 2005). Figure 15: Schematic diagram of a hybrid system. VI. The hybrid system may include a storage [15] device. From a more global point of view, the energy system of a given country can be considered as a hybrid system. Hybrid Systems Autonomous hybrid systems allow the production of electrical energy outside the public grid, particularly in areas with limited accessibility. Energy production is optimized by the use of several sources: photovoltaic solar, wind, micro-hydraulic [7], and methanation. The generator set is called upon from time to time if necessary. Storage on batteries is still necessary and makes it possible to optimize the use of the group and the autonomy of the system. Hybrid systems thus allow the supply of mini-grids from 1 kVA to more than 300 kVA in the following sectors: rural electrification island electrification industries tourism agriculture telecommunications. The advantages of hybrid systems: BENEFITS OF RES Reduction of fuel consumption and supply constraints Energy independence and long-term visibility of energy costs longer life of generator sets reduced maintenance Reduction of noise pollution and air pollution of the site Integration of wind energy into the electric transport network, and their participation in ancillary services and in particular the primary frequency and voltage formalization apart from the obstruction to fall. - Integration of energy storage [20] to reduce fluctuations in power due to the intermittent nature and irregularity of wind generation. Developing Battery Management Systems with Simulink Then, dynamic and complete modeling of batteries is established, taking into account some simplifying assumptions. A simplified model of the charging and discharging .It works based on a voltage source because we determine the modes based on the source. Now we can check the effects by using simulation by keeping the switch on or off (for charging and up-to this point we have discussed the two modes of battery separately. We combine this to make the model more efficient to make it compatible for both modes I have used the switch which will determine the mode. Thanks to these system services, the voltage and frequency are maintained within ranges which guarantee a sufficient level of safety and which are defined by regulations [10]. MODELIZATION : Tools [5] on the modeling [24] of storage solutions and system services that they can provide to promote the insertion of renewable energies on the networks. 1. - The work presented in this paper is part of the integration of wind energy/ solar energy and various other sources into the electric transport network, and their participation in ancillary services and in particular the primary frequency and voltage regulation, as well as the resistance to voltage-dips coupled to Artificial Intelligence, smart grid [6] and storage batteries. Integration of hybrid energies in electrical networks The desire to see the development of hybrid energy sources will lead to the increasing integration [19] of solar power plants, wind turbines, etc. into the electrical network In the event of a fault occurring on the network, these wind turbines are forced to disconnect since they cannot regulate their active and reactive [12] production in order to provide system services to the electrical network, and in particular frequency regulation, voltage regulation and resistance to voltage drops [8]. V. CONCLUSION: General conclusion and outlook - The share of renewable energy mainly from wind energy / solar energy in the energy mix in the world and in particular in Morocco is always climbing. The integration of this wind energy into the electrical network implies compliance with technical constraints in order to ensure the stability of the electrical system and to assure users a dependable and superior energy supply. This type of energy is distinguished by its intermittent nature and which is often the source of serious problems related to the stability of networks. Homer Software: AI Efficiency, Electrical Efficiency, and Reliability The Homer program was founded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the United States. It is a very powerful tool for simulating and calculating intelligent electrical networks with a hybrid component.
