Abstract

Joseph Dowell, Dr. Penrose Cofie, Dr. Charlie Tolliver, Dr. John Fuller, Dr. Warsame Ali Electrical/Computer Engineering Department Prairie View A&M University, Prairie View, Texas

As technology continues to evolve and society grows, the need for greater access to energy as well as the demand has increased. Energy demand and the need to maintain and protect the environment have fostered innovations such as the Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Systems. The advent of the internet, smart meters and remote communications devices has allowed for the advancement of Smart-Grid & Micro-Grid Systems. Renewable energy sources are presented in this paper. Photovoltaic power generators and Wind turbine generators and hydroelectric pump storage systems are presented and their deployment to provide fast and efficient and reliable energy is discussed. The necessity of employing computer energy management architecture is also presented.
