• New quasi-optimal control algorithm for the management of distributed resources. • Energy consumption control. • Frequency control for isolated microgrids. • The proposed algorithm has been patented and implemented on LV breakers. The increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in modern power systems is introducing new challenges for system stability and control. The stochasticity of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) and the unpredictable behaviour of demand, make it necessary to develop intelligent Energy Resources Management (ERM) methodology, able to actively regulate the actors of the electrical network. This paper proposes a new quasi-optimal control algorithm, designed for LV breaker devices, aiming to manage DERs in a distributed and scalable approach. The developed ERM technique is able: (1) to control the energy consumption at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) (with the possibility to join Active Demand Response (ADR) programs or to provide flexibility/energy reserve), when the microgrid itself is connected to the main grid; (2) to control the frequency profile when the microgrid is operating in islanded mode, using information provided by real time measures.
