Abstract: DC microgrids (dcMGs) are gaining popularity for photovoltaic (PV) applications as the demand for PV generation continues to grow exponentially. A hybrid control strategy for a PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) in a stand-alone dcMG is proposed in this paper.
The power of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicles (EV) charging in integrated standalone DC microgrids is uncertain. If no suitable control strategy is adopted, the power variation will significantly fluctuate in DC bus voltage and reduce the system’s stability.
The energy storage unit is essential to maintain the stable operation in the standalone mode of the integrated DC microgrid. When the system power changes, the bus voltage will also change. An effective control strategy for the energy storage unit in the microgrid is needed to stabilize the bus voltage within a specific range.
The power of the PV power generation and EV charging units in the integrated standalone DC microgrid is uncertain. If no reasonable countermeasures are taken, the power variation will lead to a significant deviation in bus voltage and reduce the stability of the microgrid system.
In the context of a DC microgrids, the utilization of a fuel cell has the potential to offer a consistent and reliable power supply, especially when particularly integrated with sustainable energy sources such as solar and wind .
The PV array consists of 14 single PV cells connected in series, and the simulation parameters are shown in Table 5. Based on the above conditions, the system model of the integrated DC microgrid is simulated, and each unit’s output power variation curves at the operating Condition 1 are given in Fig. 23. Table 5.
