International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2021

With the increasing demand for solar energy as a renewable source has brought up new challenges in the field of energy. However, one of the main advantages of photovoltaic (PV) power generation technology is that it can be directly connected to the grid power generation system and meet the demand of increasing energy consumption. Large-scale PV grid-connected power generation system put forward new challenges on the stability and control of the power grid and the grid-tied photovoltaic system with an energy storage system. To overcome these problems, the PV grid-tied system consisted of 8 kW PV array with energy storage system is designed, and in this system, the battery components can be coupled with the power grid by AC or DC mode. In addition, the feasibility and flexibility of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controller are verified through the dynamic model built in the residential solar PV system. Through the feasibility verification of the model control mode and the strategy control, the grid-connected PV system combined with reserve battery storage can effectively improve the stability of the system and reduce the cost of power generation. To analyze the performance of the grid-tied system, some real-time simulations are performed with the help of the system advisor model (SAM) that ensures the satisfactory working of the designed PV grid-tied system.

An Intelligent Controlling Method for Battery Lifetime Increment Using State of Charge Estimation in PV-Battery Hybrid System

Applied Sciences

In a photovoltaic (PV)-battery integrated system, the battery undergoes frequent charging and discharging cycles that reduces its operational life and affects its performance considerably. As such, an intelligent power control approach for a PV-battery standalone system is proposed in this paper to improve the reliability of the battery along its operational life. The proposed control strategy works in two regulatory modes: maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode and battery management system (BMS) mode. The novel controller tracks and harvests the maximum available power from the solar cells under different atmospheric conditions via MPPT scheme. On the other hand, the state of charge (SOC) estimation technique is developed using backpropagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm under BMS mode to manage the operation of the battery storage during charging, discharging, and islanding approaches to prolong the battery lifetime. A case study is demonstrated to confirm the effectiveness...

Effective Management System for Solar PV Using Real-Time Data with Hybrid Energy Storage System

Applied sciences, 2020

This paper proposes an effective management system for stand-alone solar photovoltaic (PV) using real-time data with Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS). The abrupt movement of fleeting clouds often gives rise to PV power output fluctuations which in turn affect the power quality and system stability due to scattered solar radiation reception. These variations can limit through a ramp-limit controller and employing a DC link controller to maintain the stable DC link voltage. The battery is used in the system for continuous power application and the sudden variations in charging and discharging of battery power can create stress on the battery. These sudden changes in a battery will be removed by the super-capacitor (SC) unit and achieves a fast DC link voltage regulation. Hence, the high energy and power density devices such as battery and SC units will deliver more stable power into the system. The control scheme is tested in Matlab/Simulink and validated by Real-Time Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) simulator using periodic one-minute data for one year from the solar PV power plant from real-time.

Energy management and performance evaluation of grid connected PV-battery hybrid system with inherent control scheme

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2018

To decrease the payback time of the photovoltaic (PV) system and make it financially attractive, we propose a Photovoltaic Customer Grid Supply System (PCGSS) with bi-directional power flow, so the surplus energy fully or partially is delivered of the grid, following its needs, while, for critical operating conditions, the grid supplies the loads directly. For this purpose, a new management algorithm is proposed to optimize the generated power and allows the system to act as a distributed source inside the utility grid. Two scenarios are considered; In the first, the grid absorbs all the power delivered by the distributed system, while in the second, the power is injected to the grid based on the its requirements. Furthermore, to meet the proposed objectives, the PV system is strictly sized to supply only the high priority loads, in addition, the system has to work at the Maximum Power Point (MPP) or at the Limited Power Point (LPP) modes to meet the management algorithm requests. To reach the LPP, a modified Perturbation and Observation (P&O) algorithm is used. Meanwhile, to sustain the functionality of the system and to assure continues supply of energy, a battery system has been integrated with the PV system.

PECon 2012 - 2012 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy, 2012

This paper presents modeling, simulation and performance evaluation of grid integrated photovoltaic (PV) with battery energy storage system (BESS). The battery energy storage provides additional benefit for DC bus voltage regulation, where it is interfaced to the common DC bus of the PV power conversion system. A control method for state of charge and BESS charge/discharge is proposed to ensure an efficient performance and safe operation of the BESS. The dynamic performance of the system during critical condition is evaluated by considering various simulation scenarios in which the system is subjected to disturbances such as step changes in solar irradiation and fault at the utility grid. The PSCAD/EMTDC based simulation provides the evaluation results.

Solar generation is a prominent source of renewable energy and a rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) system has been deployed in shipyard to generate electricity from the highest irradiance, which is in Tuas, West Region of Singapore. This is based on industrial rooftop PV system with bigger capacity of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in grid-connected PV system, is able to achieve greater cost saving for electrifying to load. This whole system is then modelled with simulation to demonstrate using discharging characteristics of the BESS under six different connection scenarios. The transient stability of PV with greater capacity of BESS can improve quality of the power flow to load when there is a sudden loss of power from PV. In addition, result shows that power quality will vary if there is more capacity in BESS integrated with PV.

Optimal energy management for a grid connected PV-battery system

Energy Reports, 2019

The increase demand for electricity and the non-renewable nature of fossil energy makes the move towards renewable energies required. However, the common problem of renewable sources, which is the intermittence, is overcome by the hybridization of complementary sources. Thus, whenever the load demand is not fully covered by the primary source, the second one will absolutely support it. Furthermore, the production, the interaction with the grid and the storage system must be managed by the grid-connected hybrid renewable energy system, which is the main objective of this paper. Indeed, we propose a new system of a grid-connected PV-battery, which can manage its energy flows via an optimal management algorithm. The DC bus source connection topology in our proposed hybrid architecture tackles the synchronization issues between sources when the load is powered. We consider in this work that choosing a battery discharge and charge limiting power provides an extension of the battery life. On the other hand, we simulated the dynamic behavior of the architecture's various components according to their mathematical modeling. Following this, an energy management algorithm was proposed, and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK to serve the load. The results have shown that the load was served in all cases, taking into account the electrical behavior of the inhabitants as well as the weather changes on a typical day. Indeed, the load was served either by instant solar production between sunrise and sunset, or the recovery from sunset to 10pm, which could be a stored or injected energy without exceeding the 1000W per hour. c
