Energy Management of Hysteresis Current Control Based Grid Tied PV System Using High Gain Converter for DC Microgrid Applications
摘要
The penetration of conventional energy sources is diminishing and energy demands are enhancing. So, the other alternative energy sources are required for emission free environment and compensation of energy demands such as photovoltaic systems. PV generates low output voltage. To meet the required load demands, the high voltage gain converters are arrived. This article presents a grid connected PV system using high gain converter. The high gain converter in the proposed system offers many advantages such as less components, designed with a single switch, less gate driver circuitry, low cost and high efficiency. PV source voltage and battery voltage are acting as input voltages to this high gain converter. In battery discharging mode, battery and PV voltages are connected in series and step up to dc link voltage by high gain converter. In the above said mode, battery control and PV control are combined together. When the battery is in charging state, the PV power is feeding to load and battery. The battery charging from dc link voltage through buck converter. The bidirectional dc/ac converter is controlled by hysteresis current control. The active component current for hysteresis current control is produced using loss component current, load power, PV power and battery power. The aforementioned control strategies maintains the power management between electrical sources and load. The suggested system is simulated for 1.2 kW power rating and scaled prototype type experimental setup results are validated.
