The Energy Management Scheme for Photovoltaic/Battery Power Conversion System

Abstraet-The photovoltaic/battery (PV-Batt) power conversion system, consisting of PV-interfacing dc-dc converters, battery-interfacing dc-dc converters, and grid-connected inverters, has been popular for delivering dispatchable power to the grid. By making use of the internal dc-bus voltage feedback signal, this paper proposes a communication-free energy management scheme (EMS) for managing the power electronics converters in the PV-Batt power conversion system. The proposed EMS prioritizes the grid code, maximizes the photovoltaic utilization, and ensures power reliability in various operation scenarios. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed energy management scheme.
