Abstract In this study, we present an ameliorated power management method for dc microgrid. The importance of exploiting renewable energy has long been a controversial topic, and due to the advantages of DC over the AC type, a typical DC islanded micro-grid has been proposed in this paper. This typical microgrid is composed of two sources: fuel cell (FC), solar cell (PV) and one storage element [supercapacitor (SC)]. Here, we aimed to provide a management strategy that guarantees optimized bus voltage with arranged power-sharing between the sources. This proposed management aims to provide high-quality energy to the load under different loading conditions with variable solar irradiance, taking into account the FC state. Due to the slow dynamics of the FC, the SC was equipped to supply the transient period. A management algorithm is implemented to hold the DC bus voltage stable against the load variations. The management controller is based on differential flatness approach to generate the references. The DC bus is regulated by the SC energy; to reduce the fluctuations in the DC bus voltage, The PI controller is implemented. This proposed strategy reduces the voltage ripple in the DC bus. Moreover, it provides permanent supplying to the load with smooth behaviour over the sudden changes in the demand as depicted in the simulation results. Our study revealed that this proposed manager can be used for this kind of grids easily.

An efficient energy management scheme for a standalone hybrid AC/DC microgrid (HMG) has been proposed in this paper. Energy management in a microgrid is a challenging task, because of the involvement of the distributed energy resources (DERs) which are intermittent in nature. The microgrid may therefore, undergo mismatch in demand and supply, when either the generation or load varies. This mismatch in power may result into DC bus voltage deviations and sometimes these deviations may be out of the permissible limits. A coordination control-based strategy (CCS) for DC bus voltage deviation mitigation and efficient energy management of the standalone microgrid is investigated here. The CCS is tested with the help of simulation studies on a test hybrid AC/DC microgrid in MATLAB covering all the scenarios which may arise. The test microgrid consists of a solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, a secondary source of generation, PEM fuel cell, a battery and a super capacitor. Coordination between the various sub-units and energy management of hybrid AC/DC microgrid is done using Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) and the DC bus voltage deviations are also compared with PI based control system. It is found that the system with FLC has better performance than PI based control system.

Hybrid electric ships powered by diesel generators and batteries are the main configuration for shipboard microgrids (SMGs) in the current maritime industry. Extensive studies have been conducted for the hybrid operation mode, whereas the all-electric operation mode and the switching between the aforementioned two modes in a system with multiple generators and batteries have not been tested. In this paper, a coordinated approach for a hybrid electric ship is proposed, where two operation modes have been simultaneously considered. More specifically, for achieving an efficient operation with reduced generator wear losses, the governor-less diesel-engine-driven generators have been adopted in the study. According to the practical operation conditions, two operation modes, the all-electric and hybrid modes, are preset. Based on these, the coordination of the generators acting as the main power sources and batteries regulating the power flow and improving the generator efficiency is studied. The governor-less diesel generators are regulated to inject the rated power in order to maximize the generator efficiency, while the DC bus voltage is regulated by DC/DC converters. For the benefit of the overall lifespan of battery banks, power sharing during charging and discharging states have been realized by the state of charge (SoC)-based adaptive droop regulator. For the test of two operation modes, as well as the mode switching, a simulation assessment in a 1 kV DC SMG has been conducted. The simulation results show that the DC bus voltage can be controlled well, and that the power sharing among batteries follows the design. Additionally, smooth transients can be observed during mode switching when the proposed control scheme is applied.

Abstract In this paper, a coordinated power-sharing strategy for interconnected DC-microgrid (DC-MG) is proposed. The DC-MG consists of two subgrids with an interlinking bidirectional DC/DC converter (IBDDC). Each subgrid has a secondary-1 controller based on a state of charge (SoC) balancing based droop control strategy of the battery unit (BU). The proposed droop strategy regulates the DC bus voltage according to the SoC of BU. With the SoC balancing based droop method, BU with higher SoC supplies more power to the microgrid (MG) as compared to low SoC BU. The SoC information of batteries in all subgrids is communicated through low bandwidth communication (LBC). In case of failure of LBC, a secondary-2 controller is implemented for the battery controller to regulate the DC bus voltage considering the SoC of BU. Secondary-2 does not depend on the communication line. Considering the levels of DC bus voltages, a secondary power regulating controller is introduced for IBDDC. Further, a coordinated power control strategy is proposed for distributed generation to avoid overcharging of batteries. The whole system operates in a distributed way without a central controller. The proposed strategy has been verified in MATLAB/Simulink.
