Grid-tied photovoltaic system with a storage battery to supply the local object own needs with multi-zone payment
The principles for the implementation of control and redistribution of energy in a photovoltaic system with a storage battery for a local object connected to a grid with multi-zone tariffication have been improved, with the exclusion of generating electricity to the grid. There is a synthesis of the structure of the control system and the control algorithm based on the analysis of processes in electrical circuits using computer modeling to substantiate the system parameters and check the proposed solutions. The possibility of ensuring the normal functioning of a local object for a possible violation of the quality of electricity during the most loaded peak hours and most of the daytime during the autonomous operation of the system is shown. Relationships are obtained for determining the values of the input voltage of the inverter, the inductance of the reactor and the PWM frequency when the inverter is operating in the active rectifier mode with the possibility of reducing the PWM frequency in the autonomous mode with a decrease in energy losses in the switches and an increase in efficiency. The structure of the control system has been improved to ensure that the battery operates in the active zone of charging characteristics in an autonomous mode and switching the load to the grid when the inverter charges the battery in the active rectifier mode. The simulation model of energy processes in the system has been improved, taking into account the charging and discharging characteristics of the battery. It has been established that the lowest costs for electricity consumed from the network are achieved at maximum loads during peak hours, the ratio of the capacities of photoelectric and storage batteries is justified. The performance of the proposed solutions is confirmed by modeling in Matlab and on an experimental setup based on a standard hybrid inverter. The solutions obtained are the basis for the design of new and modernization of existing photoelectric systems of local objects, including the use of software and hardware control systems.
