Abstract:
It is a great challenge for DC microgrids with renewable sources and volatility loads to
achieve better operational performance. A microgrid is the combination of distributed
energy resources (DER), distributed storage (DS), and load. By understanding the need
for electricity and available energy sources and storage, energy management can be done.
The task of the Energy Management System is to manage the energy between source and
load. Efficient management of these microgrids and their seamless integration within smart
and energy-efficient buildings are required. This project is based on an energy management
and control strategy (EMCS) of DC Microgrid with PV/Battery system feeding a DC load.
The energy management system is based on the state of charge of the battery. It takes the
battery life into consideration by applying constraints to its charging/discharging currents
and state-of-charge (SoC). This work mainly focuses on the design and implementation of
a control strategy for efficient energy management.
