Energy Management System for a Low Voltage Direct Current Microgrid: Modeling and experimental validation
Résumé
In the field of microgrids with a significant integration of Renewable Energy Sources, the efficient and practical power storage systems requirement is causing DC microgrids to gain increasing attention. However, uncertainties in power generation and load consumption along with the fluctuations of electricity prices require the design of a reliable control architecture and a robust energy management system for enhancing the power quality and its sustainability, while minimizing the associated costs. This paper presents a mixed approach illustrating both simulation and experimental results of a grid-connected DC microgrid which includes a photovoltaic power source and a battery storage system. Special emphasis is placed on the minimization of the total operating cost of the microgrid while considering the battery degradation cost and the electricity tariff. Thereby, an optimal energy management system is proposed for Energy Storage Systems scheduling and enabling the minimization of the electricity bill based on simple models. Simultaneously, the differences between simulation and laboratory performances are highlighted.
