Project Code :TEPGPS778

Objective

The main objective of this project is to develop and implement multi-objective and coordinated control strategies for a solar PV-diesel generator (DG)-battery storage (BS) microgrid in standalone mode.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents the multi-objective and coordinate control of converters is designed and implemented to achieve power management, while maintaining operation of DG in fuel economy zone (FEZ), and increase load ability of the DG with nonlinear load. Additionally, the total harmonic distortion of DG current is maintained within 5% as per IEEE 519 standard. Moreover, the control prevents flow of negative sequence currents in the DG during single phase/double phase unbalanced faults. The state of charge (SOC) of BS is also regulated to prevent overcharging/over-discharging by regulating MPPT/off-MPPT operation of the solar PV array. The hardware implementation of control is done on the laboratory set-up to test the efficacy of the control, which concludes satisfactory performance under various scenarios, and enhanced performance as compared to contemporary algorithms. The simulation results can be evaluated by using Matlab/Simulink Software.
