Comparison of Reactive Power for Solar-PV based Microgrid utilizing Fuzzy Control Between battery-based and non-battery systems

In this study, a fuzzy control energy management system (EMS) for a microgrid system is designed and implemented, as well as an analysis of the reactive power performance of solar-PV systems with battery and non-battery energy storage devices (BESS). Applying fault scenarios to the system will properly validate the study. In order to run distributed power sources and energy storage systems after a failure, the reactive power, voltage, and current at the point of common coupling of the solar PV-based system and the solar PV with BESS and without BESS system are compared and utilized in MATLAB/Simulink. The intended state of charge is managed through fuzzy control to extend the battery’s life. In order to guarantee the dependability of the power supply by the generating and distribution systems, the energy management system in microgrids has the ability to direct and give effective control.
