Abstract:

One of the targets for operational control of DC microgrid is to guarantee the DC bus voltage constant. Considering DC microgrid on both grid-connected and islanding operating conditions, DC bus voltage control strategy was proposed based on ac power grid and energy storage systems. Through the reasonable design of external voltage loop and internal current loop control parameters for the both AC-DC converter and the DC-DC converter, the dynamic performance of the control system was improved, and the DC bus voltage was kept constant. The validity of the bus voltage control strategy was verified by the establishing Simulink model of DC microgrid. The results were shown that the response time of the bus voltage control strategy maintained within 100ms with the load fluctuation of DC microgrid, and the maximum ripple rate was 0.8%. Therefore, the final results were shown that the bus voltage control strategy is validity.

I. Introduction

The reduce of fossil energy and environmental concerns, accompanied by technical and economic reasons, gave rise to increased interest in penetration of distributed generators which consists of renewable energy generators and clean energy generators such as wind generator, photovoltaic generator and fuel cell. [1]–[4]. As the integration of distributed generation, energy storage systems, e.g. battery, super capacitor and flywheel energy storage and so on, and novel loads such as heat pumps and electric vehicles, and improving the utilizing efficiency of renewable energy, the concept of the microgrid was proposed [5]–[6]. According to the types of the voltage and current in the power system, the microgrid can be classified as AC microgrid, DC microgrid and AC-DC hybrid microgrid. The superiority of DC microgrid can be summarized as: (1) It is no need to control frequency and reactive power. (2) The conversion losses among dc loads, output sources and inverters are reduced. (3) The concept of synchronization with the AC power utility grid can be neglected. On account of above reasons, DC microgird is being spotlighted as system to achieve the aim of efficiency utilizing distributed energy and reliability of power supply for loads [7]–[11]. In the DC microgrid, the balance of power is only reflected by the DC bus voltage, thus keeping DC bus voltage constant is the hinge to realize instantaneous power balance in the system [12]–[17].
