Abstract

Microgrids are the solution to accommodate high penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) by achieving good coordination. However, in India, many households do not have access to electricity and some has interrupted and poor quality of electric power supply. The reason for this is large number of houses in remote areas are remaining off grid and which are connected with the grid have long hours of load shedding because shortage of power. Solar PV based DC microgrids with energy storage technologies in low- and medium-income households provides solution to above mentioned challanges. This paper presents a solar PV and BESS based DC microgrid with MPPT and BESS controller and energy management system. The solar PV and the battery energy storage system (BESS) are integrated with the help of dc-dc converters. The load requirements of small society of low demand households can be easily and cost effectively full filled by the proposed PV system and energy storage systems with energy management system.
