Abstract

This article employs a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to investigate voltage stability in a PV-based DC microgrid. Several photovoltaic (PV) modules, a DC-DC converter, and loads make up the microgrid. Due to the widespread use of intermittent PV power, voltage stability is a crucial problem for DC microgrids and is difficult to accomplish. This study proposes an FLC-based voltage control technique that leverages input factors including PV output power, DC-DC converter duty cycle, and load current to identify the best course of action for preserving the system's voltage stability. The FLC's performance is assessed by simulation, and it is meant to be resilient to parameter fluctuations and uncertainties. The simulation results demonstrate that the suggested FLC-based control strategy successfully maintains the microgrid's voltage stability under a variety of operational circumstances, including changing solar irradiance and load variations. Moreover, the FLC performs better than other control methods.

Abstract

This research suggests a control technique that makes use of a microgrid's energy storage and to enable low voltage ride through (LVRT) process with a flexible dynamic voltage support (DVS) system. First, the requirements for the microgrid's maximum DVS are stated, together with an explanation of how these requirements depend on the characteristics of the analogous network that the microgrid sees. In order to create a flexible DVS regardless of the changing system circumstances, reference signals for currents that are derived from maximum voltage tracking technique are suggested in this research. These signals take into account the challenges involved with real time parameter assessment in the context of transient voltage disruptions. Second, a control scheme is suggested to allow a microgrid's energy storage-based LVRT operation. Thirdly, a novel approach to energy storage sizing for LVRT operation is offered, taking into account the corresponding network characteristics, grid code requirements, and the rated current value of the power electronic converter. Real-time MATLAB simulations for low-voltage symmetrical faults are used to validate the suggested control technique.
