Abstract
PV-supplied DC microgrids (PV-DCMGs) are well suited to powering many off-grid applications. Droop control is an effective approach for managing sources in microgrids because it improves system reliability and scalability. However, conventional droop control may not satisfy the requirements of PV-DCMGs, in which loads must connect and disconnect dynamically according to solar-power availability. This paper proposes a droop-based method for operating multiple loads in a PV-DCMG. The line voltage serves as a signal for allocating power among the loads and determining their connection status. A key requirement is a smooth line-voltage transient to preserve stability and avoid unnecessary load connection or disconnection. The paper presents the control logic and procedures for sizing the bus capacitance to achieve effective and stable operation. It also analyzes the effects of key non-idealities in the DC-microgrid model and proposes mitigation methods. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control logic and component-sizing procedures for managing the available power in a PV-DCMG.
The reliable integration of multiple renewable energy sources into autonomous DC microgrid requires effective power sharing to ensure stable operation. Conventional droop control schemes often face issues, such as loop current sharing and inadequate voltage regulation. This paper introduces an adaptive droop contro...

DC microgrids are low- or medium-voltage networks designed to connect and manage DC-based sources and loads. A key challenge in operating DC microgrids is maintaining the DC voltage within certain predefined limits while ensuring its stability. Droop control, the most common method towards addressing this challenge, en...

Photovoltaic (PV) systems based on renewable energy sources are the most common, and together with battery energy storage systems (BESS), they form a hybrid power supply. When riding through the islanded mode, the operation of the PV system consists of control for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) or generation curta...

Droop control has commonly been used with distributed generators for relating their terminal parameters with power generation. The generators have also been assumed to have enough capacities for supplying the required power. This is however not always true, especially with renewable sources with no or insufficient stor...

This paper presents an optimized control strategy that enables a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system to operate as a static synchronous compensator (PV-STATCOM) to damp power oscillations in the transmission system, using an arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA). The key contribution of this work is a synchronize...
