Abstract

In recent years, photovoltaic (PV)/battery electric hybrid systems have sparked intense scientific attention. Decentralized network power producing systems that use PV/battery electric hybrid units often require two independent converter topologies: an unidirectional and a bidirectional converter. This study develops an energy monitoring and management approach for Photovoltaic combination decentralised power generation systems that employs a single integrated bipolar bidirectional dc–dc power converter. The overall power consumption and durability are increased since the integrated bidirectional converter shares switching components with the full-bridge dc–dc converter. To realise power imbalances across three ports in different operation circumstances, the suitable energy monitoring and management approach is provided, taking into account both maximum power point tracking (MPPT) utility and battery charging/discharging monitoring. The simulations have been performed with the MATLAB/Simulink software to justify the implementation results of the constructed PV/battery hybrid decentralised power network with affiliated control strategies, in which the MPPT control scheme and the battery charging/discharging control circuit are facilitated in various operating instances.
