Multifunctional Control for PV Integrated Battery Energy Storage System with Enhanced Power Quality

Abstract

Abstract: This modest paper presents a study on the energy quality produced by a multifunction system consisting of a Photovoltaic (PV) power source connected to a battery. A three-level inverter was used in the system studied for the purpose of improving the quality of energy injected into the grid and decreasing the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is used for the purpose of ensuring optimal production of photovoltaic energy. In addition, another FLC controller is used to ensure DC bus stabilization. The considered system was implemented in the Matlab/Simpower environment. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed inverter at three levels in improving the quality of energy injected from the system into the grid.
