Power-Sharing Analysis of Hybrid Microgrid Using Iterative Learning Controller (ILC) considering Source and Load Variation

Abstract

In this study, a novel iterative learning controller is proposed to maintain power balance in hybrid microgrid considering source and load variation. A hybrid microgrid comprising of solar, battery, utility grid, and AC and DC loads are developed with ac and dc bus in MATLAB Simulink environment. The primary or local level control is implemented for solar and battery for maintaining stable dc bus voltage. The secondary or system level control is implemented by controlling the interlinking converter placed between ac and dc bus to supply stable voltage along with the smooth grid synchronization and ensuring the proper real power sharing between dc/ac buses. The simulation studies reveal that the proposed iterative controller has efficient and effective control over the voltage and power in hybrid microgrid under various modes of operation such as autonomous and grid connected modes.
