Abstract

DC microgrid is supposed to be a feasible solution to reduce the negative impact of electric vehicle (EV) fast charging on the electric grid and improve the penetration of photovoltaics (PV) generation. In this paper, an improved decentralized Virtual-battery based droop control with the capability of bus voltage maintenance, load power dispatch and SOC balance of the energy storage system (ESS) is proposed to ensure the autonomous and stable operation of the DC microgrid. The reference output voltage and virtual resistance in the droop control loop are altered dynamically based on the Virtual-battery model of the ESS. The coordinated control among the PV-ESS-Grid integrated system is realized through the primary Bus-Signaling control, where the reference voltages at which the control modes of the PV array and the grid are switched are designed based on the VirtualOCV of the ESS. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated in MATLAB/Simulink environment with an equivalent bus capacitance-based model where the EV charging profile is obtained from real-world charging data of a fast charging station. The merits of the control strategy including higher PV utilization, less frequent connection of the grid and more precise voltage tracking are highlighted in comparison with the conventional droop control strategy. Finally, the sizing of the ESSs is optimized based on the total cost of the DC microgrid, including the daily electricity cost purchased from the grid and the depreciation cost of the ESSs based on the expanded capacity degradation model of Li-ion batteries.
