Performance Investigation of Hybrid Shipboard Microgrid using ESOGI-FLL Technique

Abstract

The issue of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships has garnered significant interest from stakeholders within the maritime industry. This work considers a hybrid shipboard microgrid powered by a battery energy storage (BES), solar photovoltaic array (SPVA), and diesel generator (DG) set. The enhanced second-order generalized integrator-based frequency-locked loop (ESOGI-FLL) technique synchronizes the DG set and the shore grid at different operating modes to supply uninterruptable power to loads. The propulsion motor, nonlinear service loads, DG set, and sources equipped with power-electronic inverter result in power quality challenges within a hybrid shipboard microgrid. Thus, the ESOGI-FLL algorithm is utilized for the mitigation of power quality issues of hybrid shipboard microgrid. The hybrid microgrid is modeled in MATLAB/Simulink at different operating conditions and validated on a real-time test simulator.
