Photovoltaic‐battery powered grid connected system using multi‐structural adaptive circular noise estimation control

Abstract

Abstract The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources results in an interruptible and inadequate power. The integration of the battery energy storage to renewable energy sources provides reliable and continuous power to the loads. Further, the high penetration of renewable energy sources raises the power quality problems in the grid. This work deals with performance improvement of PV‐battery energy storage based energy conversion system achieved through implementing a multi‐structural adaptive circular noise estimation control for its grid connected mode. The control is developed for the grid side voltage source converter, which provides the power quality improvement and automated transition from grid connected mode to standalone mode or vice‐versa. It provides multi‐functional features such as harmonics extraction, DC offset elimination, and power quality improvement in PV‐battery energy storage based energy conversion system even at nonlinear loading condition in grid connected mode. In standalone mode, the amplitude and waveform of load voltage are controlled sinusoidal by the voltage control. Performance of PV‐battery energy storage based energy conversion system is studied to validate the acceptability of these controls according to the IEEE‐519 standard.
