The integration of renewable energy sources into isolated microgrids introduces significant power fluctuations due to their intermittent nature. This study addresses the need for advanced power smoothing methods to enhance the stability of isolated networks. An innovative adaptive strategy is presented, combining photovoltaic solar generation with vehicle-to-grid technology, utilizing an enhanced adaptive moving average filter with fuzzy logic control. The primary objective is to dynamically optimize the time frame of the Li-ion battery energy storage system for immediate power stabilization, leveraging the high energy density and rapid response capabilities inherent in electric vehicle batteries. The methodology encompasses data acquisition from photovoltaic panels, definition of fuzzy logic control rules, and implementation of the proposed method within a computer-controlled system connected to a bidirectional three-phase inverter. Experimental results highlight the proposed method’s superiority over conventional moving averages and ramp-rate filters.
