A Critical Review on DC Microgrids Voltage Control and Power
The control of DC bus voltage, power management, effective power split among the ESDs, and state of charge (SoC) restorations are important in a DC microgrid.
In conclusion, this review examined the design, implementation, and performance of real-life DC microgrids. These systems show great potential to transform energy systems by integrating renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and supporting decentralized power generation.
A microgrid is an emerging technology that encompasses different distributed energy sources (DESs), storage units, power electronic converters, and electrical load. The most recent developments in power electronics have enabled DC microgrids to meet the required specifications at a reasonable cost and in a smooth approach.
Solar energy is an important part of a DC microgrid, with the main goals to save energy costs and reduce dependency on the AC power grid. A dedicated power converter conditions the variable voltage from the solar panels to a stable DC link voltage.
This article critically reviews two main aspects of DC microgrids: voltage control and power management. The challenges and opportunities for voltage control and power management in DC microgrids are discussed.
The control of DC bus voltage, power management, effective power split among the ESDs, and state of charge (SoC) restorations are important in a DC microgrid.
