Abstract

The hybrid combination of photovoltaic (PV) panels and energy storage systems (ESS) has become popular in PV power plants (PVPPs), in order to comply with new grid codes and standards and provide grid support functionalities. A shaping strategy of the dc-link voltage of the PVPP, the same as the voltage reference of the grid-connected inverter, is proposed in this paper. The main contribution of the proposed control algorithm is to simultaneously achieve several control aspects, i.e., a) shaping the dc-link voltage same as the required voltage reference and reduces the inverter switching, which reduces the switching losses, b) smoothing the injected power to the grid thanks to the ESS, and c) Improving the harmonic performance of the grid-connected inverter that reduces the size of the grid-connection filter. The performance of the proposed control algorithm is verified on a hybrid PV-ESS simulation platform under various operational conditions and results are compared with the conventional solutions.
