Abstract

Efficiency, standard and security of a micro-grid can be tested by measuring the voltage regulation in the DC bus. Photovoltaic micro-grid are prone to time invariant and non-linearity due to variation in solar irradiance. Energy storage device is incorporated to overcome such variations. Traditionally using PI controllers, we can control the charging and dis-charging of battery which only regulates voltage in the bus but it fails to control the fluctuations in the DC bus. Therefore, Fuzzy PI controller is proposed in this paper where it employs the intelligent controlling method thereby reducing the fluctuations in the DC bus.
