Microgrid systems may employ various combinations of system designs to connect generating units, and the number of different system designs increases exponentially upon adding different brands of inverters to a system. Each of the different microgrid system designs must be set up in a way that it works in balance. An example of an unbalanced microgrid system is given in this paper, with the main issue being the non-predictive excess power, which causes a frequency rise and faulty conditions in the microgrid system. There are many simple options for controlling excess power in a microgrid system; however, none of these options solve the issue permanently while ensuring excess power control without affecting the system’s accumulated energy—the battery state-of-charge (SOC) level. Therefore, there is a need to create a variable average power load (VAPL) device to utilize the excess power at a rate it is changing to avoid a reduction in accumulated energy. The main goal of this study is to review average power control methods for the VAPL device and provide guidance to researchers in selecting the most suitable method for controlling excess power. A key finding of the paper is a suggested optimal average power control method ensuring that the VAPL device is versatile to implement, economically attractive, and not harmful to other devices in a microgrid system.

“…• Pump storage, V2G/G2V, and fuel cell-pump storage is not a versatile solution in the first place [18], and the control of the variable pump storage power is available; however, such versatile availability is compatible only for large-scale solutions [17] and is complicated for residential solutions [19,20]. Fuel cells have a low cycle efficiency [31] and complicated versatility [28,30], possibly because of the lack of solution supply for such a system.…”

A Grid-Tied Inverter with Renewable Energy Source Integration in an Off-Grid System with a Functional Experimental Prototype

Renewable energy implementation in residential-scale grid-connected systems is already popular, and the growth of such systems is increasing every year. Grid-connected solar systems are relatively simple to install and operate; in addition, such power plants are relatively inexpensive compared to other renewable sources and grid-connection options. However, most residential grid-connected system owners believe that they will become independent from a distribution system operator (DSO) once a renewable energy source (RES) becomes available. As a rule, after installation, without DSOs, grid-connected systems are typically shut down due to a faulty grid, despite RES availability; therefore, such RES grid-connected system owners at later phases aim to become at least partially independent of DSOs. After such a change, the importance of developing a grid-tied inverter connection to an off-grid system will increase. While developing such a system connection the main issue analyzed in this paper is to control the excess power without affecting the accumulated energy levels in a system. As a result, a solution for such a system structure is presented with its main advantage to control excess power without affecting the accumulated energy level.
