“…This section investigates the estimated lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery lifetime by implementing the abovementioned dcMG control strategies (s1-s4) and evaluates their impact on the battery lifetime. The simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink using Sydney solar irradiance profile obtained from PVsyst Meteonorm software [14], and the annual generic day-focus (DF) daily load profile (load demand is high at daytime and low at night) of Australian households, which is explained in [15]. In this case study, the PV capacity is designed based on a situation, in which its generation during the winter still can fulfill the demand.…”

“…This section investigates the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid control strategy in prolonging the battery lifetime. The annual load profile used in this study is a generic double-peak daily load profile of Australian households, which is explained in [37]. The average daily energy consumption is considered to be 25.2 kWh and it varies according to the season, which is the highest during winter (May-Aug).…”

In stand-alone dc microgrids, battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are conventionally used for regulating the dclink voltage, causing a continuous battery operation. Though operating the photovoltaic (PV) system at its maximum power point yields minimum battery discharge current, the opposite is true for battery charging current. Therefore, reducing the battery charging current based on its state-of-charge (SoC) and the amount of available PV surplus power (which can be treated as virtually stored energy) is an opportunity for improving the battery life. The main objective of the control strategy proposed in this paper is to prolong the battery lifetime by reducing the charging current and keeping the battery SoC at lower values if the PV power is enough to supply the loads. Additionally, the PV system is used as the primary asset to regulate the microgrid voltage. The dynamic performance of the proposed control strategy is validated with experimental tests under various operating conditions. Furthermore, its effectiveness in prolonging the battery lifetime is evaluated using an aging model of a Li-ion battery (without loss of generality) by simulated case studies.
