Supervision of a PV system with storage connected to the power line and design of a battery protection system

Abstract

This work presents the supervision strategy in an Arduino card PV generator with storage connected to the low voltage grid. The studied system is composed of a photovoltaic generator, a boost converter, a buck-boost converter and a singlephase inverter. The power of the PV module depends on atmospheric conditions. Batteries are often confronted with overload problems and underload. The objective of this article is to manage the charging and discharging of the batteries, taking into account their protection against overload and under load and supervise the system. For this, supervision algorithms implemented in Arduino developed. Simulation results under Matlab show that the Arduino board has ensured the protection of the batteries and system supervision.

Design and implementation of secured power grid system with information and communication technology

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind presenting a novel power grid system, for monitoring and controlling to integrate power grid with renewable sources on wide area network, by using Information and Communication Technologies ICT, but, some similar previous investigations to the current work have been reported in [26,27]. The work in [26] presents the supervision of a PV system with storage connected to the power line and design of a battery protection system.…”

“…Comparing with the previous studied models proposed in [25][26][27], our model is more compatible for monitoring and controlling power sources in wide area network, this can help in monitoring and controlling the power system even when the sources are far from each other, moreover IGBT switch can cut the power lines even with high current, but the switch relays that were exploited in [25][26][27] are only useful when power grids have low currents, micro-grid with low voltage as an example, furthermore, in those proposed findings the PV only controlled the battery charge, However, within this work, we improved this issue by adding IGBT switch to charge the battery from the power grid when is needed, ICTs make our model as a part of the grid system, which controls all power grid and not only isolated solution to control part of the grid.…”

“…This is what has allowed the card to ensure both energy management. The study in [27] presents a MATLAB Simulink of PV system with battery storage using a bidirectional DC-DC converter. The Incremental Conductance (InC) algorithm was chosen to be used to track the maximum power point of the solar panel because it provides the optimal duty cycle to generate the PWM signals for the switching devices of the DC-DC converter stage.…”

“…However, the previous investigations models presented in [26,27] may not be able to monitor and control the (2020) 2:2016 | https://doi.org/10.1007/s42452-020-03820-w power sources in a wide area network, both studies have used switch relays, which are convenient only when power grids have low currents, micro-grid with low voltage as an example. Moreover, such work proposed approaches to only make the PV controlling the battery charge.…”

Special issue on emerging trends, challenges and applications in cloud computing

“…An effective electrical distribution network with the support of an efficient battery-base energy storage system is essential for a nation's development and net-zero carbon goal. The next paper presents a supervision strategy in an Arduino card photovoltaic generator with storage connected to the low voltage grid, to address the overload and underload problems of batteries [8]. This is implemented by integrating supervision algorithms to the Arduino card, and the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system for battery protection and system supervision.…”
