Abstrakt: In a DC microgrid, the main aim of power management is to maintain the balance of active power between renewable sources, storage batteries, loads, and distribution grid which can be represented by stable DC-link voltage. This paper proposes an adaptive strategy for power flow management of a stand-alone hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) consisting of a wind turbine generator, photovoltaic cell, battery energy storage (BES), and load by optimizing the gain of the PI controller in the battery storage system using the particle swarm optimization-based firefly algorithm (PSO-FA). A part of the PSO algorithm is utilized for improving velocity and attractiveness of the firefly algorithm thereby increasing the rate of convergence in the PI controller. This control technique improves gain constant by generating control pulses for charging and discharging of the BES system in order to make optimum use of renewable energy sources and to stabilize the voltage of the DC-link. From the simulations done in MATLAB/SIMULINK, it is observed that conventional trial- and error-based PI tuning produces high overshoot, whereas the proposed method produces better performance with less overshoot. Maintaining constant DC-link voltage, the instantaneous power generation under various conditions of generation and load consumption is managed by monitoring the state of charge of battery. This approach can be used as a complement for improving the performance of PI controllers designed by conventional methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
