Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop a photovoltaic module array with an energy storage system that has equalizing charge/discharge controls for regulating the power supply to the grid. Firstly, the boost converter is used in conjunction with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) such that the photovoltaic module array (PVMA) can output maximum power at any time. The battery equalizing charge/discharge architecture is composed of multiple sets of bidirectional buck–boost soft-switching converters in serial connection in order to achieve zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) so that when the charge/discharge power is above 150 W, the converter efficiency can be increased by 3%. The voltage and current signals from the battery are captured and input into the digital signal processor (DSP) to establish an equalizing charge/discharge control rule. For the output voltage control of the bidirectional buck–boost soft-switching converter, the dynamic mode is derived by first using the step response at chosen operating point, then quantitatively designing the controller parameters for the converter, so that the output voltage response can meet the pre-defined performance specifications. Finally, actual test results prove that the equalizing charge/discharge time of the quantitative design controller is shortened by more than 10% when compared to the traditional proportional-integral (P-I) controller regardless of charging or discharging; this also proves that the design of the photovoltaic module array with an energy storage system (ESS) that has equalizing charge/discharge controls is valid.
