Research on Grid-Connected Control Strategy of Photovoltaic (PV) Energy Storage Based on Constant Power Operation

Abstract

In order to effectively mitigate the issue of frequent fluctuations in the output power of a PV system, this paper proposes a working mode for PV and energy storage battery integration. To address maximum power point tracking of PV cells, a fuzzy control-based tracking strategy is adopted. The principles and corresponding mathematical models are analyzed for the three-phase voltage PWM converter and bidirectional DC/DC converter, while feedforward decoupling double closed loop, constant power (PQ), and constant voltage charge/discharge control strategies are proposed. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technology is utilized to generate power switching tube driver signals. Finally, a simulation model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink for system analysis. The results demonstrate that the proposed method enables constant grid-connected power generation and constant voltage charging of the energy storage battery when the PV cell’s power generation exceeds that of the grid. When insufficient solar power generation occurs, both the PV system and energy storage battery work together to achieve constant grid-connected power.
