Abstract

Renewable energy systems are becoming an unavoidable trend worldwide, particularly solar energy, which has the advantage of being a clean and easy-to-use energy source. In solar energy systems, lithium-ion batteries are commonly utilized to store energy. In recent years, researchers and developers have been interested in guaranteeing safety when using battery systems and enhancing their performance. In this paper, a hybrid power configuration combining a stand-alone photovolatic (PV) power system and a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) is constructed to enhance the efficiency of solar energy harvesting. In addition, the battery control strategy is designed to ensure the safety of the hybrid power system, meet the load power requirements and stabilize the voltage on the DC bus. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy, real-time simulations based on a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system are performed using a combination of a Typhoon HIL404 system and a TMS320F28069 controller. The obtained results show that the hybrid power system and control strategy ensure the system performance, the battery storage system operates safely and stabilizes the voltage on the DC bus under different load operating conditions.
