Robust Frequency-Decoupling-Based Power Split of Battery/Supercapacitor Hybrid Energy Storage Systems in DC Microgrids

Abstract

: A frequency-decoupling-based power split was used in this study to manage a direct-current microgrid (DC-MG)-based PV and hybridized energy storage system (HESS), which consisted of a battery and a supercapacitor. The HESS control integrated a dual-loop structure for bus voltage regulation and recovery and HESS charge/discharge control. Hysteresis current control (HCC) tracked the supercapacitor setpoint current using low-pass filtering (LPF) control. The system reliability was assessed using pulsing, smooth, and disturbed PV and load waveforms with standard and advanced LPF methods. The Matlab simulation results confirmed a superior HESS control performance under varying resource waveforms. Key performance indexes (KPIs) were used to evaluate the bus voltage, HESS current management
