Development of Power Control Technique for Power Management in a Cluster of PV - Integrated Houses

Abstract

This paper presents the development of power control technique for managing the power flow in a cluster of roof-top PV-connected houses, in islanding mode. A centralized control technique has been developed for controlling the clusters of roof-top PV-connected house i.e. PV based ac microgrid. Every roof-top PV-connected house is containing a battery storage system and load. The battery is integrated to ac microgrid via three-phase bidirectional voltage source converter. The developed technique has been aimed to control the flow of power among the PV-connected houses in islanding mode. The modelling and testing of proposed system along with the developed control technique are conducted in MATLAB environment for validating the robustness of proposed technique, under various operating scenarios.
