Abstract
The micro-grid deployments are growing with independently, power system designers,
manufacturers and researchers for the applications where the loads are more efficient association with
extra output sources such as Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and Photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Using renewable source as main sources for micro-grid system also can avoid from the pollution to occur.
Energy storage when combined with PV system can provide a stronger economic performance, as well as
an added benefit of backup power for critical loads. This project proposed control strategies for integration
of BESS and PV in a micro-grid. The operation enables the maximum PV and BESS utilization during
different operating condition of the micro-grid, grid connected, islanded mode or a process between these
two operations. The project will focus on analyzing the performance between photovoltaic system and
battery in the simulations of micro-grids system and validate the simulation result using
MATLAB/SIMULINK software. After the simulation was analyzed, the understanding of benefit in using
renewable energy source as main power supply with support from battery energy storage to supply the
power to the loads and power managements is realized in the different modes on micro-grid which is grid
connected or islanded states. When the power generation from PV system was not enough to
accommodate electric loads, the BESS or from secondary side of transformer will supply the insufficient
power.

1. Introduction
1.1. Research Background
Renewable energy rise as an alternative energy that will not run out and can prevent
pollution from occurring. Many researchers became interested in the field of power system from
current conventional power system which has been long used into smart grids involving micro-
grids [1]. The technologies for renewable energy source such as photovoltaic and wind have a
fast development uses in integration grid to less the operational cost for loads in using the
energy either to generate a DC or an AC power source [2].
Microgrids increase dependability locally through the establishment of a reliability
development plan that integrates redundant distribution, smart switches, power generation and
energy storage. Local power generation and storage let portions of the grid and critical facilities
to function independent of the larger grid when needed and thus eliminate blackouts.
The engagement of PV generation and energy storage system use in micro-grid system
get more attention between researchers for studying in micro-grid system. In grid integration, PV
supposed to work in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to supply the accessible power
and the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) necessary to deliver the difference power in
case the PV system did not meet the requirement of total load. The main grid is likely to support
the balance of power and regulate the voltage.
In micro-grid system, the customer demanding domestic and industrial is all about the
lesser operational cost and electrical energy uses. Other than that, conventional distribution
networks that accept distributed generation connections may face serious difficulty when its

control and protection functions become more complicated. This incurs a burden to the network
operation and some technical limitations will appear when a great number of distributed
generations are installed [3]. A normal power system usually full supported from main grid
power for a factory or house to operate. To avoid this problem, the research about the benefit
and performance of PV system and battery energy storage micro-grid must be finding and new
innovation must be made to settle the problem.
1.2. Micro-grids
Micro-grid that is a local grid which can connect and disconnect from the conventional
grid to function autonomously and also help minimize the grid disturbances to reinforce the grid
resilences. In micro-grids which are low-voltage AC grids, often use diesel generators, and are
installed by the community. It also can become as an essential purpose in changing the local
electricity grid system. The different between traditional electricity grid (macro-grid) and micro-
grid is the scale of the grids. Micro-grid is more like a small-scale grids compare to macro-grids.
Micro-grids utilize with combination of the different energy resources, such as solar hybrid or
using smart wind turbine power systems which can decrease the cause of the pollution [4], The
Microgrids system as shown in Figure 1.
Micro-grids can supply the thermal and electricity power plus supporting and reducing
the voltage sag will improve the quality of the power. From the utility’s perspective, utilization of
distributed energy sources can likely lower the appeal for distribution and transmission facilities.
The loads will decrease the flows in transmission and circuit of distribution with important effect
which is capability to possibly substitute for network assets if distributed generation positioned
close to loads. Furthermore, the service quality will be increased if the existences of the
generation meet the demand of the customers. By reducing congestion and aiding restoration
after faults, micro-grids can deliver the network support in times of stress. The mitigation of
climate changes and the decreasing of emissions may be provided by development of micro-
grids. This is because existing and emerging technologies for distributed generation units
derived from renewable sources and micro source that are categorized by very low emissions.

2. Modeling Process
2.1. Photovoltaic System
Solar photovoltaic is the method where the electricity formed from sunlight radiation. A
semi conducting materials are used to make the photovoltaic cell where the sunlight strikes the
cells, it is transformed into electricity. The solar cells are constructed from some thin layers of
silicon. The electrons inside the cell are knocked loose when the PV panels were strikes by
sunlight radiation.
The negative electron gets pushed away from silicon atom by the immersion of photon
and positive hole remains. The positive hole and the unbound electron together are neutral. So,
the greater the solar radiation, the flow of electricity will become much more. The electricity was
produce and delivered to energy distribution station thus to load or utility as shown in Figure 2.

2.1.1. Photovoltaic Array Model
Photovoltaic cells contain of p-n junction made up in a thin layer of semiconductor.
Monocrystalline and polycrystalline are the common material for PV cells. The ideal solar cell is
the one in which a current supply is connected in antiparallel with a diode. When the cell is
exposed to sunlight, the direct current generated which varies linearly with solar radiation. The
model can be improved, including the effect of a shunt resistance and series resistance. The
single-diode model for PV cells equivalent circuit is presented in Figure 3
Figure 3. The model for equivalent circuit of a photovoltaic cell
2.1.2. Maximum Power Point Tracking Control Algorithm
A maximum power point tracker is an electronic DC to DC converter that optimizes the
match between PV panels and the battery storage or conventional grid to maximize the output
power [5]. The solar radiation and temperature have an impact on the output power
characteristic of the photovoltaic system where the purpose of irradiance and temperature
curves are nonlinear.
Moreover, during the day, the solar radiation has unexpected variation. For these
circumstances, the photovoltaic systems operating point need to shift to maximize the
generated energy when the maximum power point of the photovoltaic shifts continuously. Thus,
to maintain the photovoltaic array’s operating point at its maximum power point, the maximum
power point tracking techniques was used.
2.1.3. Constant Voltage Method
A constant voltage method is the steady voltage of MPP algorithm that spontaneously
regulated the reference voltage for unpredictable environmental conditions. The concept of this
method was shown in Figure 4. A simple analog feed forward pulse width modulation controller
is creating as the weather conditions differ to track the maximum power point of a solar cell
array. The open circuit voltage is tested while not busting the entire source from the load since
the circumstance with other constant voltage MPPT methods was configured by solar array
source [6].

2.1.4. Incremental Conductance Methods
Based on the observation that using formula holds at the MPPT for incremental
conductance methods [18];
(1)
where IPV and VPV are the PV array current and voltage, respectively.
When the ideal operating point in the P-V plane would be to the right of the MPP, we
have (dIPV/dVPV)+(IPV/VPV) < 0, while the ideal operating would be to the left of the maximum
power point, we have (dIPV/dVPV) + (IPV/VPV) > 0. The maximum power point will be followed by
differentiating the immediate conductance (IPV/VPV) to incremental conductance (dIPV/dVPV).
Hence the mark of the quantity (dIPv/dVPV) + (IPV/VPV) shows
the appropriate direction of perturbation causing to the MPPT. The operation of photovoltaic
array is retaining at this point and the perturbation ended unless a change in dIPV is noted once
maximum power point was achieve. In this instance, the algorithm decrement or increment of
Vref to track the new maximum power point [7].
When the MPPT has been achieved, it is theoretically likely to discover when the
perturbation can be stopped by the incremental algorithm. The incremental algorithm provides a
great performance under quickly shifting atmospheric conditions. The advantages for
incremental conductance techniques are the efficiency is high which is about 98% and the
reliability is accurate. While for disadvantages, the design complexity is more difficult. The cost
for this design also expensive and more complex compare to other technique [8].
2.2. Battery Energy Storage System
Energy storage can provide much more versatility as well as balancing to the grid,
offering an important backup in order to intermittent renewable energy. It may enhance the
controlling regarding to distribution networks, increasing efficiency and reducing the cost. By
doing this, it could convenience the market benefit of renewable energy, ensuring higher
security for energy supply, speed up the carbonization of utility grid, and also enhance the
protection and efficiency for transmission and distribution of electricity.
For distribution area, BESS can regulate the electricity source from variable renewable
energy sources to the low or medium voltage of utility grid to match up with load demand. This
also happen by managing the power flow and keeping voltage in suitable range and mitigating
blockage.
2.2.1. Photovoltaic Output Smoothing with Energy Storage
The battery was functional as to increase the power to the photovoltaic output or
decrease which is to smooth out the excessive frequency of the photovoltaic power that happen
through interval with passing cloud shadows over the photovoltaic panels. While preventing
overworking the electrical battery when it comes to capacity and ramp functionality, the control
system is pushed with the challenge to decreasing temporary photovoltaic output variability. The
control framework provides two extra inputs in order for battery to respond. For instance, the
TELKOMNIKA ISSN: 1693-6930 

actual battery might react to photovoltaic variability, load variability or area control error or a mix
of the three [9].
The system parameter supposed to be fixed photovoltaic system rating, the rating of
converters and size of the battery capacity. A modify in the nominal parameter values needed to
generate continued adequate overall performance should be effected with different battery
parameter values. The result of temperature, charge or discharge rating, equalization and
efficiency charging wasn’t regarded. This kind of improvement might be included into the model.
However, their effect on the entire controller functionality is just not likely to be very
considerate [10].
2.2.2. Control of BESS in Microgrids for Islanded Operation
The actual microgrids works in grid connected mode, however when fault happen in the
upstream grid, it will detach as well as change into islanded mode. For grid connected mode,
the managing power at the point of common coupling is essential management operation as
opposed to the frequency and voltage. The harmonized control strategy involving diesel
generator and battery energy storage system is required for the controlling the frequency and
voltage when inquired in islanded mode. Almost all Plus Integral Controller (PIC) own set Plus
Integral (PI) gains however, real time current gains are usually applied to PI controller applying
Fuzzy logic. Therefore, output feature of battery energy storage system utilized real time current
gains to PI controller by applying fuzzy logic is quicker and much more precise that using fixed
gains [11]. Overall configuration of fuzzy logic controller as shown in Figure 5.
Fuzzy logic offers strength to nonlinear design evaluation as well as don’t have to use
mathematical model when comparing to general PI controller. Therefore, utilizing Fuzzy PI
controller at battery energy battery storage system will be much more precise and faster than PI
controller at battery energy storage system. Beside to robustness is much more outstanding
than PI controller [12]

2.3. System Configuration and Operation
2.3.1. The Micro-grid Structure
The micro-grid design is shown in Figure 6. The micro-grid systems are made up of PV
system connected through battery energy storage and three of loads. The primary source for
this system is PV system which is to operate at MPPT. The BESS is use to balance the
difference in power between the PV power system and load demand in islanding mode. The
simulation of the micro-grid system will be designed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software as
shown in Figure 7. The duration for simulation to be running was 86400 second (24 hour).

2.3.2. Photovoltaic System
Solar photovoltaic is the method where the electricity formed from sunlight radiation. In
the simulation, the total power output for PV was set by using 1-D lookup table and the example
was shown in Figure 8 which is from 401 minute to 412 minute. As example, the output of PV
system at 401 minute was 1250W. The maximum power can be generating by PV system was
5kW.

2.3.3. The Loads in the Simulation
In the micro-grid system simulation, there are three of loads of the system. The loads
can compare as a house or factory in the micro-grid system. In the simulation, the total power
for each load was set by using 1-D lookup table and some of loads data was shown in Figure 9
which is from 585 minute to 596 minute. As shown in Figure 9, at 592 minute the total power
need by load was 1312.5W. The maximum power need for each load was 2.5kW. The condition
for power needs by each loads are same. At load 3, there’s a circuit breaker that will activate at
28800s (8.00am).

2.3.4. Modeling of Battery Energy Storage System
The model of the battery was use in the simulation are example from
MATLAB/SIMULINK software which call battery simple dynamic where the capacity of the
battery was 1000Ah and the rating was 150V, 30A/h which means the maximum power
generated by battery was 4.5kW.
Figure 10. The structure of battery controller
The battery control is performed by battery controller. The system performs by tracking
control of the current which means that the active power which flows into power system from the
secondary side of the pole mounted transformer is set to 0. Thus, the active power for
secondary side of the pole mounted transformer is continuously around zero. When the battery
controller is performed, the micro-grid system was in islanded mode. The structure of battery
controller was shown in Figure 10. In the simulation, the battery control performs from 0s
(12.00am) to 43200s (12.00pm) and 64800s (6.00pm) to 86400s (12.00am).
2.3.5. Operating Modes of Grid
The system must run with connected to the utility grid or islanding mode where the
battery controller was performed. The management of the system has to control the bus voltage
in different operating modes. The different modes are described in Table 1.

In mode 1, the main grid is connecting to micro-grids and operating high load condition
which is the PV is working in maximum power point and energy storage charging or off state. In
mode 2, this usually happen when low load process. The PV and BESS are in the same state in
mode 1 but the main grid will deliver the power when the power is insufficient.

2 Receive MPPT Charging/off
3 Off MPPT Discharging/off
4 Off MPPT Charging/off
5 Receive OFF MPPT Off
Operating mode 3 and 4 is occur during islanding state of the micro-grid where PV is
working in MPPT and the BESS will be charging or discharging for balancing the insufficient
power. For mode 5, the BESS is fully charged in islanded micro-grid and the power need for
load is less than maximum power of PV system.
3. Result and Discussion
3.1. The Micro-grid System
The main power sources for this micro-grids system are photovoltaic system and
battery energy storage. The PV system maximum power generate at 5kW as RES. The power
source for this micro-grid was a PV system, from main grid and battery energy storage. The
battery rating was 150V, 30 A/h which is maximum power for the battery storage to deliver was
4.5kW and the capacity of the battery was 1000Ah. If there’s surpluses power in micro grid, the
battery controller will deliver to battery storage or deliver to loads if there’s insufficient power.
When the battery controller is performed, there’s no power from the secondary side of the
transformer. The Figure 8 shows the simulation circuit of the ideal micro-grid. Figure 11 show
the general result of power management of micro-grid in 24-hour duration.

The maximum power for loads to consume as electric loads was 7.5kW. Each load has
2.5kW maximum power demand. The micro-grid is connected to the system power via a pole-
mounted transformer. The solar power generation and the storage battery are DC power
sources converted into single- phase AC. These are both connected to the micro-grid. It is
assumed that in control strategy, the micro-grid does not depend on system power for power
consumption, and required power is provided by solar power generation and the storage to the
extent possible. The analysis of the system will be discussed in the next sub topic.
3.2. Analysis of the Simulation Result
From the simulation result, there are six situations that happen when the simulation was
running. In each situation, it describes the power management between PV system, BESS and
power from the secondary side of the transformer to the load. If the power generation from PV
system was not enough to accommodate electric loads, the BESS or from secondary side of
transformer will supply the insufficient power. It also happens in two conditions which is the
micro-grid system was connected to the grid or in islanded mode.
3.2.1. Situation 1
In this situation which is from 8.00pm until 4.00am, the PV power generation is 0W. This
happen because there’s not have sunlight ray for PV system to convert to electrical energy. As
shown in Figure 12 which is from 0s (12.00am) until 14400s.
Figure 12. The comparison between power (W) of Load, PV, battery storage and secondary
side of transformer when only battery as power supply
3.2.2. Situation 2
At 39600s (11.00am) as shown in the Figure 13, the graph line for power of PV
suddenly change and also the battery. The solar panel of PV system has partial shading which
is leading to the maximum power of the PV system suddenly decreases in 20 second duration
from 4131W to 1239W. While this happen, the battery energy storage supply the insufficient
power 738.7W to the loads. After 20 second duration, the PV system back to normal state. The
battery will support the PV as backup in deliver the insufficient power for loads. The micro-grid
in mode 5 then change to mode 3.

condition
3.2.3. Situation 3
For this situation, the Figure 14 shows that the State of Charge of the battery storage
was increased from 71.47% to 72.85%. This happen because the surpluses power from PV
system delivered to battery storage (charging). The surpluses power did not deliver to main grid
because of the battery controller that was already performed which is from 6.00pm until
12.00pm at the primary side the current was set to zero (as the micro-grid was disconnected
from main grid/islanded state). This situation happens as in mode 4 of the micro-grid.
The charging process begins at 35600s (9.54am) when surpluses power from the PV
system delivered to battery storage. At 38210s (10.37am), the maximum power generate by PV
system was 3992W but the total of power loads demand was 2474W. A 1519W of surpluses
power was delivered to the battery which is leads to battery storage in charging state, Shown in
Figure 15.

state

3.2.4. Situation 4
This situation operates in mode v. From 12.00pm until 6.00pm, the control for the
battery was not active as shown in Figure 16. The SOC of the battery storage was not changed
at 72.85% because there’s no charge or discharge of the battery storage where the power from
PV only was supply to the loads and surplus power was transfer to main grid.
At 44960s (12.30 pm), the total load power was 3295W and the maximum power for PV
system is 4757W which is there got surplus power from PV system, then 1462W surplus power

was supply to main grid as shown in Figure 17 that resulting the changing of secondary side of
transformer power graph line.

3.2.5. Situation 5
In this situation, the point in Figure 18 shown at 63600s (5.40pm) where the total loads
power was 5029W. The maximum power supply from PV system was 3113W. The battery
controller was not performed, so the secondary side of the transformer (main grids) has to
supply the insufficient power which is 1916W to the loads. This condition more focuses in
mode 1.
Figure 18. The comparison power between total loads, main grids, PV system and battery
storage
3.2.6. Situation 6
At 28800s (8.00am), the circuit breaker was set to ON for 30 second at load 1. From the
Figure 19, the total power loads suddenly decrease from 5903W to 4921W. The PV maximum
power at that time was 2157W and the supported power for load from battery suddenly changes
from 3748W to 2764W because of the total loads power was change. The graph for power from
secondary side of the transformer did not change because the battery controller was performed
(islanded mode).

3.2 Cost Estimation
The use of renewable resources can help reduce costs because there is no payment for
using RES as the main source of power systems. If the power system to make full use RES as
primary source, this can indirectly make the cost of electricity consumption is zero. The example
of calculation of electricity cost as in analysis of situation 5 where the total power needs by
loads was 5029W and the maximum power supply by the PV system was 3113W and the
1916W of insufficient power was supplied from main grid.
The cost of the electricity was calculated from this situation as per hour and based on
the calculation of electricity in Malaysia. From the Table 2, it shows that without support from the
PV system, the total cost for power usage was MYR 1.10 compare with support from PV system
which is only MYR 0.43. Thus, PV system helps in reduce the cost of electrical energy uses.
Table 2. The Cost of Power Usage
Power Usage
(kWh) Cost (MYR)
From PV system 3.113 0.00
From Main grid 1.96 0.43
Total Loads 5.029 1.10
4. Conclusion
This project proposes a control strategy for distributed integration of PV and battery
energy storage in micro-grid where the battery controller will track control of the current in
primary side of the transformer thus set the micro-grid system in grid connected or islanded
mode. The understanding of benefit in using renewable energy source as main power supply
with support from battery energy storage to supply the power to the loads and power
managements is realized in the different modes on micro-grid which are grid connected or
islanded states. When the power generation from PV system was not enough to accommodate
electric loads, the BESS or from secondary side of transformer will supply the insufficient power.
The RES also helps in reduce the cost of power usage from main grid. The concept for charging
and discharging for battery was reliable which the charging process is begins when surpluses
power from the PV system delivered to battery storage.
The solar energy is one of renewable energy that safe more money and environment.
Energy storage when combined with PV system can provide a stronger economic performance,
as well as an added benefit of backup power for critical loads. Micro-grid with PV and battery
energy storage can provide energy storage at zero upfront for cost and improvement in
technology.

Using renewable source as main sources for micro-grid system also can avoid from the pollution to occur. Energy storage when combined with PV system can provide a stronger economic performance, as well as an added benefit of backup power for critical loads. This project proposed control strategies for integration of BESS and PV in a micro-grid. The operation enables the maximum PV and BESS utilization during different operating condition of the micro-grid, grid connected, islanded mode or a process between these two operations. The project will focus on analyzing the performance between photovoltaic system and battery in the simulations of micro-grids system and validate the simulation result using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. After the simulation was analyzed, the understanding of benefit in using renewable energy source as main power supply with support from battery energy storage to supply the power to the loads and power managements is realized in the different modes on micro-grid which is grid connected or islanded states. When the power generation from PV system was not enough to accommodate electric loads, the BESS or from secondary side of transformer will supply the insufficient power. Keywords: battery storage, photovoltaic, microgrids and controller Copyright © 2018 Universitas Ahmad Dahlan. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction 1.1. Research Background Renewable energy rise as an alternative energy that will not run out and can prevent pollution from occurring. Many researchers became interested in the field of power system from current conventional power system which has been long used into smart grids involving micro- grids [1]. The technologies for renewable energy source such as photovoltaic and wind have a fast development uses in integration grid to less the operational cost for loads in using the energy either to generate a DC or an AC power source [2]. Microgrids increase dependability locally through the establishment of a reliability development plan that integrates redundant distribution, smart switches, power generation and energy storage. Local power generation and storage let portions of the grid and critical facilities to function independent of the larger grid when needed and thus eliminate blackouts. The engagement of PV generation and energy storage system use in micro-grid system get more attention between researchers for studying in micro-grid system. In grid integration, PV supposed to work in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to supply the accessible power and the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) necessary to deliver the difference power in case the PV system did not meet the requirement of total load. The main grid is likely to support the balance of power and regulate the voltage. In micro-grid system, the customer demanding domestic and industrial is all about the lesser operational cost and electrical energy uses. Other than that, conventional distribution networks that accept distributed generation connections may face serious difficulty when its
  • 2.  ISSN: 1693-6930 TELKOMNIKA Vol. 16, No. 5, October 2018: 2415-2427 2416 control and protection functions become more complicated. This incurs a burden to the network operation and some technical limitations will appear when a great number of distributed generations are installed [3]. A normal power system usually full supported from main grid power for a factory or house to operate. To avoid this problem, the research about the benefit and performance of PV system and battery energy storage micro-grid must be finding and new innovation must be made to settle the problem. 1.2. Micro-grids Micro-grid that is a local grid which can connect and disconnect from the conventional grid to function autonomously and also help minimize the grid disturbances to reinforce the grid resilences. In micro-grids which are low-voltage AC grids, often use diesel generators, and are installed by the community. It also can become as an essential purpose in changing the local electricity grid system. The different between traditional electricity grid (macro-grid) and micro- grid is the scale of the grids. Micro-grid is more like a small-scale grids compare to macro-grids. Micro-grids utilize with combination of the different energy resources, such as solar hybrid or using smart wind turbine power systems which can decrease the cause of the pollution [4], The Microgrids system as shown in Figure 1. Micro-grids can supply the thermal and electricity power plus supporting and reducing the voltage sag will improve the quality of the power. From the utility’s perspective, utilization of distributed energy sources can likely lower the appeal for distribution and transmission facilities. The loads will decrease the flows in transmission and circuit of distribution with important effect which is capability to possibly substitute for network assets if distributed generation positioned close to loads. Furthermore, the service quality will be increased if the existences of the generation meet the demand of the customers. By reducing congestion and aiding restoration after faults, micro-grids can deliver the network support in times of stress. The mitigation of climate changes and the decreasing of emissions may be provided by development of micro- grids. This is because existing and emerging technologies for distributed generation units derived from renewable sources and micro source that are categorized by very low emissions. Figure 1. The Microgrids system with variable source and connection or interconnection directly from local electricity grid 2. Modeling Process 2.1. Photovoltaic System Solar photovoltaic is the method where the electricity formed from sunlight radiation. A semi conducting materials are used to make the photovoltaic cell where the sunlight strikes the cells, it is transformed into electricity. The solar cells are constructed from some thin layers of silicon. The electrons inside the cell are knocked loose when the PV panels were strikes by sunlight radiation. The negative electron gets pushed away from silicon atom by the immersion of photon and positive hole remains. The positive hole and the unbound electron together are neutral. So, the greater the solar radiation, the flow of electricity will become much more. The electricity was produce and delivered to energy distribution station thus to load or utility as shown in Figure 2.

Photovoltaic Array Model Photovoltaic cells contain of p-n junction made up in a thin layer of semiconductor. Monocrystalline and polycrystalline are the common material for PV cells. The ideal solar cell is the one in which a current supply is connected in antiparallel with a diode. When the cell is exposed to sunlight, the direct current generated which varies linearly with solar radiation. The model can be improved, including the effect of a shunt resistance and series resistance. The single-diode model for PV cells equivalent circuit is presented in Figure 3 Figure 3. The model for equivalent circuit of a photovoltaic cell 2.1.2. Maximum Power Point Tracking Control Algorithm A maximum power point tracker is an electronic DC to DC converter that optimizes the match between PV panels and the battery storage or conventional grid to maximize the output power [5]. The solar radiation and temperature have an impact on the output power characteristic of the photovoltaic system where the purpose of irradiance and temperature curves are nonlinear. Moreover, during the day, the solar radiation has unexpected variation. For these circumstances, the photovoltaic systems operating point need to shift to maximize the generated energy when the maximum power point of the photovoltaic shifts continuously. Thus, to maintain the photovoltaic array’s operating point at its maximum power point, the maximum power point tracking techniques was used. 2.1.3. Constant Voltage Method A constant voltage method is the steady voltage of MPP algorithm that spontaneously regulated the reference voltage for unpredictable environmental conditions. The concept of this method was shown in Figure 4. A simple analog feed forward pulse width modulation controller is creating as the weather conditions differ to track the maximum power point of a solar cell array. The open circuit voltage is tested while not busting the entire source from the load since the circumstance with other constant voltage MPPT methods was configured by solar array source [6].

Incremental Conductance Methods Based on the observation that using formula holds at the MPPT for incremental conductance methods [18]; (1) where IPV and VPV are the PV array current and voltage, respectively. When the ideal operating point in the P-V plane would be to the right of the MPP, we have (dIPV/dVPV)+(IPV/VPV) < 0, while the ideal operating would be to the left of the maximum power point, we have (dIPV/dVPV) + (IPV/VPV) > 0. The maximum power point will be followed by differentiating the immediate conductance (IPV/VPV) to incremental conductance (dIPV/dVPV). Hence the mark of the quantity (dIPv/dVPV) + (IPV/VPV) shows the appropriate direction of perturbation causing to the MPPT. The operation of photovoltaic array is retaining at this point and the perturbation ended unless a change in dIPV is noted once maximum power point was achieve. In this instance, the algorithm decrement or increment of Vref to track the new maximum power point [7]. When the MPPT has been achieved, it is theoretically likely to discover when the perturbation can be stopped by the incremental algorithm. The incremental algorithm provides a great performance under quickly shifting atmospheric conditions. The advantages for incremental conductance techniques are the efficiency is high which is about 98% and the reliability is accurate. While for disadvantages, the design complexity is more difficult. The cost for this design also expensive and more complex compare to other technique [8]. 2.2. Battery Energy Storage System Energy storage can provide much more versatility as well as balancing to the grid, offering an important backup in order to intermittent renewable energy. It may enhance the controlling regarding to distribution networks, increasing efficiency and reducing the cost. By doing this, it could convenience the market benefit of renewable energy, ensuring higher security for energy supply, speed up the carbonization of utility grid, and also enhance the protection and efficiency for transmission and distribution of electricity. For distribution area, BESS can regulate the electricity source from variable renewable energy sources to the low or medium voltage of utility grid to match up with load demand. This also happen by managing the power flow and keeping voltage in suitable range and mitigating blockage. 2.2.1. Photovoltaic Output Smoothing with Energy Storage The battery was functional as to increase the power to the photovoltaic output or decrease which is to smooth out the excessive frequency of the photovoltaic power that happen through interval with passing cloud shadows over the photovoltaic panels. While preventing overworking the electrical battery when it comes to capacity and ramp functionality, the control system is pushed with the challenge to decreasing temporary photovoltaic output variability. The control framework provides two extra inputs in order for battery to respond. For instance, the

The system parameter supposed to be fixed photovoltaic system rating, the rating of converters and size of the battery capacity. A modify in the nominal parameter values needed to generate continued adequate overall performance should be effected with different battery parameter values. The result of temperature, charge or discharge rating, equalization and efficiency charging wasn’t regarded. This kind of improvement might be included into the model. However, their effect on the entire controller functionality is just not likely to be very considerate [10]. 2.2.2. Control of BESS in Microgrids for Islanded Operation The actual microgrids works in grid connected mode, however when fault happen in the upstream grid, it will detach as well as change into islanded mode. For grid connected mode, the managing power at the point of common coupling is essential management operation as opposed to the frequency and voltage. The harmonized control strategy involving diesel generator and battery energy storage system is required for the controlling the frequency and voltage when inquired in islanded mode. Almost all Plus Integral Controller (PIC) own set Plus Integral (PI) gains however, real time current gains are usually applied to PI controller applying Fuzzy logic. Therefore, output feature of battery energy storage system utilized real time current gains to PI controller by applying fuzzy logic is quicker and much more precise that using fixed gains [11]. Overall configuration of fuzzy logic controller as shown in Figure 5. Fuzzy logic offers strength to nonlinear design evaluation as well as don’t have to use mathematical model when comparing to general PI controller. Therefore, utilizing Fuzzy PI controller at battery energy battery storage system will be much more precise and faster than PI controller at battery energy storage system. Beside to robustness is much more outstanding than PI controller [12] Figure 5. Overall configuration of fuzzy logic controller 2.3. System Configuration and Operation 2.3.1.

Figure 10. The structure of battery controller The battery control is performed by battery controller. The system performs by tracking control of the current which means that the active power which flows into power system from the secondary side of the pole mounted transformer is set to 0. Thus, the active power for secondary side of the pole mounted transformer is continuously around zero. When the battery controller is performed, the micro-grid system was in islanded mode. The structure of battery controller was shown in Figure 10. In the simulation, the battery control performs from 0s (12.00am) to 43200s (12.00pm) and 64800s (6.00pm) to 86400s (12.00am). 2.3.5. Operating Modes of Grid The system must run with connected to the utility grid or islanding mode where the battery controller was performed. The management of the system has to control the bus voltage in different operating modes. The different modes are described in Table 1.

In mode 2, this usually happen when low load process. The PV and BESS are in the same state in mode 1 but the main grid will deliver the power when the power is insufficient. Table 1.

The battery rating was 150V, 30 A/h which is maximum power for the battery storage to deliver was 4.5kW and the capacity of the battery was 1000Ah. If there’s surpluses power in micro grid, the battery controller will deliver to battery storage or deliver to loads if there’s insufficient power. When the battery controller is performed, there’s no power from the secondary side of the transformer. The Figure 8 shows the simulation circuit of the ideal micro-grid. Figure 11 show the general result of power management of micro-grid in 24-hour duration. Figure 11.

TELKOMNIKA ISSN: 1693-6930  Control Strategy for Distributed Integration of Photovoltaic and Battery Energy … (Alias Khamis) 2423 The maximum power for loads to consume as electric loads was 7.5kW. Each load has 2.5kW maximum power demand. The micro-grid is connected to the system power via a pole- mounted transformer. The solar power generation and the storage battery are DC power sources converted into single- phase AC. These are both connected to the micro-grid. It is assumed that in control strategy, the micro-grid does not depend on system power for power consumption, and required power is provided by solar power generation and the storage to the extent possible. The analysis of the system will be discussed in the next sub topic. 3.2. Analysis of the Simulation Result From the simulation result, there are six situations that happen when the simulation was running. In each situation, it describes the power management between PV system, BESS and power from the secondary side of the transformer to the load. If the power generation from PV system was not enough to accommodate electric loads, the BESS or from secondary side of transformer will supply the insufficient power. It also happens in two conditions which is the micro-grid system was connected to the grid or in islanded mode. 3.2.1. Situation 1 In this situation which is from 8.00pm until 4.00am, the PV power generation is 0W. This happen because there’s not have sunlight ray for PV system to convert to electrical energy. As shown in Figure 12 which is from 0s (12.00am) until 14400s. Figure 12. The comparison between power (W) of Load, PV, battery storage and secondary side of transformer when only battery as power supply 3.2.2. Situation 2 At 39600s (11.00am) as shown in the Figure 13, the graph line for power of PV suddenly change and also the battery. The solar panel of PV system has partial shading which is leading to the maximum power of the PV system suddenly decreases in 20 second duration from 4131W to 1239W. While this happen, the battery energy storage supply the insufficient power 738.7W to the loads. After 20 second duration, the PV system back to normal state. The battery will support the PV as backup in deliver the insufficient power for loads. The micro-grid in mode 5 then change to mode 3.

Situation 3 For this situation, the Figure 14 shows that the State of Charge of the battery storage was increased from 71.47% to 72.85%. This happen because the surpluses power from PV system delivered to battery storage (charging). The surpluses power did not deliver to main grid because of the battery controller that was already performed which is from 6.00pm until 12.00pm at the primary side the current was set to zero (as the micro-grid was disconnected from main grid/islanded state). This situation happens as in mode 4 of the micro-grid. The charging process begins at 35600s (9.54am) when surpluses power from the PV system delivered to battery storage. At 38210s (10.37am), the maximum power generate by PV system was 3992W but the total of power loads demand was 2474W. A 1519W of surpluses power was delivered to the battery which is leads to battery storage in charging state, Shown in Figure 15. Figure 14. The SOC plot when in charging state Figure 15. The comparison of powers when battery in charging state 3.2.4. Situation 4 This situation operates in mode v. From 12.00pm until 6.00pm, the control for the battery was not active as shown in Figure 16. The SOC of the battery storage was not changed at 72.85% because there’s no charge or discharge of the battery storage where the power from PV only was supply to the loads and surplus power was transfer to main grid. At 44960s (12.30 pm), the total load power was 3295W and the maximum power for PV system is 4757W which is there got surplus power from PV system, then 1462W surplus power

Situation 5 In this situation, the point in Figure 18 shown at 63600s (5.40pm) where the total loads power was 5029W. The maximum power supply from PV system was 3113W. The battery controller was not performed, so the secondary side of the transformer (main grids) has to supply the insufficient power which is 1916W to the loads. This condition more focuses in mode 1. Figure 18. The comparison power between total loads, main grids, PV system and battery storage 3.2.6. Situation 6 At 28800s (8.00am), the circuit breaker was set to ON for 30 second at load 1. From the Figure 19, the total power loads suddenly decrease from 5903W to 4921W. The PV maximum power at that time was 2157W and the supported power for load from battery suddenly changes from 3748W to 2764W because of the total loads power was change. The graph for power from secondary side of the transformer did not change because the battery controller was performed (islanded mode).

The comparison power (W) between load, PV system, battery storage and secondary side of the transformer 3.2 Cost Estimation The use of renewable resources can help reduce costs because there is no payment for using RES as the main source of power systems. If the power system to make full use RES as primary source, this can indirectly make the cost of electricity consumption is zero. The example of calculation of electricity cost as in analysis of situation 5 where the total power needs by loads was 5029W and the maximum power supply by the PV system was 3113W and the 1916W of insufficient power was supplied from main grid. The cost of the electricity was calculated from this situation as per hour and based on the calculation of electricity in Malaysia. From the Table 2, it shows that without support from the PV system, the total cost for power usage was MYR 1.10 compare with support from PV system which is only MYR 0.43. Thus, PV system helps in reduce the cost of electrical energy uses. Table 2. The Cost of Power Usage Power Usage (kWh) Cost (MYR) From PV system 3.113 0.00 From Main grid 1.96 0.43 Total Loads 5.029 1.10 4. Conclusion This project proposes a control strategy for distributed integration of PV and battery energy storage in micro-grid where the battery controller will track control of the current in primary side of the transformer thus set the micro-grid system in grid connected or islanded mode. The understanding of benefit in using renewable energy source as main power supply with support from battery energy storage to supply the power to the loads and power managements is realized in the different modes on micro-grid which are grid connected or islanded states. When the power generation from PV system was not enough to accommodate electric loads, the BESS or from secondary side of transformer will supply the insufficient power. The RES also helps in reduce the cost of power usage from main grid. The concept for charging and discharging for battery was reliable which the charging process is begins when surpluses power from the PV system delivered to battery storage. The solar energy is one of renewable energy that safe more money and environment. Energy storage when combined with PV system can provide a stronger economic performance, as well as an added benefit of backup power for critical loads. Micro-grid with PV and battery energy storage can provide energy storage at zero upfront for cost and improvement in technology.
