This document summarizes a presentation on modeling and simulating a solar PV and battery-based DC microgrid system. It discusses the advantages of DC microgrids over AC microgrids. It also outlines several real-world DC microgrid implementations worldwide and describes the designed microgrid system. Three scenarios are simulated to test the energy management control algorithm in maintaining the DC bus voltage and regulating the battery state of charge. The results demonstrate the controls working as expected. Future work is proposed to expand the system and design protections.
