Here, both inverters are set to an active power reference of 30 kW and a reactive power reference of 5 kVAR. Note that the initial battery charge levels are set to 80% for the first and 50% for the second battery to allow evaluation of the inverter’s capability to disconnect a battery as it approaches its lower SoC limit.
This work was supported by Princess Sumaya University for Technology (Grant (10) 9-2023/2024). The successful integration of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is crucial for enhancing the resilience and performance of microgrids (MGs) and power systems.
Micro-inverters, which are trending in PV technology, require the integration of a high-gain boost converter to improve the low rating output voltage of PV modules and meet load demand. A high-gain converter with less component count is required for grid integration systems.
As a promising solution to such a challenge, battery energy storage system (BESS) can store excess energy during low-demand periods and supply it during peak demand [6, 7]. BESS can also provide ancillary services, such as peak shaving, voltage support, frequency regulation, and renewable energy integration [8, 9].
Notably, it excels in adapting to rapid load changes, maintaining active power at the specified reference while dynamically adjusting reactive power for voltage stability, which is ideal for MGs with dynamic load profiles. The inverters’ reference output voltages (Vref) are determined using a power flow analysis on the system.
The proposed approach utilizes a droop control strategy to adjust the reference power of the BESS-fed inverter, potentially enhancing the battery’s cycle life, state of health, and remaining useful life by managing the SoC [27, 28].
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually.
