“…Contrary to the PV panel, which is attached to the DC bus through a DC/DC converter, the battery is linked directly to the DC bus, which could compromise its safety and maximum battery capacity [22]. As the battery can charge or discharge at fast rates while reaching low and high voltages, in the absence of a converter, battery's safety and lifetime could be negatively affected [23]. Moreover, the size (capacity) of the battery pack in such a configuration is restricted by the fixed voltage of the DC bus.…”

Given the complementary nature of photovoltaic (PV) generation and energy storage, the combination of a solar panel and a battery pack in one single device is proposed. To realize this concept, the PV Battery Integrated Module (PBIM), it is fundamental to analyze the system architecture and energy management. This paper focuses on selecting a suitable architecture among the different options, while also indicating the control strategy that the converters must follow to ensure appropriate performance. Also, several modes of operation for the complete system are introduced to implement energy management. For the selected DC architecture, two case studies, viz. off-grid and peak-shaving for a grid-tied system, were employed to characterize the response of the model demonstrating its utility to perform maximum power-point tracking, excess solar power curtailment, and battery charging and discharging. The proposed control and system architecture prove to be feasible for a PV Battery Integrated device such as PBIM.

“…The inductance and capacity (L s , C 1 , C 2 ) are storage elements. If they are carefully calculated, they could filter the current and minimize the ripple factor of both the input and output voltages (V pv and V dc ) of the converters [9]. The storage elements (L s , C 1 and C 2 ) are respectively dimensioned by the equations 8, 9 et 10:…”

This work presents the supervision strategy in an Arduino card PV generator with storage connected to the low voltage grid. The studied system is composed of a photovoltaic generator, a boost converter, a buck-boost converter and a singlephase inverter. The power of the PV module depends on atmospheric conditions. Batteries are often confronted with overload problems and underload. The objective of this article is to manage the charging and discharging of the batteries, taking into account their protection against overload and under load and supervise the system. For this, supervision algorithms implemented in Arduino developed. Simulation results under Matlab show that the Arduino board has ensured the protection of the batteries and system supervision.

A high step-up DC-DC converter which is applied to a voltage lift capacitor and coupled inductors to increase the voltage gain is proposed in this study. Moreover, the interleaved structure is applied in the converter to decrease the input ripple current. Besides, the voltage stress across the main and auxiliary switches is low. Furthermore, all switches and diodes have the soft-switching condition by using an active clamp auxiliary cell. Consequently, the proposed converter has a high efficiency which is ideal for photovoltaic applications. Energy stored in the coupled inductors is transferred to the voltage lift capacitors and then transmitted to the output. Therefore, no voltage spikes caused by leakage inductors are created on the main switches. The converter operates in continuous current mode and its control remains in pulse width modulation. A 210 W laboratory prototype of the converter with 40 V input voltage and 420 V output voltage under 100 kHz switching frequency is constructed and experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis. Low voltage stress, low input ripple current and high efficiency (96.5%) show the superiority in the operation of the proposed converter in comparison with other similar structures.
