Project Overview
A hybrid AC/DC microgrid with photovoltaic generation, diesel backup and battery storage using coordinated power and SOC management.
The model is structured around AC/DC power balancing, battery SOC control, diesel dispatch and interlinking-converter coordination. It is suitable for scholars who need a clear implementation path, measurable outputs and a page that connects the video demonstration with the underlying engineering method.
System Architecture and Main Components
- PV array and DC-DC converter
- Battery energy storage with bidirectional converter
- Diesel generator and governor
- AC and DC buses
- Interlinking converter
- Energy-management and load-priority logic
MATLAB / Simulation Methodology
- Model AC and DC source, load and converter subsystems.
- Implement PV power extraction and DC-bus regulation.
- Use battery charge-discharge logic within SOC limits.
- Start or unload the diesel generator according to power deficit.
- Coordinate the interlinking converter and test source and load transitions.
Control and Analysis Strategy
The central technical emphasis is AC/DC power balancing, battery SOC control, diesel dispatch and interlinking-converter coordination. Measurements are converted into controller or analysis variables, limits are applied to maintain realistic operation, and disturbances are introduced to evaluate stability, tracking quality, efficiency and transient performance.
The implementation can be extended with parameter optimization, artificial-intelligence control, comparative algorithms, hardware-in-the-loop preparation or publication-style performance indices, depending on the research objective.
Expected Simulation Outputs
- AC and DC bus voltage
- PV, diesel, BESS and load power
- Battery SOC and converter current
- System frequency
- Power balance and operating-mode transitions
Video Summary and Simulation Transcript
The video begins with the complete Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid Energy Management Using PV, Diesel & BESS - MATLAB Simulink model and identifies the principal subsystems: PV array and DC-DC converter, Battery energy storage with bidirectional converter, Diesel generator and governor, AC and DC buses.
It then explains the signal flow and demonstrates AC/DC power balancing, battery SOC control, diesel dispatch and interlinking-converter coordination. Reference commands and operating conditions are applied so that the controller, converter or physical model can be observed during steady-state and transient operation.
The final scopes focus on ac and dc bus voltage, pv, diesel, bess and load power, battery soc and converter current, system frequency. These plots support result discussion, controller comparison, report preparation and further PhD or FYP development.
