Application of DC-AC Hybrid Grid and Solar Photovoltaic Generation with Battery Storage Using Smart Grid

Abstract EN

Smart grid for the past few years has been the prime focus of research in power systems.

The aim is to eliminate load shedding and problematic blackout conditions, further offering cheap and continuous supply of electricity for both large and small consumers.

Another benefit is to integrate renewable energy resources with existing dump grid in more efficient and cost-effective manner.

In past few years, growing demand for sustainable energy increases the consumption of solar PV.

Since generation from solar PV is in DC and most of the appliances at home could be operated on DC, AC-DC hybrid distribution system with energy management system is proposed in this paper.

EMS helps to shift or control the auxiliary load and compel the users to operate specific load at certain time slots.

These techniques further help to manage the excessive load during peak and off peak hours.

It demonstrates the practical implementation of DC-AC network with integration of solar PV and battery storage with existing infrastructure.

The results show a remarkable improvement using hybrid AC-DC framework in terms of reliability and efficiency.

All this functioning together enhances the overall efficiency; hence, a secure, economical, reliable, and intelligent system leads to a smart grid.
