Abstract
Greater efficiency, and the relatively more
straightforward structure of DC microgrids, give rise to DC
microgrid technology for renewable energy integration. In
this work, an intelligent controller is proposed for a DC
microgrid that comprises a wave energy converter and a
hybrid energy storage system. A wave energy converter
oscillating in heave, which drives a linear permanent
magnet generator as a power take-off (PTO) mechanism, is
used in this study. Additionally, HESS, consisting of battery
and supercapacitor, is used for power quality improvement
and DC bus voltage regulation. The DC bus connects
with each system component through dedicated power
converters, with the WEC device using an active rectifier,
and the HESS (battery and ultra-capacitor) utilising two
bidirectional DC-DC converters. In the paper, a model is
derived for the individual components of the microgrid.
Then, Lyapunov-based intelligent controllers are designed
for the power converters in such a way that they achieve
the control objectives. An energy management strategy is
also used to ensure proper power-sharing among the HESS
components. The controller system is then simulated in a
MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the result shows that
the proposed controllers achieve the desired control objectives and perform well under various operating conditions.
