Fuzzy Droop Control considering SOC Balancing of BESSs

A microgrid which is composed of distributed generation systems, energy storage systems and loads is operated in the grid-connected mode and in the islanded mode. Especially, in the islanded mode, a microgrid should maintain frequency in the allowed range. The frequency is decided by a balance between power supply and power demand. In general, the frequency is controlled by using battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in the microgrid. Especially, droop control is applied to controlling BESSs in the microgrid. Meanwhile, over-charging and deep-discharging of BESS in operation and control cause life-shortening of batteries. In this paper, a fuzzy droop control is proposed to change droop gains adaptively by considering state of charge (SOC) of BESSs to improve the life cycle of the battery. The proposed fuzzy droop control adjusts droop gains based on SOC of BESSs in real time. In other to show the performance of the proposed fuzzy droop control, simulation based on Matlab/Simulink is performed. In addition, comparison of the convention droop control and the proposed fuzzy droop control is also performed.
