Design of a sustainable residential microgrid system with DC and AC buses including PHEV and energy storage device

A sustainable residential microgrid composed of two distributed generation sources (photovoltaic panels and biofuel generator), one energy storage device (battery bank), and able of supplying both AC and DC loads, including a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, is proposed. The microgrid can operate in grid-connected mode and island mode. It is composed of a main DC bus and also an AC bus. The characteristics of the system, the operation modes description and some results are presented in this paper.
