The proposed methodology and optimization process demonstrate their versatility and applicability to a wide range of microgrid design scenarios comprising solar PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS), making them a valuable resource for enhancing grid resilience and economic efficiency across diverse settings.
In order to overcome the problems associated with the intermittency of solar PV and enhance the reliability, energy storage systems like batteries and/or backup systems like diesel generators are commonly included in the microgrids [11, 12].
Technical assessment is based on the nature of the energy sources and the load of the microgrid. For a solar PV-based microgrid, the main technical aspects that are necessary to be considered include rating of PV modules, tilt angle, fill factor, MPPT, PV efficiency, and efficiencies of the power electronic converters.
As the solar PV system is a DC source and most of the appliances in longhouse communities could be operated using DC source, an opportunity to design a microgrid with high reliability and efficiency would be achieved by the implementation of an optimal DC microgrid configuration.
The name implies the principle component in a PV-based microgrid is the solar PV system. However, the generated output power of a PV system is dependent on the weather condition, that is, solar irradiance and temperature; and the intermittency in the solar irradiance causes fluctuations in the generated output power of the solar PV system.
Single stage topologies have been studied, with a special focus on multilevel converters, which are effective for improving power quality. As it has already been stated, the proper operation of a grid-connected PV system is ensured by the fast and accurate design of its control system.
