Study of the Simulated Power Flow in a Single-Phase Standalone Pv/Battery System Supplying Residential Loads

Abstract

In a world grappling with the challenges of climate change and global warming, the adoption of renewable sources of electricity generation emerges as a crucial and imperative solution to address these environmental issues. Among the valuable renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is widely recognized as one of the most beneficial and effective renewable energy sources for sustainable electricity generation. In this aim, this paper studies the residential self-consumption using a single-phase standalone PV/battery system. This work presents the modeling and the study of the power flow of the single-phase standalone PV/Battery system implemented on MATLAB/Simulink. Furthermore, this work proposes an efficient control strategy of the PV inverter to maintain a stable output voltage for the PV inverter as well as a steady DC bus voltage. A thoroughly analyzing of the simulation results are presented contributing significantly to a deeper comprehension of the system's overall performance.
