Droop K-Sharing Function for Energy Management of DC Microgrids

IEEE JESTIE, 2021

This article proposes the Droop k-Sharing technique, which enables coordination of sources with different dynamic responses, such as fuel cells and batteries, and regulates their power contributions to the DC bus without fast communication.

An Adaptive Power Sharing Control for Management of DC Microgrids Powered by Fuel Cell and Storage System

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2020

This article presents an adaptive control method to coordinate sources with different dynamic responses, such as fuel cells and batteries, as well as their power contributions to the DC bus. Unlike the technique presented in “Droop k-Sharing Function for Energy Management of DC Microgrids”, this approach relies on coupled control loops that require fast communication among the controllers of each source.

A Modified Redundancy-Based Energy Management System for Microgrids: An SoC Enhancement Approach

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2024

This work proposes a redundant DC microgrid architecture accompanied by a control strategy for state-of-charge balancing of resilient Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The architecture is based on redundantly organized DC-DC converters, employing a charge-equalization technique capable of operating even during converter failures or maintenance.

Voltage Gain Analysis of the Interleaved Boost with Voltage Multiplier Converter Used as Electronic Interface for Fuel Cells Systems

IET Power Electronics, 2016

This study investigates the effect of parasitic resistances of passive components and load demand on converter voltage gain. It determines the operating boundaries of the Interleaved Boost with voltage multiplier through mathematical modeling and graphical analysis. The work is relevant to fuel cell interfaces, which demand high voltage gain and the ability to process high input current.
