Design of a sustainable residential microgrid system 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 capable 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 main features of the system, the operation modes description, selection of the supervisory system control method and results are presented in this paper.
