Abstract

Microgrids make it easier to integrate Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) and Energy-Storage Systems (ESSs) at the consumer level, with the intent of enhancing power quality, reliability, and efficiency. This microgrid concept at the nano grid level is championed by a low voltage DC (LVDC) grid, facilitating the direct integration of several distributed generators, storage and loads that are almost DC source/load. Since the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery is an essential parameter for building energy management systems, careful monitoring of SOC is essential. The SOC of a battery directly reflects its performance; thus, straightforward, reasonably accurate, and timely estimation of SOC protects against overcharging or discharging issues, with fewer processor requirements and computations. A novel SOC estimation method is proposed based on the literature assessment of different existing SOC estimation methods. In regions with a tropical climate, the temperature range over the year is small, and the sunshine is relatively intense and fairly even throughout the year. Also, for all practical purposes, it is a fact that the model that takes inputs at the point of use gives accurate results. Considering the 2 facts mentioned above, the current model uses a less complicated algorithm, within acceptable accuracy for the purpose and relatively user-friendly.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • State Of Charge (SOC) estimation of 48V Lead Acid battery for Low Voltage DC (LVDC) building energy management systems
  • Straightforward, reasonably accurate, and timely estimation of SOC which protects against overcharging or discharging issues, with fewer processor requirements and computations
  • For the SOC estimation, the open-circuit voltage is obtained by measuring the terminal voltage, current and first-order model of the battery developed under similar climatic condition
  • Development and testing of an algorithm incorporating temperature-independent first-order battery model for the tropical climate with lesser temperature variation
