Abstract
This paper studies voltage regulation and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for a DC-microgrid that includes a photovoltaic (PV) panel, battery, constant resistance and constant power loads. A dynamic model of the DC-microgrid system described by a multi-input and multi-output nonlinear system with non-affine inputs is derived. Based on this nonlinear dynamic model, we use output regulation theory to design a local state feedback controller that regulates voltages to prescribe set points and maximizes PV power output. Global set point regulation is also studied using passive system theory for non-affine systems and Lyapunov stability theory. The effectiveness of the proposed control schemes is investigated using simulations when changes in both illumination and load occur.
