Abstract
This paper is the possibility of controlling the power generated inside an isolated micro grid, assuring the control of the voltage at the energy storage systems terminals, without using dump loads to dissipate the surplus of energy or a physical communication between converters. a new methodology to control the generated power by the wind turbine, a new design and tuning of the terminal voltage controller of the battery bank and by the presentation of experimental results, including variable wind speed operation. With energy storage systems based on battery it is not necessary to measure or estimate the state of charge of the batteries, only measuring the terminal voltage of them is sufficient. The proposed method allows for a continuous and smooth reduction of the power generated by the existing sources in the micro grid and therefore a charging procedure where the batteries can be charged up to 100% of their capacity. In this project, the power system consists of a power electronic converter supplied by a battery bank, which is used to form the AC grid (grid former converter), an energy source based on a wind turbine with its respective power electronic converter (grid supplier converter), and the power consumers (loads).
