Abstract

This paper presents a state of charge (SOC) management strategy to ensure low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) services of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) with a supercapacitor (SC) energy storage system (PVSS). A concept of SOC reservation for LVRT operations is introduced to guarantee that the PV grid-connected system can provide LVRT services complying with grid code requirements. SOC management is derived by considering SC limitations, the current rating of the converters, and grid conditions. Therefore, safe operation of the power system and PVSS can be achieved. The study also adopts an electrothermal model of the SC to adjust the current set points during SOC management by considering the temperature-dependent SC parameters; thus, both safety and full utilization of the SC can be achieved. Consequently, SOC management can rapidly be accomplished, thereby increasing the certainty of providing LVRT services to the system.
