1. INTRODUCTION
Solar power is a renewable, free, and abandoned energy source; it is inexhaustible compared to the classical fossil
energy sources, such as oil and coal. Recently, this energy source has taken much importance especially in isolated
installation as, water-pumping installations, automatic irrigation systems, Lighting for remote signs like outdoor.
board, off-shore navigational aids, highway directional signs, as well as, in remote areas as street lights. This energy
source is much cheaper compared to other renewable energy source such as wind turbine, it require less equipment and
maintenance. Unfortunately, this energy source possess some drawbacks as, intermittency issues, adding is not shining
at night but also during daytime there may be cloudy or rainy weather [1]. Consequently, intermittency and
unpredictability of solar energy makes PVs less reliable a solution especially for remote areas as application. Therefore,
to ensure stable and continues power supply to isolated load additional equipment such as battery energy storage dump
load is required [2-3]. Furthermore, new robust control algorithms are necessary to control single or two stage inverters
in order to get MPPT from PVs and regulate the load voltage, as well as the frequency [4-7].
As for the design, usually single or two stage inverters are proposed by [7-9]. According to [9] two stage inverters
possess more advantages compared to single advantages view point power quality improvement. Generally,
perturbation and observation method-technique (P&O) is very popularly compared to the incremental conductance, the
First-Order Differential, the Artificial Neural Network, the Fuzzy Logic, because is simple, adding is easy to
implemented in laboratory [10].
Generally, dump load is key element in standalone application, it ensure stability by dissipate the rest of power if the
battery is not fully charged [11]. But according to [12], this element can infect the power quality if is tied in the AC
side [13-14]. Several solutions have been reported in the literature for dumping the extract power in standalone system
as [15], this method is complexes and required more mechanical equipments. Furthermore, is not suggested to the
remote areas where the simple technology is more suitable due to the issue of the maintenance [16].
As for the frequency and voltage regulation in standalone system, several approach are reported in the literature, among
them, nonlinear control proposed by [17-21], and adaptive control given by [22], those control algorithms are robust
and they are based on strong mathematical model the only drawbacks are related of the number of the sensors used.

That is why in the proposed scheme in this study two stage inverters are used as is shown in Fig.1, adding optimized
perturbation and observation (OP&O) are chosen for controlling the DC/DC boost converter in order to get MPPT from
PV array, and for voltage and frequency, new control algorithm using less sensors is developed to control the DC/AC
inverter. To improve the quality of the output voltage and eliminate the high frequency ripple, LC filter is used.
Furthermore to protect the battery energy storage system (BESS) from overvoltage, and minimize the risk of
deterioration of the power quality, dump load is tied in the DC side. The performance of the proposed system and their
control algorithms are tested using Matlab/Simulink in the presence of different kind of loads and weather conditions.

2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
As is shown in Fig.1, the proposed standalone system, which is based on PV array, consists of; DC/DC boost converters,
DC/AC inverter, dump load, BESS (battery energy storage system), ripple filter and loads. The DC/DC boost converter
is controlled in order to get maximum power from the PV using P&O technique-method and to maintain the output DC
voltage (vout) constant. BESS is tied at to the DC link in order to compensate the fluctuation due to the intermittency
nature of the PV array, moreover is used to ensure a continues power supply to the local load in the absence of the solar
irradiation. Dump load is also tied at the DC-link in order to protect the BESS from the overvoltage by dissipate the
extract power. As for the voltage, frequency, as well as, power quality improvement at the PCC the DC/AC inverter is
controlled using decoupled control. Ripple filter is installed at the output of the DC/AC inverter in order to eliminate
the high frequency due to the high frequency switching. To test the performance of the proposed system and its control
algorithms,

of an electron, Boltzmanns constant, band-gap energy of the material, total electron charge, and ideality factor,
respectively. The parameters of the PV system are presented in table I in appendix [24].
3.2. MPPT Technique-Method
As already indicate before, P&O technique-method is used to get the MPPT from the PV array, its flowchart is shown in
Fig.2 [25-26]. Using this technique, one gets the maximum output PV current (ipvref). This is used as reference current
for controlling the DC/DC Boost converter. This current is calculated using the variation of the output power PV, which
is obtained by multiplying the sensed output voltage and current (ipv and vpv). Therefore, based on the perturbations P
and V, one determine ipvref..

3.3. Modeling and control of the DC/DC boost converter


The mathematical model of DC-DC boost converter, as shown in Fig. 1, is obtained using the Kirchhoffs voltage and
current laws. Based on the switching position function (S=0 or S=1), the dynamic of the DC/DC boost converter is
described by the following set of equations [27-28].
The switch position function is set to S=0, following equations are obtained:

3.4. Model of the Battery Energy Storage System


According to [25], battery voltage (vbat) must be greater than the peak of line voltage in order to satisfy PWM (Pulse

3.5. Control of dump Load


As shown in Fig.4, the proposed control algorithm for dump load to balance the power of the system when the state of
charge of the battery is greater than 100% and the power provided by the PV is greater than the power consumed by the
load. The battery voltage is sensed Vbat and compared with reference battery voltage vbatmax, the output of the PI
controller is compared with triangular carrier and its output generates control signals to the gate of the switch of the
dump load.

Fig.4. Control of dump load


The proposed standalone system is reinforced by dump load placed on the dc bus as is shown in Fig.1 in order to
protect the BESS and to maintain the dc bus voltage constant. The regulation is obtained by dissipate the excess of
power provided by the RES when the state of charge of battery (SOC %) is greater than 100%.
The battery voltage error Vbater at nth sampling instant is calculated as;
Vbat err (n) Vbatref Vbat

(15)

where Vbatref is the reference battery voltage and Vbat is the sensed battery voltage. The output of the PI voltage
controller is expressed as:
k

(16)
Vdc (Vbat ref Vbat ) k p i
s

Where kp and ki represents the proportional and the integral gains.


The PI controller output is compared with the saw tooth carrier waveform and output is fed to the gate of the shopper
switch Sd.
3.6. Modeling and control of DC-AC inverter
The objectives of the proposed control algorithms of the DC/AC inverter are the regulations of load voltage and the
system frequency. The control laws (dd and dq) are obtained based on the mathematical model of the inverter, which is
shown in Fig.5. The voltage and current equations are obtained are obtained as follow:

To test performance of the proposed scheme and its control algorithms, simulations are carried out using
MATLAB/Simulink, using different loads as, linear dynamic load, balanced and unbalanced nonlinear load.
Furthermore, system is subjected to climate conditions variation. Fig.6 shows the waveforms of: 1) battery voltage (vbat),
2) load voltage (vload), 3) load current (iload), 4) nonlinear load current (iloadNL), 5) battery current (ibat), 6) PV current
(IiPV) and its reference (IPVref), 7) system frequency (f), and their zoomed waveforms for different scenarios. It is
observed that the PV current follows its reference during the variation of the insolation. Furthermore, the load voltage
and the system frequency are kept constant during variation of the load and the insolation, which demonstrate the
robustness of the proposed control algorithms for MPPT and voltage, as well as, system frequency regulation.

Fig. 7 shows the zoom of waveforms, which are presented in Fig. 6 between t = 0.28 s to 0.34 s. It is observed that
when the system is subjected to sudden linear load variation, load voltage and the system frequency are kept constant.
One see clearly at t=0.3 s, load is increased but the voltage and the frequency are not affected. Seeing that the load
current is greater to provide current from PV array that is why BESS is discharging.

In Fig. 8 shows the zoom of waveforms, which are presented in Fig. 6 between t = 0.99 s to 1.02 s. It is observed that
when the system is subjected to sudden nonlinear load variation, load voltage and the system frequency are kept
constant. One see clearly at t=0.3 s, load is increased but the voltage and the frequency are not affected. One observed
that the voltage waveform is sinusoidal which demonstrate the robustness of the proposed control algorithm to keep the
voltage constant. Adding the PV array follow its reference. One see at t =1 s, the PV current is decreased more and the
load current is greater, thus the BESS is discharging in order to keep the frequency constant.

Fig. 10 show the waveforms of the provided power from PV array, consumed active and reactive power, battery power
and that consumed by dump load when the state of charge of battery is less than 100%. It is observed that the provided
power from PV array vary with variation of solar irradiations. Nevertheless, load is supplying permanently, the
difference of power is provided by the battery. One sees clearly the dump load power is equal to zero, which means
dump load is not activated because of the state of charge battery, which is less to 100%.

Fig. 11 show the waveforms of the provided power from PV array, consumed active and reactive power, battery power
and that consumed by dump load when the state of charge of battery is equal to 100%. It is observed that between t =
0.1 s and t =0.4 s the PV power is greater to power load demand, and the state of charge of battery is less to 100%,
implying that conditions to turn on dump load are not satisfied, therefore the dump load power is equal to zero.
However, at t= 0.4 s SOC% becomes equal to 100%, thus, now dump load is activated, that is why dump load power is
not equal to zero, and at t = 1 s, load power is increased and the PV power cannot satisfied load, that is why battery is
discharging.

5. Conclusion
This paper is focused on modeling and control design for the proposed standalone system, which is based on solar PV
array. DC/DC boost converter and DC/AC inverter are controlled to get MPPT, regulate load voltage and frequency
using P&O technique method and new control algorithm, which is based on d-q reference frame. Moreover, presence of
different load and climate conditions, the voltage and frequency are kept constant and the waveforms of the voltage is
maintain sinusoidal, furthermore, protection of the BESS from overvoltage in ensured by dump load, which is placed in
the DC side in order to eliminate the risk of the deterioration of the quality of voltage, as well as, to minimize the cost
of installation.
