摘要

The power coordination control of a photovoltaic/battery microgrid is performed with a novel bio-computing model within the framework of membrane computing. First, a neural-like P system with state values (SVNPS) is proposed for describing complex logical relationships between different modes of Photovoltaic (PV) units and energy storage units. After comparing the objects in the neurons with the thresholds, state values will be obtained to determine the configuration of the SVNPS. Considering the characteristics of PV/battery microgrids, an operation control strategy based on bus voltages of the point of common coupling and charging/discharging statuses of batteries is proposed. At first, the SVNPS is used to construct the complicated unit working modes; each unit of the microgrid can adjust the operation modes automatically. After that, the output power of each unit is reasonably coordinated to ensure the operation stability of the microgrid. Finally, a PV/battery microgrid, including two PV units, one storage unit, and some loads are taken into consideration, and experimental results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy and the SVNPS-based power coordination control models.
