Abstract

The concept of DC microgrids is based on the tendency to use, in the most efficient way, the unconventional renewable energy resources. Some of the renewable resources are technologically exploitable by supplying electricity at DC microgrids, like combustion cells, photovoltaic cells and are directly supplying the consumers. Mainly the consumers are built for an AC network use, but the adaptability to the DC microgrid is often possible. The paper presents the power balance study for a DC microgrid, necessary in the design phase, in the case of a renewable power supplies laboratory, developed specially on research purpose. A hybrid solution using battery energy storage is taken in account and different operational regimes are considered. The general scheme and devices to develop the research study of the consumers adaptability to a DC microgrid is presented.
