Abstract

In this paper, a smart controllable distributed solar DC nano-grid is developed for distributed villages in India. Initially, the proposed system is modeled individually and its controller structure is investigated. A communication protocol based on cyber-physical system is developed for controlling and coordinating different components of the proposed system. Each solar photovoltaic (SPV) power plant is rated at 1.5 kW. The SPV is connected to DC–DC converter to battery and a DC load. The battery is connected with a bidirectional DC-DC converter for bidirectional power flow. The operation of DC-DC converters ensures maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under any environmental condition. The characteristics of the communication network corresponding with the proposed solar energy utilization are remotely monitored, and then the proposed system with the solar interface is studied Simulink. The simulation results are verified by experimental prototype in the laboratory.
