Distributed Generation (DG) is an effective way of integrating renewable energy sources to conventional power grid, which improves the reliability and efficiency of power systems. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are ideal DGs thanks to their attractive benefits, such as availability of solar energy and low installation costs. Battery groups are used in PV systems to balance the power flows and eliminate power fluctuations due to change of operating condition, e.g., irradiance and temperature variation. In an attempt to effectively manage the power flows, this paper presents a novel power control and management system for grid-connected PV-Battery systems. The proposed system realizes the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the PV panels, stabilization of the DC bus voltage for load plug-and-play access, balance among the power flows, and quick response of both active and reactive power demands.
