RT journal article T1 Power Sharing Control for a Microgrid with PV Power Plants, Batteries and Quasi-Z- source Cascaded H-birdge Multilevel Inverter A1 Horrillo Quintero, Pablo A1 García Triviño, Pablo A1 Sarrias Mena, Raúl A1 García Vázquez, Carlos Andrés A1 Fernández Ramírez, Luis Miguel A2 Ingeniería Eléctrica A2 Ingeniería de Sistemas y Automática AB In recent years, Quasi-Z-source cascaded H-bridgemultilevel inverters (qZS-CHBMLIs) have become an interestingsolution for integrating renewable energy into the utility grid. Thepossibility of performing power conversion in a single stage,without an additional DC/DC converter, and a higher voltage gain,are their main advantages over traditional inverters. In addition,individual control of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT)can be achieved for each PV plant. Owing to the intermittent natureof PV power plants, battery energy storage systems (BESS) arecommonly used to smooth out PV power fluctuations. This paperpresents a control system for the active and reactive powerdelivered to the grid according to the system operator referencesand an EMS for an ES-qZS-CHBMLI. The BESS is coordinatedthrough an energy management system (EMS) based on the stateof charge (SOC) The system is evaluated under two differentoperation modes. One of them, where the PV power plants operateaccording to their MPP and the other in which the MPPT faultsand thus, the PV power is decreased. A MATLAB-Simulinksimulation is used to validate the proposed control system for agrid-connected single-phase configuration based on a qZSCHBMLI with three cascade qZSI, each connected to a 4.8 kW PVpower plant and a BESS PB RE&PQJ SN 2172-038X YR 2023 FD 2023 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/31363 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/31363 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 10-may-2026
