Simulation of Fuzzy Logic Based Energy Management for the Home with Grid Connected PV-Battery System

Abstract

This paper presents the energy management for the home with the grid connected PV-battery system. The fuzzy logic controller is employed to control the power flow delivered to the loads. The objective is to minimize the electricity cost by managing the energy penetration from the PV-battery system to the grid. The fuzzy logic controller is developed in distributed scheme where each load has its own controller. The fuzzy rule is designed by considering the availability of PV power, the state of charge of the battery and the total loads power consumption. The simulation results show that the proposed system achieves a cost reduction of 13.9% compared to the system without the fuzzy logic controller.
