A hybrid control strategy for photovoltaic (PV) system and energy storage system (ESS) in a dc microgrid is proposed in this paper. The proposed control strategy minimizes the utilization of ESS in order to prolong the battery lifetime, reduce the total system power losses, and maintain the state-of...
