DC microgrids (dcMGs) are gaining popularity for photovoltaic (PV) applications as the demand for PV generation continues to grow exponentially. A hybrid control strategy for a PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) in a stand-alone dcMG is proposed in this paper. In contrast to the conventiona...
