In stand-alone dc microgrids, battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are conventionally used for regulating the dc-link voltage, causing a continuous battery operation. Though operating the photovoltaic (PV) system at its maximum power point yields minimum battery discharge current, the opposite is...
