    Abstract

    In regard to electric devices, currently designed large-scale distributed generation systems require a precise prediction strategy based on the composition of internal component owing to an environmental fluctuating condition and forecasted power variation. A number of renewable resources, such as solar or marine based energies, are made up of a low voltage direct current (DC) network. In addition to actively considering a power compensation plan, these generation systems have negative effects, which can be induced to a connected power system. When a storage is connected to a DC-based generation system on an inner network along with other generators, a precise state analysis plan should back the utilization process. This paper presents a cooperative operating condition, consisting of the shared DC section, which includes photovoltaic (PVs) and energy storage devices. An active storage management plan with voltage-expectation is introduced and compared via a commercialized electro-magnetic transient simulation tool with designed environmental conditions. Owing to their complexity, the case studies were sequentially advanced by dividing state analysis verification and storage device operation.
