    DC microgrid as a solution for utilisation of solar photovoltaic sources
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 2016-12) Bandara, AIMH; Binduhewa, P; Ekanayake, J; Rajapakse, A; Prasad, WD
    MicroGrid (MG) is a convenient solution to integrate renewable energy sources to the existing power network. Though ac MicroGrids are widely studied, researches are focused towards the implementation of dc MicroGrids in order to improve the utilization of renewable sources with dc power output. In this study a MicroGrid architecture for commercial buildings and domestic houses with solar photovoltaic (PV) as the renewable energy source is proposed. The dc MicroGrid was implemented in PSCAD/EMTDC software package and simulations studies were conducted to validate the operation.
