With the price falling for both rooftop solar and high-capacity lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, DC microgrids — with a second socket for DC devices — could become a feature of future smart energy grids.
Research should explore integrating storage solutions to enhance the system's resilience and cost-effectiveness. DC microgrid systems can achieve much broader functions and could be applied to many areas due to developments in power electronics (converters), real-time controllers, and renewable energy resources.
From an efficiency perspective, DC microgrids provide a suitable infrastructure to integrate renewable energy resources into the power grid seamlessly (Kumar et al., 2020). Householders are encouraged to reconsider their energy distribution, aiming for a sustainable eco-system.
The main goal of incorporating a control system within a DC microgrid is to ensure several actions such as voltage regulation, proper current sharing, import and export of power, management energy storage, protection of equipment, decreasing the loss of power, minimizing the cost of operation (Yang et al., 2017).
