Control strategy for an integrated photovoltaic-battery system

In photovoltaic-battery systems, more attention is usually paid to the MPPT control while the battery management is put aside. This paper proposes two control strategies for an integrated PV-battery system, both of them making it possible to perform MPPT or regulate the battery voltage to its maximum value in order to prevent it from overcharging. Simulation results prove the feasibility of both controls.This work was supported by the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI) and FEDER-UE under grants DPI2013-42853-R and DPI2016-80641-R
