Accurate power sharing of hybrid energy storage system in DC shipboard power system based on quadratic programming algorithm

The DC shipboard power system (DC-SPS) can be regarded as an island microgrid, supplying energy to propulsion systems, service devices and advanced equipment in future ships. Ensuring accurate power sharing among distributed power sources and maintaining the stability of DC bus voltage in DCSPS are prerequisites to run system in security and economy. Therefore, an accurate power sharing method based on the quadratic programming algorithm is proposed in this paper. That method aims at minimizing the cost of voltage regulation in the consideration of state of charge (SoC) of each energy storage device (ESD). In detail, the target power is determined by the DC bus voltage deviation, and further distributed among various energy storage by quadratic programming accurately. With the control method, the DC bus voltage is maintained within the desired voltage range. Moreover, the method can meet the plug-and-play requirements of distributed power. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified by real-time simulation.
