This study proposes a varying phase angle control (VPAC) in isolated bidirectional dc–dc converter (IBDC) for integrating battery storage unit to a DC link in a standalone solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The IBDC is capable of power transfer using high step up/down ratio between DC link and battery. The VPAC control proposed in this study effectively manage the power flow control between the battery storage unit and the solar PV fed DC link by continuously varying the phase angle between high voltage and low voltage (LV) bridge voltage of the IBDC. The solar PV system is incorporated with the maximum power point tracking using DC–DC converter. In order to control the voltage across the AC load a voltage source inverter is used. The study also presents the design aspects of the IBDC converter for the application considered. The performance of the proposed power flow control strategy has been studied through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation and validated using LPC 2148 ARM processor.
