This study proposes the control schemes for the cluster of houses for power management in islanded mode. A centralised control scheme has been used in the cluster of the photovoltaic (PV)‐integrated houses. Each PV‐integrated house consists a battery energy storage system (BESS) connected through a bidirectional three‐phase voltage‐source converter (VSC). Control strategy for bidirectional three‐phase VSC to integrate the BESS to the AC network has also been proposed for controlling the charging/discharging of the BESS. The references used by the controller are detected by the charging or discharging of the battery. The algorithm has been developed to allow flow of power from one house to other house in islanded mode. Simulations are carried out to verify the robustness of the proposed control schemes under different operating conditions.
