Energy storage system plays a crucial role in providing stabilization and improving power quality in isolated microgrid, especially in renewable energy based microgrid systems. Among the renewable sources, Photovoltaic (PV) based power systems are famous and increasing day by day due to its merits and advantages. Three phase fault are common in microgrid and leads to unsteady condition in the PV output power. When there is a fault in solar PV system, the photovoltaic power output decreases and results in a bnormal voltage drop in the system. Efficiency and reliability of PV system is also a major issue. To overcome the issues occur due to fault in isolated PV system, it is to have Fault Ride through (FRT) capabilities. When failure occurs in PV system, FRT c apability allows the system to maintain stability. FRT also allows the PV system to survive the system during the condition of fault on the system. Moreover, energy storage systems plays major role in the PV based systems. A Super Conducting Magnetic Energ y Storage system (SMES)is proposed in this paper which is for providing power stabilization in isolated microgrid under fault condition. SMES can provide the real and reactive power according to the requirements of PV based power system. The proposed SMES can be a good solution for minimizing the effect on the system due to fault condition in PV system. Using MATLAB/SIMULINK, isolated PV with SMES was simulated and analysed for its performance with and without fault condition. This proposed theory is proven by an extensive simulation results.
