Microgrid provide a promising and efficiency solution to increase the penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) and storage systems, and to improve the resilience and reliability of the utility grid. With the emergence of more DC-type RES and loads, DC microgrid has been gaining an increased popularity over the past decade. With respect to its AC counterpart, it has principle advantages such as higher reliability and efficiency, simpler control and no issues of skin effects, harmonics and synchronization. In both European and French scales, as more and more renewable DC microgrids being and to be installed, the efficiency, the monitoring and maintenance, the durability of those systems are becoming more and more important concerns. This project aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of a multi-source (Photovoltaic /Wind/Batteries/ Supercapacitors) DC microgrid by integrating both energy and health management strategies.
