This paper presents a newintelligent controlstrategyfor DC microgrid in islanded operation mode based ondroop control method. The DC microgrid under study included a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG), photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage system (BESS) and a linear resistive load. According to the proposed method, each of distributed generation (DG) sources and BESS can be deployed independently within any controlled microgrid through the fuzzy control strategy. Proposed fuzzy control regulated virtual resistance of DGs and BESS unit locally and real-time based on the available power of DGs and the battery state of charge (SOC), to coordinate the module performances independently and establish the power balance and regulating DC bus voltage. Proposed control strategy for BESS enables the microgrid to supply independently the power required for the load demand when the DGs are not capable of supplying the required power to the load. The proposed fuzzy control strategy was applied locally and without dependency on the telecommunication links or any centralized energy management system. In order to validate the proposed method, the control system was implemented on a DC microgrid within MATLAB/SIMULINK, where the simulation results were analyzed and validated.
