Abstract

A micro-grid system blending utility power with power from multiple renewable sources including energy storage devices provides power factor correction using the renewable sources and energy storage devices by adjustment of associated converters. A controller maximizes power factor correction by utility source subject to a cost weighting of penalties for exceeding a power factor threshold.
