  1. In this paper, we propose a droop-free distributed frequency control for the hybrid photovoltaic and battery energy storage (PV-BES) based microgrid. A distributed state of charge (SOC) balancing regulator achieves balanced SOC among the distributed generators (DGs) with BES utilizing a distributed average SOC estimator and the power sharing regulator ensures proportional power sharing among the PV-BES based DGs. These regulators generate two frequency correction terms which are then added to the microgrid rated frequency to generate references for the lower level controllers. The performance of the proposed distributed control is validated through real-time simulations in OPAL-RT, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed control in achieving frequency regulation, SOC balancing, and active power sharing in the hybrid PV-BES units under both islanded and grid-connected operation modes.
