Power generation from a renewable source is an affair of heightened interest leading to research. Natural resource- battery hybrid power generation mainly rely on renewable power source and the battery system chained. Along with the production of this power, sustaining the reliability of the system is also crucial part which can be achieved by an investigated as well as analyzed management and control strategy. This paper comprises of comparison between two such management and control strategies i.e. System 1-conventional power management and control scheme with System 2- three-port assembled power converters. In system 1 two separate DC/DC converters are used whereas in system 2 the three ports (battery system, PV array and DC load) are interfaced with the help of IGBT power switches. Both the algorithms are examined in MATLAB/Simulink software and the outputs are compared, implying that both systems achieve management and control but system 2 proves to be more reliable, less complex and feasible for higher power density working.
