Physics-Informed Neural Network-Based Intelligent Control for Photovoltaic Charge Allocation in Multi-Battery Energy Systems

The rapid integration of photovoltaic (PV) generation into modern power networks introduces significant operational challenges, including intermittent power production, uneven charge distribution, and reduced system reliability in multi-battery energy storage systems. Addressing these challenges requires intelligent, adaptive, and physically consistent control strategies capable of operating under uncertain environmental and load conditions. This study proposes a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN)-based charge allocation framework that explicitly embeds physical constraints—namely charge conservation and State-of-Charge (SoC) equalization—directly into the learning process, enabling real-time adaptive control under varying irradiance and load conditions. The proposed controller exploits real-time measurements of PV voltage, current, and irradiance to achieve optimal charge distribution while ensuring converter stability and balanced battery operation. The framework is implemented and validated in MATLAB/Simulink under Standard Test Conditions of 1000 W·m⁻² irradiance and 25 °C ambient temperature. Simulation results demonstrate stable PV voltage regulation within the 230–250 V range, an average PV power output of approximately 95 kW, and effective duty-cycle control within the range of 0.35–0.45. The system maintains balanced three-phase grid voltages and currents with stable sinusoidal waveforms, indicating high power quality during steady-state operation. Compared with conventional Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) methods, the PINN-based approach achieves faster SoC equalization, reduced transient fluctuations, and more than 6% improvement in overall system efficiency. These results confirm the strong potential of physics-informed intelligent control as a scalable and reliable solution for smart PV–battery energy systems, with direct relevance to renewable microgrids and electric vehicle charging infrastructures.
