An algorithm and a direct current (DC) microgrid charge/discharge system with the algorithm are provided that noticeably increases charge/discharge voltage during charging and discharging by connecting a plurality of secondary batteries in series, compared to a single battery, that increases power conversion efficiency of a DC-to-DC (DC/DC) converter for charge/discharge power control by setting an appropriate voltage of a DC microgrid to be about twice a maximum voltage of a battery group, that enables charging and discharging to be stably performed regardless of a change in the battery group by adding a linear constant current source, that increases power conversion efficiency of the DC microgrid charge/discharge system by configuring a DC energy storage system (ESS) used for both charging and discharging with a combination of a typical electrolytic condenser and a super condenser or a group of the secondary batteries, and that simplifies the DC microgrid charge/discharge system.
