This paper discusses the development of new control method using artificial neural network model for the optimum operation of hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) connected to AC grid. The hybrid system consists of wind generator (WG), diesel generator (DG), and flywheel energy storage system (FESS). The system is based on permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) which are controlled by sl...

Harnessing energy from alternative energy source has been recorded since early history. Renewable energy is abundantly found anywhere, free of cost and has non-polluting characteristics. However, these energy sources are based on the weather condition and possess inherited intermittent nature, which hinders stable power supply. Combining multiple renewable energy resources can be a possible sol...

in the most described maximum power point tracking (mppt) methods in the literatures, the optimal operation point of the photovoltaic (pv) systems is estimated by linear approximations. however, these approximations can lead to less optimal operating conditions and significantly reduce the performances of the pv systems. this paper proposes a new approach to determine the maximum power point (m...

the power supply of remote sites and applications at minimal cost and with low emissions is an important issue when discussing future energy concepts. this paper presents modeling and optimization of a photovoltaic (pv)/wind/diesel system with batteries storage for electrification to an off-grid remote area located in rafsanjan, iran. for this location, different hybrid systems are studied and ...

Dither signals are commonly used in electronics for implementing different type of modulations in power converters, which represent a very interesting class of hybrid systems. It was recently shown that a nonsmooth dithered system can be approximated by an averaged system provided that the dither frequency is sufficiently high and that the amplitude distribution function of the dither is absolu...

High-frequency dither signals are commonly used to implement modulation schemes in power electronics converters. These systems represent an interesting class of hybrid systems with external excitation. They have a rich dynamical behavior, which cannot be easily understood intuitively. Despite the common use of averaging techniques in power electronics, it was only recently proved that a dithere...

VSC HVDC will be the most important approach for transmitting the power of large-scale offshore wind power plant in the near future. In recent literature, the feasibility of using hybrid type HVDC for offshore wind transmission has been discussed. A hybrid HVDC system has at one line commutated converter (LCC) at mainland and one voltage source converter (VSC) at offshore platform, which may in...
