In this paper, a power supply system for hybrid renewable energy conversion is proposed, which can process PV (photovoltaic) power and wind-turbine energy simultaneously for step-down voltage and high current applications. It is a dual-input converter and mainly contains a PV energy source, a wind turbine energy source, a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) forward converter, and a current-doubler rec...

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are used in PV system to maximize the output power. In this paper MPPT algorithm is implemented using Ćuk converter in PV system. The dynamics of photovoltaic system is simulated at different solar irradiance and cell temperature and is validated by using Perturb and Observe (P&O) method in Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm.

The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) systems varies depending on the fluctuation of the solar radiation and temperature; while the energy transfer from the PV to the load is controlled by specific algorithms. Conventional techniques for MPPT (Perturb and observe (P&O)) are easy to implement but they suffer from oscillations at MPP and speed is less due to fixed perturb s...

This paper focuses on the power electronics used in the renewable energy systems especially in the photovoltaic applications. In recent years, interest in natural energy has grown in response to increased concern for the environment. Due to the limitations in the energy available from conventional sources, worldwide attention is being focused on renewable sources of energy. Especially, the ener...

Photovoltaic (PV) offers an environmentally friendly source of electricity, which is however still relatively costly today. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the PV output for all sunshine conditions is a key to keep the output power per unit cost low for successful PV applications. This paper presents various methods and its description of MPPT techniques with their advantages and com...

This paper includes the results performed in PSIM-9 software such as Performance comparison of Incremental Conductance MPPT method with fixed step size and variable step size under varying irradiation conditions. Keywords—Multi-string Power Conditioning System (PCS), Maximum Power P...

To maximise the economic benefit, photovoltaic (PV) systems in general operate in the so-called maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode. However, in certain occasions (e.g. in a microgrid or in a weak system), it is beneficial for a PV system not to always operate in the MPPT mode, but occasionally in the power dispatch mode, because of the top priority of maintaining system stability. To this...

Recently, the concern for environmental issue has been rising in the world such as global warming by exhausting carbon dioxide (CO2) and breaking of ozone layer by freon gas. On December 1997, during the Kyoto Conference on Climate Change (COP3), it was agreed that by the year 2012 the developed countries would reduce at least 5% of the green house gases compared with year 1990 (Riza et al., 20...

This paper presents the study of a variable speed wind energy conversion system based on a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based on a sliding mode control applied to achieve control of active and reactive powers exchanged between the stator of the DFIG and the grid to ensure a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of a wind energy conversion system. The proposed control algorithm is applied...
