This paper presents the preliminary optimum planning and design of PV-Wind hybrid energy system for a rural area of India. Optimization of any hybrid system is the process of selecting the suitable components and its sizing with proper operation strategy to provide ecofriendly, efficient, reliable and cost effective alternative energy to the society. Hence for design of hybrid system solar radi...

In this study, the economic and environmental benefits of stand-alone grid integration are thoroughly analyzed with different system configurations a PV/Wind/Diesel/Battery based hybrid energy (HES) for five climatic regions using optimization model electric renewables (HOMER). A detailed techno-economic study optimized systems is further examined by integrating grid-connected option. The HESs ...

The photovoltaic-diesel-battery (PDB) hybrid system is proposed previously to satisfy power requirements in some remote areas locating out of national power grid. However, to dispatch the uses of different components in PDB hybrid system remains a problem. In this paper, mathematical model of the PDB hybrid system is transformed into an MIMO linear statespace form, and model predictive control ...

Over the past decade, solar photovoltaic (PV) power has experienced dramatic deployment growth coupled with substantial decreases in system prices. This article examines how solar PV power is currently positioned in the electricity marketplace and how that position is likely to evolve in the foreseeable future. We first assess the current cost competitiveness of solar PV in select U.S. location...

This paper intended to control a DC microgrid in islanded operation mode using decentralized power management strategies. The DC microgrid under study included a wind turbine generator (WTG), photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage system (BESS) and dc constant power load. According to the newly proposed strategy, each of distributed generation sources of energy and battery energy storage sys...

The research into series connection of dc–dc converters has been concentrating more recently on creating a high voltage low current string. However, the interleaving technique of series-connect photovoltaic (PV) module integrated converters (MICs) has not been su±ciently addressed so far. This paper proposes a low cost high performance interleaving technique based on series PV MICs to reduce th...

Integration of renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) generation with variable power demand systems like residential electricity consumption requires the use a high efficiency electrical system battery. In present study, integration has been studied using vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) storage specific focus on sizing and capacities components. Experiments have carried out...

In this paper wind and solar based stand-alone hybrid energy system is presented for the remote area power system applications. The wind, solar, battery, fuel cell and dump load (i.e., aqua-electrolyzer) are connected to the common dc bus. An ac load is connected to dc bus through a pulse width modulation (PWM) based inverter. Ac voltage at load bus can be maintained at rated value by regulatin...
