Implementation of modified AHP coupled with MOORA methods for modeling and optimization of solar photovoltaic (PV)-pumped hydro energy storage (PHS) system parameter is presented in this chapter. Work optimized the parameters, namely unmet energy (UE), size of PV-panel, and volume of upper reservoir (UR), to get economic cost of energy (COE) and excess energy (EE). The trail no.11 produces the highest assessment values compared to the other trails and provides EE as 16.19% and COE as 0.59 $/kWh for PV-PHS. ANOVA and parametric study is also performed to determine the significance of the parameters for PV-PHS performance. Investigation results indicate the effectiveness and significant potential for modeling and optimization of PV-PHS system and other solar energy systems.

This paper provides models for managing and investigating the power flow of a grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system with an energy storage system (ESS) supplying the residential load. This paper presents a combination of models in forecasting solar PV power, forecasting load power, and determining battery capacity of the ESS, to improve the overall quality of the power flow management of a grid-connected solar PV system. Big data tools were used to formulate the solar PV power forecasting model and load power forecasting model, in which real historical solar electricity data of actual solar homes in Australia were used to improve the quality of the forecasting models. In addition, the time-of-use electricity pricing was also considered in managing the power flow, to provide the minimum cost of electricity from the grid to the residential load. The output of this model presents the power flow profiles, including the solar PV power, battery power, grid power, and load power of weekend and weekday in a summer season. The battery state-of-charge of the ESS was also presented. Therefore, this model may help power system engineers to investigate the power flow of each system of a grid-connected solar PV system and help in the management decision for the improvement of the overall quality of the power management of the system.


Energy storage system plays a crucial role in providing stabilization and improving power quality in isolated microgrid, especially in renewable energy based microgrid systems. Among the renewable sources, Photovoltaic (PV) based power systems are famous and increasing day by day due to its merits and advantages. Three phase fault are common in microgrid and leads to unsteady condition in the PV output power. When there is a fault in solar PV system, the photovoltaic power output decreases and results in abnormal voltage drop in the system. Efficiency and reliability of PV system is also a major issue. To overcome the issues occur due to fault in isolated PV system, it is to have Fault Ride through (FRT) capabilities. When failure occurs in PV system, FRT capability allows the system to maintain stability. FRT also allows the PV system to survive the system during the condition of fault on the system. Moreover, energy storage systems plays major role in the PV based systems. A Super Conducting Magnetic Energy Storage system (SMES)is proposed in this paper which is for providing power stabilization in isolated microgrid under fault condition. SMES can provide the real and reactive power according to the requirements of PV based power system. The proposed SMES can be a good solution for minimizing the effect on the system due to fault condition in PV system. Using MATLAB/SIMULINK, isolated PV with SMES was simulated and analysed for its performance with and without fault condition. This proposed theory is proven by an extensive simulation results.

A stand-alone renewable based microgrid (MG) performance with a hybrid energy storage system has been examined in this work. Stand-alone MG system mainly consists of a solar photovoltaic (PV) and permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind system. The hybrid energy storage system is based on Ni-Metal- Hydride (NiMH) battery and a supercapacitor (SC).  The paper's primary goal is to propose an artificial neural network (ANN) based control strategy for charging/discharging control of Ni-Metal- Hydride battery & supercapacitor. The proposed maximum power tracking techniques (MPPT) include perturb and observe (P& O) algorithm for solar PV system while optimum torque (OT) MPPT for PMSG based wind turbine. The ANN-based control mechanism can maintain the DC bus voltage constant and trigger the supercapacitor to limit the battery current when the battery charging/ discharging current reached its threshold value. The proposed model responds quickly to intermittent nature PV-wind power generation or load power variation.

AbstractThis paper proposes an efficient power smoothing control strategy for variable speed grid connected permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind turbine generator (WTG) with supercapacitor energy storage system (SCESS). As WTG installations are increasing, these systems generate a fluctuated output power as a result of varying wind speed and need to have a power smoothing capability to have a smooth output power profile. The optimal size of the SCESS is determined and a controller is proposed and implemented to continuously charge and discharge the SCESS to achieve its objectives. The SCESS is exploited to minimize the short term fluctuation to have a smooth power profile during normal operation. A bi-directional buck boost converter is used to integrate the SCESS with the system. Two back to back connected three level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converters are used for the power conversion. The control strategy and the system model have been developed for the NPCs, the buck boost converter and the variable speed WTG system. The Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) based results conducted on 2 MW/4 kV PMSG verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed controller.
