Energy Sources

This Paper presents a control strategy of the grid interconnected inverter Renewable Energy Sources (RES). This system can achieve the maximum benefits from these grid interconnected inverter when installed in 3-phase 4-wire distribution system. Increasing electrification of daily life causes growing electricity consumption and the rising number of sensitive or critical loads demand for high quality electricity. One of the main problems facing today is that related with the transmission and distribution of electricity. Due to the rapid increase in global energy consumption and the diminishing of fossil fuels, the customer demand for new generation capacities and efficient energy production, delivery and utilization keeps rising. Utilizing distributed generation, renewable energy and energy storage can potentially solve problems as energy shortage. With the increase in load demand, the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are increasingly connected in the distribution systems which utilizes power electronic Converters/Inverters. The inverter can perform as a multi function device by incorporating active power filter functionality. The inverter can thus be utilized as: 1) power converter to inject power generated from RES to the grid, and 2) shunt APF to compensate current unbalance, load current harmonics, load reactive power demand and load neutral current. All of these functions may be accomplished either individually or simultaneously. This new control concept is demonstrated with extensive MATLAB/Simulink simulation studies and validated through digital signal processor-based laboratory experimental results.

Different Characteristics

The use of different sources to energize a load is convenient in many applications, particularly those where two or more renewable energy sources are employed, such as energy harvesting, hybrid vehicles, and off-grid systems. In these cases, a multi-input converter is able to admit sources with different characteristics and, if necessary, select the output power of each source. Several topologies of multi-input converters have been proposed to this aim; however, most of them are based on multistage designs, which decreases efficiency and increases control complexity, particularly when more than two sources are used. In this work, a three-input step-up converter, easy to control in open loop condition, is analyzed. A designed procedure is described, and experimental results are presented for a 1 kW power converter. The implemented converter results in a higher voltage gain and less storage element, keeping high efficiency compared to similar topologies. Using the procedure here proposed, this converter that was initially designed for photovoltaic applications is enabled to be used in medium- and high-power applications, for example, when renewable energy sources are used.

First Choice

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) including full cells, wind turbines, and photovoltaic panels, widely are spreading. Among all the renewable energy sources, solar power generation system tops the list. The first choice is the boost converter when the voltage step-up is the issue. But the most important subject is applying an efficient structure with high gain, cheap and quick controller circuit. Our proposed cascaded boost converter is one of such converters which consists of several cheap components such as diode, inductor, capacitor and power switch, which has same switching frequency and phase shift in comparison with conventional boost converters. In comparison with the classic cascaded boost converter, the voltage gain for the proposed structure is very high and by forming a preamplifier layer, for a duty cycle of 80 % by adding only two diodes, one inductor, and one capacitor for the second block, voltage gain is increased by 5 times compared to the classic boost converter. The proposed method provides the increased output voltage along with the duty cycle. The projected strategy has been verified with the help of Matlab/Simulink. Also, a hardware implementation of the proposed converter has been done around 200 W by applying a Jiangyin HR-200W-24V type solar panel.

Flow Management

As conventional energy sources are steadily depleting n nature due to human activities, renewable energy sources are the need of the hour. Renewable energy source delivers environmental friendly, sustainable power. Due to the intermittent nature of these source, the power produced cannot be used directly by the consumers. So the output power is conditional to meet the grid requirements by using semiconductor devices.In the present system, wind energy output is coupled with back to back power converter and solar energy output with dc to ac converter. The output from the two systems are separately interfaced with the power grid. This has the disadvantages of higher components count, increased cost and inefficient power flow management. The proposed system consists of four ports among which one port is for solar point input, one port is for wind energy input, one bi-directional battery port and an isolated load port. Zero voltage switching is adopted for all main switches in the converter. The integrated four port converter has the advantages of interfacing two sources and controlling them with low cost, compact structure that allow and intelligent power flow management between the household users, the electric distribution grid and the distributed generation units. This converter provides the facilities to combine two or more generation sources. Solar power and wind power are given as input to the two input ports of the converter. The converters use four main switches for this conversion. The output voltage will be a DC voltage. This voltage can be used to derive any DC load or can be converted to AC voltage using inverter to drive an AC load

The Impact

In this paper, a new multi-port DC-DC power converter used to deal with the intermittent nature and slow response in renewable energy applications is proposed. The proposed converter integrates a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter, and the proposed circuit integrates various renewable energy sources in addition to the energy storage unit. By combining renewable energy sources with a statistical trend to offset each other, the impact of the intermittency can be considerably minimized. This combination increases the overall system reliability and usability. Moreover, integrating such systems with energy storage systems can overcome the slow response issue of renewable sources. It can provide the additional energy required by the load or absorb the extra energy provided by the power sources, which greatly improves the dynamics of the overall system. The proposed converter can reduce the system cost and size and improve the efficiency and reliability. The operation principle is studied in detail, and the design considerations are provided. The proposed architecture and its control strategy were analyzed and studied using the Simulink/MATLAB environment. Finally, the feasibility of the proper operation of the studied converter was experimentally verified based on the results of experimental studies conducted on a 300 W prototype implemented in a laboratory.
