Abstract: Hybrid microgrid is the key solution to energize remote rural areas. The microgrid system incorporates more than one Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) source to complement one another. This paper proposes a hybrid DC microgrid system to be operated in isolated mode. The proposed microgrid consists of a PMSG based Wind Turbine, PV array, and Lead-acid battery as an energy storage device. The Wind Turbine generator is connected to the DC bus through a Three-phase Diode Bridge Rectifier. The PV array is tied to the DC bus by a Boost converter and incremental conductance algorithm is used to extract the maximum power from the PV array. The battery uses a bidirectional converter for charging and discharging. A simple PI-based closed-loop control system is incorporated for proper energy management. The bus voltage is maintained either by the boost converter or the bidirectional converter depending upon the operating condition. The proposed microgrid system is modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. Simulation of this model is done for varying irradiance, temperature, wind condition, and different load condition. The simulation results show that the system is stable under various load and supply conditions. Keywords: Hybrid microgrid, Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE), PMSG, PV array, DC bus, Boost converter, incremental conductance, bidirectional converter

This paper presents modeling and simulation of an autonomous DC microgrid in Matlab Simulink environment. The proposed microgrid system consists of a wind turbine, solar PV array  ac grid and DC loads. The wind turbine &Ac grid  is interfaced to the microgrid with a rectifier and a buck converter which are controlled to maintain a constant DC bus voltage. While the PV array is connected via a boost converter which extracts maximum power from the circuit. the microgrid system also consists of a Energy Storage System (ESS) which is connected via a bidirectional buck-boost converter. The overall stability of the microgrid is maintained by the control action of the ESS. DC microgid system have been analyzed and simulation done using Matlab.

This paper presents a hybrid AC-DC microgrid to reduce the process of multiple conversions in an individual AC microgrid or DC microgrid. The proposed hybrid microgrid compose of both AC microgrid and DC microgrid connected together by bidirectional interlink converter (BIC). Utility grid, 150kVA diesel generator (DG) and 100kW AC load are connected in AC microgrid. DC microgrid is composed of 100 kW photovoltaic array (PV), 20kW battery energy storage system (BESS) and 20kW DC load. The droop control technique is applied to control the system for power sharing within the sources in AC/DC hybrid microgrid in proportion to the power rating. When the faults occur at AC bus, protection signal applied to breaker for isolating the healthy and faults system. DC faults occur at DC bus, DC breaker isolate the AC and DC bus. The system performance for power flow sharing on hybrid AC-DC microgrid is demonstrated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

This paper introduces an energy management and control method for DC microgrid supplying electric vehicles (EV) charging station. An Energy Management System (EMS) is developed to manage and control power flow from renewable energy sources to EVs through DC microgrid. An integrated approach for controlling DC microgrid based charging station powered by intermittent renewable energies. A wind turbine (WT) and solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays are integrated into the studied DC microgrid to replace energy from fossil fuel and decrease pollution from carbon emissions. Due to the intermittency of solar and wind generation, the output powers of PV and WT are not guaranteed. For this reason, the capacities of WT, solar PV panels, and the battery system are considered decision parameters to be optimized. The optimized design of the renewable energy system is done to ensure sufficient electricity supply to the EV charging station. Moreover, various renewable energy technologies for supplying EV charging stations to improve their performance are investigated. To evaluate the performance of the used control strategies, simulation is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

The purpose of this article is to extract the maximum power point at which the photovoltaic system can operate optimally. The system considered is simulated under different irradiations (between 200 W/m<sup>2</sup> and 1000 W/m<sup>2</sup>), it mainly includes the established models of solar PV and MPPT module, a DC/DC boost converter and a DC/AC converter. The most common MPPT techniques that will be studied are: "Perturbation and Observation" (P&amp;O) method, "Incremental Conductance" (INC) method, and "Fuzzy Logic" (FL) control. Simulation results obtained using MATLAB/Simulink are analyzed and compared to evaluate the performance of each of the three techniques.
