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.

The utilization of the solar cell effectively promotes the use of renewable energy. Since the light intensity changes with the time and the weather conditions, the output power of the photovoltaic (PV) cells is also unstable. It is a common way of using the storage device to stabilize the power fluctuation. Firstly, a control strategy of the hybrid energy storage consisting of battery and super capacitor is presented in the paper. Then the transient characteristics of photovoltaic systems with hybrid energy storage system (HESS) are investigated by simulation experiment, which include the transient behavior with a sharp change of light intensity and the transient characteristics in a three-phase short-circuit fault. The advantage of super-capacitor in the hybrid energy storage system is also analyzed in the transient process. Finally, some conclusions about the transient characteristics of the PV system with the HESS are summarized.
