Micro-grid is a potential solution for the integration and management of renewable energy generation. Power generation through renewable energy sources has become more preferential and cost-effective, by articulating small scale distributed energy resources, micro-grids are becoming an alternative method in electrical power generation at the distribution voltage level. The increment of nonlinear loads and power electronic interfaced distribution generation system (DG) in the grid creates power quality issues like harmonic distortions in the distributed power system [6] [18]. The microgrid proposed in this paper consists of a photovoltaic array which represents the main generation unit and a three-phase induction generator that supplements the variable power generated by the photovoltaic array; a battery bank is included in the micro-grid to reduce the burden of the power generated by the micro-grid during the peak period [19] [20]. The power electronic interface maintains the necessary adaptability, security and reliability of operation between renewable sources and the distribution system [18]. In this paper, a comprehensive survey on micro-grid to improve the power quality parameters like THD is taken as the main objective with the help of suitable hybrid optimization algorithm, harmonic filters, controllers and battery storage.

Currently the needs of electric power increased rapidly along with the development of technology. The increase in power requirements is contrary to the availability of sources of energy depletion of oil and coal. This problem affects the national electrical resistance. To meet the needs of large electric power with wide area coverage is required small scale distributed power generation. This distributed generation (DG) of renewable energy sources sought to minimize the use of energy resources such as oil and coal and connected to the micro grid and use the battery as a power balance. Because of there are many DGs and the use of batteries, therefore it is important to determine the optimal power generation of each plant as well as the use of battery based on the optimal capacity so that requirement of electric power can be met with minimal cost each time. This optimization is known as Dynamic Economic Dispatch. In this study, the methods of Quadratic Programming is required to solve the optimization problem.

In recent years a multitude of events have created a new environment for the electric power infrastructure. The presence of small-scale generation near load spots is becoming common especially with the advent of renewable energy sources such as wind power energy. This type of generation is known as distributed generation (DG). The expansion of the distributed generators- (DGs-) based wind energy raises constraints on the distribution networks operation and power quality issues: voltage sag, voltage swell, voltage interruption, harmonic contents, flickering, frequency deviation, unbalance, and so forth. Consequently, the public distribution network conception and connection studies evolve in order to keep the distribution system operating in optimal conditions. In this paper, a comprehensive power quality investigation of a distribution system with embedded wind turbines has been carried out. This investigation is carried out in a comparison aspect between the conventional synchronous generators, as DGs are widely in use at present, and the different wind turbines technologies, which represent the foresightedness of the DGs. The obtained results are discussed with the IEC 61400-21 standard for testing and assessing power quality characteristics of grid-connected wind energy and the IEEE 1547-2003 standard for interconnecting distributed resources with electric power systems.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

The small-scale vertical axis wind turbine is designed and modeled in this project, considering all aspects of wind turbine such as Blade design, stator design, rotor design and converter system design. Electric Power has become a prime necessity for any country for economic development. The conventional fuel sources for power generation are depleting fast. The favorable alternatives are renewable energy sources. Although more invention has to be carried out in the field of renewable energy sources, every little effort in this direction may provide a solution to reach most economical power generation point. Hence the same topic was selected for Masters Project. The goal of this project is to design a small scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine, which is capable of producing electrical power even with low wind velocity. It can be placed on road dividers, sidetracks of train or remote places i.e. villages, military camps, where it is not economical to transmit power from power plants. Implementation of such project would reduce the dependence of an industry or remote houses, on electricity board.

: Due to the increase of load demand in future, the generation must also increase. The use of traditional resources such as coal, diesel fuels etc., causes global warming which is leading us to shift to renewable energy resources. Renewable energy resources may in include solar, wind, tidal as the source for production. These are used in small quantities as Distribution Generators (DG) at different locations in a bus system. As the generation of these sources is less when connected to grid, we call them as micro-grids. These micro grids generally use these DGs to distribute power to loads, and involve power electronic elements to control the generation. It induces energy into the system but also create a problem of harmonic distortions and voltage sags. To eliminate these sags and harmonics in the micro grid system caused by the power electronic devices employed by the renewable sources, we induce a UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner) system. The UPQC system eliminates the harmonics in the systems and restores the voltage of the micro-grid system. We introduce a new topology called instantaneous reactive power (IRP) theory in the UPQC control to operate in a more efficient way, by utilizing RES (Renewable Energy Sources) at the DC-link. The RES support the UPQC system by injecting the active power generated by the resources through DC-link.

The local supply and supply scheme called micro grid will become a significant chance due to the latest development of small scale distributed generators such as OV on demand side. Renewable energy structure has been far reaching due to ecological demands. The essence of the structure for renewable energy is very efficient in using distributed generation within the structure of the power scheme. The low voltage DC distribution system is becoming essential as the amount of DC applications is increasing in our regular needs. Power provided through the AC distribution mechanism of low voltage requires both AC/DC converter to delivers the DC batteries. MGs would be fitted battery like energy storage devices. Since PVs and batteries primarily operates through DC, it is possible to emphasize the benefit of the DC distribution scheme over AC production. This article recommends an ideal MG layout including AC and DC distribution device choice. This article also describes qualitatively the benefit of micro grid with DC production, termed as DCMG through housing client studies assuming different kinds of home appliances.

Now-a-days, power generation and utilization became more complicated which further affects the economy of a country. The available non-renewable energy sources that supply the demanded power do not consider environmental challenges like global warming and pollution. This leads to the development of power generation based on Renewable Energy Resources (RES). These RES are connected to the grid through power electronic converters which offer countless power quality issues that must be rectified to deliver a quality power to the end users. The proposed work uses a three phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) based Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) fed by solar Photo Voltaic (PV) system to eliminate current harmonics at the source side of the grid. The output of the PV system is given to a boost converter along with self–lift single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) for supplying high voltage gain which is accompanied by a Perturb & Observe Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).The main objective of this paper is to eliminate the current harmonics at the grid side using SAPF. Also, the proposed SAPF is used for exporting the power generated from PV to the grid. The overall system performance is validated with a help of MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Renewable Energy Integration

In order to utilize the energy from the renewable energy sources, power conversion system is necessary, in which the voltage source inverter (VSI) is usually the last stage for injecting power to the grid. It is an economical solution to add the function of power quality conditioning to the grid-connected VSI in the low-voltage distribution system. Two multifunctional VSIs are studied in this paper, that is, inductive-coupling VSI and capacitive-coupling VSI, which are named after the fundamental frequency impedance of their coupling branch. The operation voltages of the two VSIs are compared when they are used for renewable energy integration and power quality conditioning simultaneously. The operation voltage of the capacitive-coupling VSI can be set much lower than that of the inductive-coupling VSI when reactive power is for compensating inductive loads. Since a large portion of the loads in the distribution system are inductive, the capacitive-coupling VSI is further studied. The design and control method of the multifunctional capacitive-coupling VSI are proposed in this paper. Simulation and experimental results are provided to show its validity.
