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

Hybrid Renewable Energy

In this paper, the optimal power flow management-based microgrid in hybrid renewable energy sources with hybrid proposed technique is presented. The photovoltaic, wind turbine, fuel cell and battery are also presented. The proposed technique is the combined execution of both spotted hyena optimization and elephant herding optimization. Spotted hyena optimization is utilized to optimize the combination of controller parameters based on the voltage variation. In the proposed technique, the spotted hyena optimization combined with elephant herding optimization plays out the assessment procedure to establish the exact control signals for the system and builds up the control signals for offline way in light of the power variety between source side and load side. The objective function is defined by the system data subject to equality and inequality constraints such as real and reactive power limits, power loss limit, and power balance of the system and so on. The constraint is the availability of the renewable energy sources and power demand from the load side in which the battery is used only for lighting load. By utilizing the proposed method, the power flow constraints are restored into secure limits with the reduced cost. At that point, the proposed model is executed in the Matrix Laboratory/Simulink working platform and the execution is assessed with the existing techniques. In this article, the performance analysis of proposed and existing techniques such as elephant herding optimization, particle swarm optimization, and bat algorithm are evaluated. Furthermore, the statistical analysis is also performed. The result reveals that the power flow of the hybrid renewable energy sources by the proposed method is effectively managed when compared with existing techniques.

Distribution Grids

In the last years, a change in the power generation paradigm has been promoted by the increasing use of renewable energy sources combined with the need to reduce CO2 emissions. Small and distributed power generators are preferred to the classical centralized and sizeable ones. Accordingly, this fact led to a new way to think and design distributions grids. One of the challenges is to handle bidirectional power flow at the distribution substations transformer from and to the national transportation grid. The aim of this paper is to review and analyze the different mathematical methods to design the architecture of a distribution grid and the state of the art of the technologies used to produce and eventually store or convert, in different energy carriers, electricity produced by renewable energy sources, coping with the aleatory of these sources.

Estimate System

System strength is an important concept in the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs). However, evaluating system strength is becoming more ambiguous due to the interaction of RESs. This paper proposes a novel scheme to define the actual interaction boundaries of RESs using the power flow tracing strategy. Based on the proposed method, the interaction boundaries of RESs were identified at the southwest side of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) systems. The test results show that the proposed approach always provides the identical interaction boundaries of RESs in KEPCO systems, compared to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) method. The consistent boundaries could be a guideline for power-system planners to assess more accurate system strength, considering the actual interactions of the RESs.

The Impact

Abstract Increasing the share of renewable energy sources is one of the core policies of the European Union. This is because of the fact that this energy is essential in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and securing energy supplies. Currently, the share of wind energy from all renewable energy sources is relatively low. The choice of location for a certain wind farm installation strongly depends on the wind potential. Therefore the accurate assessment of wind potential is extremely important. In the present paper an analysis is made on the impact of significant possible parameters on the determination of wind energy potential for relatively large areas. In the analysis the type of measurements (short- and long-term on-site measurements), the type of instrumentation and the terrain roughness factor are considered. The study on the impact of turbulence on the wind flow distribution over complex terrain is presented, and it is based on the real on-site data collected by the meteorological tall towers installed in the northern part of Bulgaria. By means of CFD based software a wind map is developed for relatively large areas. Different turbulent models in numerical calculations were tested and recommendations for the usage of the specific models in flows modeling over complex terrains are presented. The role of each parameter in wind map development is made. Different approaches for determination of wind energy potential based on the preliminary developed wind map are presented.
