—Hybrid power system consists of different sources of electrical energy with different operating times during different seasons. Deployment of a hybrid power system is expected in rural areas. Supplying remote load systems such as rural telephony, hospitals, military etc.., where continuous power supply is required, can be realized with the combination of wind and solar power. The proposed topology is designed for telecom load which uses dual input dc-dc fused converter for combining solar and wind energy sources. For the further research and improvements in the proposed fused converter topology, it is necessary to know in detail the power flow from solar and wind sources to the load or to storage battery depending on different seasons. For various wind speed with constant solar irirradiation and, for various solar irirradiations with constant wind speed, the power flow of the hybrid power system is simulated and presented. The same topology is investigated for different switching frequencies (10 kHz and 20 kHz), using MATLAB/SIMULINK, and the efficiencies are calculated.

The result of DG clustering is the hybrid power system while further clustering forms the intertied hybrid power system. Interfacing of intertied hybrid power system requires an interlinking converter with a legitimate power administration and control system. In contrast to individual hybrid power system (HPS), power administration of the intertied hybrid system is more complex. Autonomous droop strategy is appropriate for the intertied hybrid system where communication links are not possible. This paper proposes a new topology for control in intertied hybrid system where two hybrid power systems are connected to each other through interlink power converter. Evaluated frequencies in different HPSs can diverse. In order to manage power flow a power management strategy with consideration characteristics of common bus, a PDC-vDC2 method is proposed, and compared with conventional droop, to realize power sharing among HPS. The practicability of the proposed power sharing method is realized in MATLAB/Simulink platform.

Hybrid Power

Concerned with the increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to fossil fuels, the entire world is focusing on electricity generation through renewable energy resources. The most advantageous aspect of the distributed renewable sources is to provide the electricity to remote, scattered and the deprived rural areas by developing the hybrid power system at the smaller scale where power transmission through grid extension is not viable due to some economical, technical or environmental constraints for building new transmission lines. An accurate and adequate control strategy becomes inevitable to uphold the smooth operation by restraining the frequency and voltage deviation within its limit ensuring the highest degree of reliability of hybrid power system to provide an adequate power quality. In this paper, a comprehensive review of different control strategies adopted in isolated and interconnected multi-area hybrid power systems is presented.

Abstract Diesel generator (DG)-battery power systems are often adopted by telecom operators, especially in semi-urban and rural areas of developing countries. Unreliable electric grids (UEG), which have frequent and lengthy outages, are peculiar to these regions. DG-UEG-battery power system is an important kind of hybrid power system. System dispatch is one of the key factors to hybrid power system integration. In this paper, the system dispatch of a DG-UEG-lead acid battery power system is studied with the UEG of relatively ample electricity in Central African Republic (CAR) and UEG of poor electricity in Congo Republic (CR). The mathematical models of the power system and the UEG are studied for completing the system operation simulation program. The net present cost (NPC) of the power system is the main evaluation index. The state of charge (SOC) set points and battery bank charging current are the optimization variables. For the UEG in CAR, the optimal dispatch solution is SOC start and stop points 0.4 and 0.5 that belong to the Micro-Cycling strategy and charging current 0.1 C. For the UEG in CR, the optimal dispatch solution is of 0.1 and 0.8 that belongs to the Cycle-Charging strategy and 0.1 C. Charging current 0.1 C is suitable for both grid scenarios compared to 0.2 C. It makes the dispatch strategy design easier in commercial practices that there are a few very good candidate dispatch solutions with system NPC values close to that of the optimal solution for both UEG scenarios in CAR and CR.

Power Flow Controller

In this paper, a hybrid topology of FACTS devices has been investigated to improve stability features of static voltage. The primary assumption is a power system which has been located under SVC parallel compensation. HPFC forms a hybrid controller using IPFC series converters as a hybrid with existing parallel and passive compensator (SVC) in power system. Thus, simultaneous and independent control of active power flow can be reached through transmission lines and the exchanged reactive power values towards sending and receiving line. Using a hybrid structure makes the use of convertors to improve performance of the old and existing compensators in the power system possible. In this study, the power injection model (PIM) has been used to model series-parallel parts of hybrid power flow controller in Newton-Raphson load flow, and all have been simulated in M-file environment of MATLAB software. In order to investigate the effect of this controller on stability properties of static voltage, P-V curve of PQ buses of a prototype system has been evaluated in a continuous power flow (CPF) in M-file environment of MATLAB software. In the section of simulation results, SVC parallel compensation and UPFC series-parallel compensation are compared in terms of the amount of losses, active and reactive power, and improvement of the system’s loading limit with the proposed hybrid structure.

The Village

One of the major world wide concerns of the utilities is to reduce the emissions from traditional power plants by using renewable energy and to reduce the high cost of supplying electricity to remote areas. Hybrid power systems can provide a good solution for such problems because they integrate renewable energy along with the traditional power plants. In Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a remote village called Al-Qtqt, was selected as a case study in order to investigate the ability to use a hybrid power system to provide the village with its needs of electricity. The simulation of this hybrid power system was done using HOMER software.
