Abstract

This research is mainly focusing on the optimal power management by controlling the charging and discharging modes of the battery storage of the micro-grid (MG). A droop-based controller or battery controller is proposed for this work in order to optimize the power management of the battery. Charging and discharging modes are controlled by the droop-based characteristic where it will perform as a battery controller for the battery storage. Furthermore, the charging and discharging rates will depend on the signal from the MG at power secondary and its signal will be read by the battery controller and choose either to charge or discharge the battery storage where it will suffice the energy demand by loads in the micro-grid. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the controller to control sharing the power based on the desired energy from the battery storage to the loads at the MG. Moreover, all the critical cases have been advised, such as sudden decrease or disturbance of any generating unit. The result has been observed that due to sudden decrease or disturbance of any generating unit, the battery controller manages to control the charging and discharging rate based on the insufficient energy caused by the disturbance to fulfil the demand at MG.

Abstract

This work proposes a method based on a mixed integer nonlinear non-convex programming model to solve the multistage transmission expansion planning (TEP). A meta-heuristic algorithm by the means of differential evolution algorithm (DEA) is employed as an optimization tool. An AC load flow model is used in solving the multistage TEP problem, where accurate and realistic results can be obtained. Furthermore, the work considers the constraints checking and system violation such as real and power generation limits, possible number of lines added, thermal limits and bus voltage limits. The proposed technique is tested on well known and realistic test systems such as the IEEE 24 bus-system and the Colombian 93-bus system. The method has shown high capability in considering the active and reactive power in the same manner and solving the TEP problem. The method produced improved good results in a fast convergence time for the test systems.

Abstract

The increasing demand for hybrid energy systems based on renewable energy sources has enabled the new dimension for multi-input converter (MIC). Various topologies have been introduced over the last decade. However, most of these topologies have several drawbacks in terms of design complexity or efficiency. Therefore, this research aims to introduce a multi-input DC-DC converter for hybrid renewable energy applications. The proposed multi-input converter is able to hybridize different sources such as solar PV array and PEMFC. Analysis and simulation have been carried out for the double input two-phase interleaved converter in operating the boost mode. The proposed converter is designed in matlab simulink by using interleaved boost converter method to achieve a boosted and smoothened output. The proposed topology has shown a remarkable performance in terms of output voltage boosting, voltage ripple reduction as well as enhanced efficiency through interleaved boosting technique. From the simulation results, it can be observed that the proposed converter can gain high efficiency which is higher than 97%. The obtained results have been validated with previously published works and the proposed technique has been proven to yield compatible and improved outcomes.

Abstract

The application of fossil fuels likes coal, oil and gas gives the enormous environmental impact and hazardous effects to the earth. Hence, renewable energy has become the most tremendously friendly methods to generate the electricity without pollution and emissions. Inverter is a power electronics device which is used to convert Direct Current (DC) into Alternating Current (AC). The conventional inverter no longer fulfills the requirement of reducing harmonic distortions plus it causes global warming and greenhouse effect. For increasing the efficiency and reliability of the system, the PV inverter becomes a vital part in the conversion of DC to AC output. This research thus presents a single phase photovoltaic inverter controlled with sinusoidal pulse-width-modulation (SPWM) and low pass filter connection between the inverter and the utility grid to reduce the harmonics due to intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources. Unipolar and Bipolar switching scheme are applied to control the magnitude and frequency of output voltage and result of both unipolar and bipolar are compared. The simulation of the proposed technique is executed by using Matlab/Simulink.
