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.

Abstract

With the rapid expansion of electricity grid, there yet still places to be covered considering their remote location. Micro-grid (MG) is a solution in this scenario, in fact, there is actually many cases where MG isĀ used in case of emergency and act as a backup to the main electrical grid. By disconnecting itself from the larger grid, a grid that can have many problems, the micro-grid becomes much more flexible in its operations and by continuing to power households and communities alike. Besides grid-connected mode, it is necessary for the MG to operate in autonomous mode. By operating in islanded mode, micro-grids must be able to supply critical load without interruption, run at specific values for voltage and power and extract the maximum power from the distributed generations (DG). Therefore, the modeling of microgrid network considering solar photovoltaic(PV) and wind turbine generation (WTG) system as the distributed generation have been modeled using Matlab/Simulink in this research. Apart from that, the observation of total harmonic distortion(THD) between two operation modes of grid-connected and the islanded-mode is presented in order to analyze the power quality stability towards two operations MG network with same loads size and network parameters.
