Abstract

A significant portion of the population lives in rural regions where the grid cannot provide them with enough power. Rising power demand, fossil fuel prices, limited fossil fuels such as coal, and environmental issues are the key drivers driving the usage of renewable energy resources for generating electricity. As a result, an alternate option for electricity generation in such remote places is required. Using renewable resources as alternatives would undoubtedly aid in mitigating the effects of global warming. The hybrid energy system combines electric power production with renewable sources such as solar, biomass, wind, biogas, hydro, and diesel generators (DGs). In light of this, a feasibility study on hybrid renewable energy was carried out for a specified remote region. This research investigates the efficacy of a solar-biomass-based hybrid power generation for rural electrification. The effective and sustainable alternative is found in a standalone hybrid version based on solar biomass. Electricity produced from the hybrid model proposed is $0.603.555 per unit, which is almost free of emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG), equally economical, and cleaner than the traditional supply. This system can be beneficial to electrify other adjacent remote zones.

Abstract

This paper proposes a non-communication power management plan for a renewable solar-photovoltaic (PV) hybrid direct current (DC) microgrid consisting of batteries and supercapacitors (SCs). An effective control strategy for bidirectional converters has been proposed for power supply and load generation at different operating modes and state of charge (SOC) limits of the hybrid energy storage system (HESS). The battery and SC combination provides power to the load during normal or peak operating hours. The proposed hybrid power management system was tested under uneven load and generation using MATLAB. The proposed control enhanced the operation of microgrids by utilizing HESS with a novel control strategy based on the SOC. Seamless mode switches among different operating modes are also presented in this paper. This approach ensures stable current control, minimizes charging-discharging mode changes, mitigates the risk of overcharging and over-discharging batteries, extends battery service life, and balances the SOC across different energy storage units. Consequently, this strategy enhances the operational stability and economic efficiency of the DC microgrid. The proposed methodology provided better power allocation and improved the life of the battery.
