Abstract

One of the main issues with grid-connected distributed energy systems, including photovoltaic (PV) systems, is the DC bus voltage's instability during load fluctuations and power line short circuits. This paper attempts to address this problem and proposes to use superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) to stabilize the voltage of the DC link and improve the power quality and transient stability of the power system. The investigated configuration components are PV cells, boost converter, chopper, SMES, three level inverter (NPC), filter, grid, and load. MATLAB / Sim Power System is used to test the performance of a SMES in order to ensure the balance of the DC bus voltage of a PV system connected to the grid. Several scenarios were considered to show the performance and benefits of combining a SMES with the PV system. The outcomes of the examined scenarios (fault and load change) demonstrate the precision of the employed control systems, maintaining the DC voltage at acceptable levels (?500 V), enhances the structure stability, and improving power quality (GPV THD = 4.34). Finally, it can be concluded that the proposed configuration will help in achieving high penetration scenarios of PV systems.

Abstract

Due to rising environmental awareness, rising fuel prices, and increasing power consumption, wind power is currently the world's fastest-growing electricity source. One essential form of renewable energy generation is wind energy conversion using a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). Moreover, DFIGs are the best option, as wind turbines with variable speeds often have substantial megawatt capacity. Their cost-effectiveness, high operational efficiency, adaptable control mechanisms, and capacity to autonomously regulate the exchange of active and reactive power are the reasons for this selection. Classical control, which is based on PI regulators and employs several loops, is the most popular control approach that makes use of the indirect field-oriented vector method. In order to ensure stability across the whole speed range, it also requires strict regulation and is highly dependent on the correctness of the machine parameters. This paper presents a comparison between the classical PI and the metaheuristic Genetic Algorithm (GA), aiming to enhance the power extraction of DFIG under varying wind conditions. The simulation was carried out using MATLAB-SIMULINK, enabling the exploration of its performance across a range of operational scenarios. The results indicate that the PI controller optimized by GA demonstrates significant improvements over traditional controllers, particularly noted for its simplicity, faster convergence, and greater efficiency in power management.
