PROJECT TITLE :

Control and Implementation of a Standalone Solar Photo-Voltaic Hybrid System - 2016

ABSTRACT:

A control algorithm for a standalone solar photovoltaic (PV)-diesel-battery hybrid system is implemented during this paper. The proposed system deals with the intermittent nature of the energy generated by the PV array and it conjointly provides power quality improvement. The PV array is integrated with a DC-DC boost converter and controlled through a most power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to obtain the most power below varying operating conditions. The battery energy storage system (BESS) is integrated with the diesel engine generator (DG) set for the coordinated load management and power flow within the system. The admittance based mostly control algorithm is used for load balancing, harmonics elimination and reactive power compensation underneath three phase four-wire linear and nonlinear loads. A four-leg voltage source converter (VSC) with BESS additionally provides neutral current compensation. The performance of proposed standalone hybrid system is analyzed under completely different loading conditions using sim-power system (SPS) toolbox in MATLAB/SIMULINK and it is validated experimentally on a developed prototype of the system.
