Integration Schemes for Hybrid Generation Systems

Abstract

The progress in renewable sources,the wind energy has given rise to augmented attention on more trustworthy and useful electrical generator systems. Because of the reason that sunlight and wind energy is alternatingin nature and has great success in power generation over conventional sources.However due to irregular in nature andhigher dissemination of renewable sources, in present day Power generation plants many technical problemsparticularly when used independentlyconnected to grids or standalone systems without appropriate energy storage devices. To make the system more reliable the integration the two renewable resources into an optimum combination, cansolve the impact of the inconsistent nature of solar and wind resources andalsomake the system efficient to run. The paper gives you an idea aboutproblems and its related best solutions for integrating hybrid solar, wind and conventional Power generation systems both a grid connected and standalone system.Voltage and frequency fluctuations generate harmonics which are significant reasons of power quality and have very high impact on power generation. By proper design and advances fast response controllers and goodOptimization techniques resolve the problem to large extent. The paper also provides review on optimal sizing design, power switching devices and its control. The paper presents types of integrated schemes available in Hybrid systems for both grid-connected and standalone Solar PV and Wind Systems.
