Intelligent Control-Based Effective Utilization of Renewable Energy Sources

Abstract

AbstractA rapid development is taking place in the field of renewable energy sources to increase the power generation because these sources are eco-friendly, non-polluting, freely available in nature sources like solar wind, biomass, hydro, and tidal. These renewable sources are mostly uncontrollable and all the same time different methods should be done to build a power plant to generate a continuous and constant power. The selection of the renewable energy source for the plant is one of the important roles for energy optimization. This is mainly focused toward the solar and wind power combination, whereas the solar system is the major renewable energy source for energy generation. In this work, a dynamic hardware model for an intelligent control-based effective utilization of hybrid renewable energy sources and Battery Management System. It also explains the implementation of fuzzy logic algorithm. The Battery Management System (BMS) is simulated in MATLAB software by using fuzzy logic controller (FLC). BMS explains the charging state and discharging state of battery. Then, it is implemented in hardware model for effective utilization of renewable energy sources. The identification of each subsystem has been made, and then, the proposed system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB—Simulink package. The proposed control strategy has been experimentally implanted, and practical results are compared to those obtained by simulation under the same metrological conditions, showing the effectiveness of the proposed system.
