Abstract

Rapid population growth and industrialization in developing countries cause an increase in demand for energy. In order to meet this energy demand, two types of resources are used: renewable energy and nonrenewable energy. Nonrenewable sources, also called fossil fuels, cause environmental problems in serious and dangerous dimensions. For this reason, it is a necessity to find alternatives. It is a renewable energy source that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. This chapter deals with power control of a PV/wind system for power generation with dynamic input dataset. The main contribution of this chapter is that it is the first time to use real data from PV/wind system and observe the system reliability with real-time simulation results. The proposed system consists of doubly fed induction-based wind generator, rotor-side converter (RSC), grid-side converter (GSC), solar arrays, DC-DC converter and grid-side converter, and grid and dynamic loads. The aim of the proposed strategy is to use wind and solar energies with maximum efficiency by simulating the real condition of wind and insolation with input datasets. The modeling and the validation of the operation of the system and its controllers are done by using PSCAD/EMTDC.

Highlights

  • Energy demand increases with industrialization, population growth, and technological development day by day, so the concept of energy has gained much attention, and sustainability of energy resources is one of the most significant issues and problems in the world today

  • The combined PV/wind system with real dynamic input datasets was validated by a simulation program called PSCAD/EMTDC

  • Attention is mainly focused on the power control of a combined PV/wind system for power generation

Summary

Introduction

Energy demand increases with industrialization, population growth, and technological development day by day, so the concept of energy has gained much attention, and sustainability of energy resources is one of the most significant issues and problems in the world today. Karampuri, and Somasekhar [2] proposed an induction motor pumping system which is fed from solar PV. They integrated the variable frequency control, sampleaveraged zero-sequence elimination, and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms in order to keep the system stable under various environmental situations. Eghlimi, and Zhang [3] offered an optimization model to optimize the hourly load dispatch and the structure of a PV/wind hybrid system. They have stated that the stable operation of the hybrid power system is a more dependent wind power system than PV power system.
