An Efficient Hybridisation of Multi Source Energy System with Maximum Power Point Tracking

Abstract

The world has moved towards the renewable energy power generating system due to eco-friendly, elimination of conventional or fossil fuels. This project presents a new system configuration of the front-end rectifier stage for a hybrid wind/photovoltaic energy system. This configuration allows the two sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously depending on the availability of the energy sources. The inherent nature of this CUK-SEPIC converter, additional input filters are not necessary to filter out high frequency harmonics. Harmonic content is detrimental for the generator lifespan, heating issues, and efficiency. The harmonic content in the generator current decreases its lifespan and increases the power loss due to heating. In this project, an alternative multi-input rectifier structure is proposed for hybrid wind/solar energy systems. The proposed design is a fusion of the CUK and SEPIC converters, modeling and analysis with the maximum power point tracking algorithm. The Smart controller will gives efficient usage of electric power utilization in a proper manner.
