DYNAMIC MODELLING OF WIND AND PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM

John J Thanikkal, Sruti VS, Vidhun M


This paper presents a dynamic modelling and control strategy for a sustainable micro grid primarily powered by wind and solar energy. A current-source-interface multiple-input dc-dc converter is used to integrate the renewable energy sources to the main dc bus. Potential suitable applications range from a communication site or a residential area. A direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous wind generator is used with a variable speed control method whose strategy is to capture the maximum wind energy below the rated wind speed. This study considers both wind energy and solar irradiance changes in combination with load power variations. As a case study a 30-kW wind/solar hybrid power system dynamic model is explored. The examined dynamics shows that the proposed power system is a feasible option for a sustainable micro grid application.
