Abstract:

Renewable power sharing with the grid is a complex task as renewable sources are very unpredictable and always vary with respect to available natural sources. Multiple renewable sources connected to a common grid need voltage balancing and stability for power sharing. This paper connects a hybrid renewable source system with energy storage modules to a grid for power sharing. The renewable sources considered are PV panels and PEMFC modules connected along with high-capacity BES and SC units. The PV panels are connected to a Quadratic Boost converter with higher gain and power extraction capability than the conventional boost converter. The BES has the capability to store power during the abundance of renewable power. The stored power can later be utilized when needed during scarcity of renewable power from PV panels and PEMFC. The SC unit has the capability to provide momentary support during any sudden variation on the grid or the source side. This momentary support to the BES unit reduces stress on the battery pack, which extends its health. All the renewable modules and storage units are integrated on the DC side of the system with power sharing through a common DC bus. The common DC bus shares the renewable power to the grid through VSI operated by the SRF controller. The analysis of the proposed hybrid renewable system with storage units is carried out using MATLAB Simulink software. The modeling of the proposed system is implemented using blocks from the ‘Powersystems’ Simulink library category. The system performance is validated with different operating conditions on the grid and at the renewable source side.
