INTRODUCTION
Pollution and the instability of oil prices, the development of renewable energy
based Distributed Generation (DG) is moving fast to meet the worldwide urgent needs of
utilizing clean energy sources and minimizing costs. Researchers have identified many
renewable energy sources. Among these sources, photovoltaic (PV) can be considered the most
essential resource because of the ubiquity, abundance, and sustainability of solar radiant energy.
A photovoltaic system consists of the whole assembly of solar cells, connections, protective
parts, supports, etc. The advantages of a PV system far outweigh its disadvantages. Some of the
advantages include low maintenance, unattended operation, long life, no fuel, no fumes, easy to
install, and it is modular.
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
MATLAB SIMULINK
Or cad / PS Pice
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
PIC Controller
EXISTING SYSTEM
High initial setup costs and low output in cloudy weather. A PV system together with the
power conditioning device and an inverter can be used as a micro-grid setup. Several works have
focused on developing PV model and the charge controller
DISADVANTAGES
Some of the research efforts also designed power conditioning devices and their
controller. This work focuses on the development of a micro-grid model that consists of
PV arrays, power conditioning devices and an inverter with overall and individual
controller.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
AIM:
The main aim of this project is these types of WECSs can reduce the power fluctuations
due to the wind speed changes, and it is also possible to achieve maximum power points tracking
(MPPT), because the back-to-back pulse width modulation (PWM) converter controls the
generated power.
ABSTRACT:
This project presents a complete mathematical model of a micro-grid set up with PV
arrays. The model consists of mathematical design and development of PV module
and arrays, power conditioning DC/DC converter and the inverter set up. These
designs are integrated with an inverter controller that controls the voltage at a power
system bus.
The complete system is used as a micro-grid set up connected to a power grid. Testing
and evaluations of the micro-grid is then conducted using off-grid and on-grid studies.
The uniqueness of the proposed modeling and control includes a complete models
details of micro-grid set up with PV system, power conditioning devices and load
model, the utilization of an MPPT and feedback controller to control the output
voltage and current.
Thus it provides an appropriate real-life testing platform for micro-grid connections to
power grid. Simulation results show the effectiveness and the accuracy of this
Microgrid model to emulate real-life scenarios.
