Certain investigations on power flow control using voltage source inverter with enhanced control strategies for hybrid renewable energy system

Abstract

In the modern days, renewable energy resources are used mostly for power and energy from renewable sources such as sun, wind, geothermal, ocean and biomass as sustainable, cost-effective and environment-friendly alternatives for conventional energy sources. In the past few years, a lot of research has taken place in the design, optimization, operation and control of the renewable hybrid energy systems. Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) is becoming popular for stand-alone power generation in isolated sites due to the advances in renewable energy technologies and power electronic converters that are used to convert the unregulated power generated from renewable sources into useful power at the load end. The grid-connected HRESs are the most important aspects in the electric power generation. The HRES consists of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV), wind turbine (WT), fuel cell (FC) and battery. Energy and sustainable development is also linked with each other. newline
