Modeling of Power Generation in a Smart Grid-Connected Hybrid Solar-Wind Energy Conversion System with an Incorporated Ultracapacitor

ABSTRACT

The non-controllable variability, partial unpredictability, and location dependence of a hybrid solar-wind energy conversion system require the incorporation of additional energy system balance supply and demand on grid-on instantaneous basis. However, increased penetration of renewable generation on the power grid imposes serious challenges for generation owners and grid operators.  A fully integrated and intelligent distribution energy management system will obviate these challenges. Indisputably, implementation of smart grid system will enable the integration in a reliable manner. Also, the hybrid system is required to be optimized such that reasonable generation schedules are generated in order to satisfy the consumer needs in terms of energy quality and microgrid reliability. In order to achieve this, the power generation in the system has to be modeled. Therefore, this work focuses on modeling of power generation in a smart grid-connected hybrid solar-wind energy conversion system with an incorporated ultracapacitor. Mathematical models are developed for various components of the system. Also, the models are simulated, and the effects of various parameters on the power generation and energy quality of the intelligent hybrid system are investigated. It is therefore hoped that the present study will assist in the optimization of the system for power generation.
