An Off grid or remote solar electric systems are an energy supply to our home or to our companies without the utility of Grid at all. Off grid solar systems are very important for those who live in remote locations especially for developing countries where getting the electric grid is extremely expensive, inconvenient or for those who doesn't need to pay a monthly bill with the electric bill in general. The main critical components of any solar power system or renewable energy harvesting systems are the energy storage systems and its charge controller system. Energy storage systems are the essential integral part of a solar energy harvesting system and in general for all renewable energy harvesting systems. To provide an optimal solution of both high power density and high energy density at the same time we have to use hybrid energy storage systems (HESS), that combine two or more energy storage technologies with complementary characteristics. In this present work, design and simulation we use two storage systems supercapacitor for high power density and lithium based battery for high energy density. Here the system incorporates fast-response supercapacitors to provide power to manage solar smoothing and uses a battery for load shifting. On this paper discuss that the total energy throughout of the battery is much reduced and the typical thermal stresses caused by high discharge rate responses are mitigated by integrating supercapacitors with the battery storage system. In addition of the above discussion the off grid solar electric energy harvesting presented in this research paper includes battery and supercapacitor management system, MPPT (maximum power point tracking) system and back/boost convertors. On this present work the entire model of off grid electric energy harvesting system and all other functional blocks of that system is implemented in MATLAB Simulink.

For a power grid that has a high wind penetration level, when wind speeds are continuously fluctuating, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operation of a variable-speed wind turbine (VSWT) causes the significant output power fluctuation of a VSWT, thereby significantly fluctuating the system frequency. In this paper, an improved power-smoothing scheme of a VSWT is presented that significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation caused by varying wind speeds. The proposed scheme employs an additional control loop based on the frequency deviation that operates in combination with the MPPT control loop. To improve the power-smoothing capability of a VSWT in the over-frequency section (OFS), the control gain of the additional loop, which is set to be inversely proportional to the rotor speed, is proposed. In contrast, the control gain in the under-frequency section is set to be proportional to the rotor speed to improve the power-smoothing capability while avoiding over-deceleration of the rotor speed of a VSWT. The proposed scheme significantly improves the performance of the power-smoothing capability in the OFS, thereby smoothing the frequency fluctuation. The results clearly demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation by employing the different control gain for the OFS under various wind penetration scenarios.

본 논문에서는 전력품질개선기능을 갖는 계통연계형 태양광 발전시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 전류제어형 전압원인버터 하나만을 사용하여 단위역률, 고조파저감 그리고 무효전력보상을 동시에 수행한다. 제안된 시스템의 동작모드는 2개의 모드로 구분할 수 있다. 야간모드에서는 PQC를 통해 부하에서 발생하는 무효전력을 보상한다. 주간모드에서는 고조파 저감 및 역률개선을 위한 PQC를 수행하면서 동시에 태양광의 최대전력을 발전하는 MPPT를 수행한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 시스템의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다.

This paper proposes a real-time implementation of an optimal operation of a double stage grid connected wind power system incorporating an active power filter (APF). The system is used to supply the nonlinear loads with harmonics and reactive power compensation. On the generator side, a new adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is proposed to track the maximum wind power point regardless of wind speed fluctuations. Whereas on the grid side, a modified predictive current control (PCC) algorithm is used to control the APF, and allow to ensure both compensating harmonic currents and injecting the generated power into the grid. Also a type 2 fuzzy logic controller is used to control the DC-link capacitor in order to improve the dynamic response of the APF, and to ensure a well-smoothed DC-Link capacitor voltage. The gained benefits from these proposed control algorithms are the main contribution in this work. The proposed control scheme is implemented on a small-scale wind energy conversion system (WECS) controlled by a dSPACE 1104 card. Experimental results show that the proposed T2FLC maintains the DC-Link capacitor voltage within the limit for injecting the power into the grid. In addition, the PCC of the APF guarantees a flexible settlement of real power exchanges from the WECS to the grid with a high power factor operation.

본 논문에서는 진동에너지 수확을 위한 CMOS 인터페이스 회로를 설계하였다. 제안된 회로는 AC-DC 변환기와 DC-DC 부스트 변환기로 구성된다. AC-DC 변환기는 진동소자(PZT)에서 출력되는 AC 신호를 DC 신호로 변환해주는 역할을 하며, DC-DC 부스트 변환기는 AC-DC 변환기에서 출력된 신호를 원하는 값으로 승압 및 안정화 시키는 역할을 한다. AC-DC 변환기는 효율 특성이 좋은 능동 다이오드를 이용한 전파정류기를 사용하였으며, DC-DC 부스트 변환기는 제어 회로가 간단한 쇼트키 다이오드를 사용한 구조를 이용하였다. 또한 진동소자로부터 최대전력을 수확하기 위한 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 기능을 적용하였다. 제안된 회로는 0.35um CMOS 공정으로 설계되었으며, 설계된 칩의 면적은 $530um{\times}325um$이다. 설계된 회로의 성능을 검증한 결과 AC-DC 변환기와 DC-DC 부스트 변환기의 최대 효율은 각각 97.7%와 89.2%이며, 전체회로의 최대 효율은 87.2%이다.

This paper proposes an inverter for the grid-connected photovoltaic system based on the transformer-less inverter. This system consists of a high frequency inverter bridge, high frequency transformer, diode bridge rectifiers, a DC filter, a low frequency inverter bridge, and an AD filter. The high frequency inverter bridge switching at 20kHz is used to generate bipolar PWM pulse, which is subsequently rectified by diode bridge rectifiers to result in a full-wave rectified sine wave. Finally, it is unfolded by a low frequency inverter bridge to result in a 60Hz sine wave power output. In this paper, the control algorithm for synchronous current feedback control method and a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method using DSP are described. And, the simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed system.

This paper describes the operation analysis results of a communication-based DC micro-grid using a hardware simulator developed in the lab. The developed hardware simulator is composed of distributed generation devices such as wind power, photovoltaic power and fuel cells, and energy storage devices such as super-capacitors and batteries. Whole system monitoring and control was implemented using a personal computer. The power management scheme was implemented in a main controller based on a TMS320F28335 chip. The main controller is connected with the local controller in each of the distributed generator and energy storage devices through the communication link based on a CAN or an IEC61850. The operation analysis results using the developed hardware simulator confirm the ability of the DC micro-grid to supply the electric power to end users.

본 논문에서는 3kW 영구 자석형 동기발전기(PMSG)를 이용한 풍력 터빈 시뮬레이터 개발에 대해 기술하였다. 풍력발전 시스템은 블레이드를 포함한 회전부, 동력 전달부, 발전기, 전력변환기로 크게 나눌 수 있으며, 시뮬레이터는 유도 모터와 PMSG, 인버터-컨버터와 제어 시스템으로 이루어진다. 시뮬레이터를 운전하기 위해서는 특정 속도의 바람 모델을 적용하여 풍력 발전기의 회전부에 걸리게 되는 토크와 회전 속도 값이 요구된다. 풍력 터빈 모델로부터 계산값을 시뮬레이터에 맞게 스케일링하여 유도 모터를 구동 한다. 발전기측 컨버터는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 알고리즘을 통해 제어하고 계통측 인버터는 유효 전력과 무효 전력을 제어하도록 한다. PSIM과 MATLAB/SIMULINK를 이용하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 그 결과를 증명하였다.

This paper presents the two modes for maximum power point tracking of the photovoltaic system. The method combines the merits of the two methods consisting of the open circuit method and the three point weight comparison method. The maximum point found by this method is exactly than by the open circuit method. By the simulation results, the actual maximum point can be found that is better than the Perturb and Observe (P&O) method or the three point weight method only one method, especially, in the case of non regular pattern of Power-Voltage (P-V) curve.
