Abstract

An effective energy management strategy is crucial to ensure highest system reliability, stability, operation efficiency and cost-effective operation of renewable energy sources based standalone microgrid. This paper presents an efficient energy management system for microgrid incorporated with Photovoltaic system, PMSG based wind turbine and energy storages including battery, fuel cell-Electrolyzer. Implemented hybrid modified invasive weed optimization with perturbed and observed method for PV systems to harvest maximum energy during partial shading condition. A sliding mode controller is implemented for boost converter to work as maximum power point tracker for wind turbine. Three solar plants and three wind farms are considered in this paper to establish 1 MW microgrid. Each wind farm is established with multiple wind turbines and similarly each solar plant having multiple PV modules. Each wind turbine and solar plant has their own inverter to synchronize at point of common coupling (PCC). Effective controllers are proposed to supply quality power at PCC under linear status and nonlinear status of single and three phase loads. Small size battery is considered to work under transient time and electrolyzer-fuel cell set will be working under steady state condition to reduce the cost of the system. TS-Fuzzy based controllers are designed for all the converters and implemented hardware-in-loop on a Real Time Simulator (RTS) by using OPAL RT technology/modules. The results unveiled that the RTS precisely emulate the dynamics of the microgrid with proposed controllers.
