Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing

The problems with the design of hybrid micro-grids are system price and service quality. In this paper, we solve these problems by utilizing renewable resources optimally, maintaining State of Charge (SOC) in batteries. The proposed system also defines the lowest rate for power exchanged between the AC/DC micro-grids. Photovoltaic and wind energy are utilized as key resources in the system. Also, storage banks are coupled to both micro-grids and the fuel cell is the hold-up resource to maximize the consistency of the generation system. Supervisory controller ensures the maximum utilization of resources and by maintaining SOC to manage the exchange of power between micro-grids. This research focuses on power management in AC/DC micro-grid, and its optimization has been investigated by Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm. The result shows that MOPSO yields positive performance and the proposed system is recommended as the best substitute to improve electric energy utilization in remote areas. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

Multi-objective optimization and energy management in renewable based AC/DC microgrid

Recent times have witnessed a significant positive trend in adoption of renewable energy sources and DC-based loads, which questions the efficiency and reliability of existing structure of electrical power system. DC microgrids are identified as potential solutions for addressing India's and other developing nations' rural electrification. This paper presents an energy management technique for isolated DC microgrids for academic readers, as well as provides an introduction to not-familiarized readers for understanding the common design challenges for implementing off-grid power systems. The principle of the proposed technique is based on law of energy conservation defined by the energy balance equation and is implemented by synthesizing the instantaneous current reference and hysteresis control with source priority, which was validated by rigors simulation studies in Matlab/Simulink. Furthermore, in order to demonstrate the modularity and scalability of the algorithm, it was tested on a prototype hardware test setup at the Solar Energy Research Centre, VIT University. © 2017, Copyright © Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.
