OBJECTIVE
• The main objective of this project is to design a simple, efficient and economical
model of grid connected wind- pv cogeneration system.
ABSTRACT
• In this project a new method which is simple and efficient is proposed for a grid
connected wind-photovoltaic (PV) cogeneration system. A permanent magnet
synchronous generator-based full scale wind turbine is interfaced to the utility-grid
via back-to-back (BtB) voltage-source converters (VSCs). A PV solar generator is
directly connected to the dc-link capacitor of the BtB VSCs. No dc/dc conversion
stages are required, and hence the system efficiency is maximized. The proposed
topology features an independent maximum power point tracking for both the
wind and the PV generators to maximize the extraction of the renewable energy.
The regulation of the VSCs is achieved via the vector control scheme in the
rotating reference fram. The detailed small signal models for the system
components are developed to investigate the overall stability.
INTRODUCTION
• The cost of the wind and solar energy generation has been rapidly falling since the
last decade.
• Driven by their economic and technical incentives, the global installed capacity of
photovoltaic (PV) and wind generators has approached 363 Gigawatt (GW) and
587 GW in 2018,as compared to 6 GW and 74 GW in 2006.
• In order to maximize the benefits of the available renewable resources, the
combination of the wind and solar energy in the same vicinity has been
considered .
• By the promising benefits of the wind-Pvgeneration systems, this paper introduces
a new topology, yet simple and efficient to interface both the wind and
Pvgenerators into the utility-grid.
EXISTING METHOD
• The Grid connected system comprises a Back to Back VSCs to interface the
PV and wind generators to the utility-grid.
• On the machine-side- VSC, the dc-link voltage is regulated to the maximum
power point tracking (MPPT) value of the PV panels by an outer loop
proportional-and-integral (PI) dc voltage controller.
• The reference values of the machine-side currents are calculated using the
synchronous detection method, and a hysteresis current controller is utilized
for the regulation.
• On the grid-side-VSC, a hysteresis grid-current controller is used to inject the
total currents into the utility-grid.
DRAWBACKS
• The MPPT of either the PV and wind power involves the operation of both VSCs,
which in some cases might decreases the system reliability and increases the losses.
• If the wind velocity is lower than the cut-off speed of the wind turbine, i.e., no wind
power, the Machine-side VSC may be unable to track the solar PV MPPT dc-link
voltage.
• The currents of the machine and grid-side converters are regulated using hysteresis
controllers resulting in a variable switching frequency and higher harmonic contents .
PROPOSED METHOD
• This paper has presented the wind-PV cogeneration systems using vector-controlled grid
connected BtB VSCs.
• The VSR at the wind generator-side is responsible for extracting the maximum wind power
following the wind speed variations.
• On the utility-grid side, the roles of the VSI are to extract the maximum PV power from the
PV generator, achieve the balance between the input-output powers across the dc-link
capacitor, and to maintain a unity PCC voltage under different modes of operation.
• A small-signal stability analysis has been conducted for the entire system.
ADVANTAGES
• The increased reliability and efficiency due to the combined wind and PV
generators.
• The independent MPPT extraction as the VSR and VSI are solely responsible for
extracting the wind and PV powers, respectively.
• The regulation of the dc-link voltage under all operating conditions is maintained
by the VSI and hence a better damped performance is yielded.
• Simple system structure and controllers design.
• Fault-ride through can be achieved using existing protection schemes
