Abstract-This paper proposes an energy management strategy for hybrid power system HPS which is composed of a photovoltaic generator, wind turbine, fuel cell generator and NaS battery storage device, feeding a type house. This strategy is based on Fuzzy Logic Control technique. The hybrid power system is sized to provide the energy demand of the inhabitants of the house and if there is an extra power generation, it would be sold to the grid. Using Simulink, we develop the different scenarios in order to use the fuel cell or battery during critical periods. The methodology developed was applied under the climatic conditions (wind speed, solar irradiation and temperature) measured at a site located in the northeast of Tunisia.
Abstract-This work aims to develop an accurate energy management strategy for a hybrid renewable energy system feeding a pumping station. A developed model under Simulink environment is used to compare the performance of the pumping system when it is only fed by a photovoltaic generator, by a hybrid photovoltaic and fuel cell system and finally by a hybrid photovoltaic, fuel cell and a supercapacitor system. The developed control strategy is based on Fuzzy Logic control technique. Several simulations in different dramatic scenarios of working conditions show that the developed control strategy brought major enhancements in system performance and that the use of the supercapacitor makes economic profits by reducing the fuel cell production during critical solar irradiation periods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
