A Novel Multi-loop Fuzzy Logic Dynamic Controller for Wind/Photovoltaic-Grid Interface DC Energy Utilization Farm

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel control system for control of a hybrid wind/photovoltaic (PV) farm utilization with alternative power source for DC type loads. A controller consisting of six different loop controllers is mainly used to regulate the DC-DC converter to reduce a weighted total sum of all loop errors, to mainly track a given speed reference trajectory depicting the demand for discharge or flow and also to ensure power quality, reliability and stability. The proposed control function is digitally simulated using the MATLAB/Simulink/ SimPower System software environment. The dynamic performance of the hybrid system is examined for the control system validation under normal and abnormal operating conditions.
