Fuzzy Controller Based Solar PhotovoltaicSystem, Fuel Cell Integration forConditioning the Electrical Power

Abstract

In the present world, the solar photovoltaic system plays an essential role in the modern power systems due to inertialess, abundant and freely available in nature. But the intermittent nature of the solar photovoltaic system is unable to provide continuous power supply. The proposed system should be highly reliable, secured with sufficient quantity and quality. Providing continuous supply is a great challenge in the present power system. One such solution is to bring the reliable and flexible power by introducing the solar photovoltaic, battery storage and fuel cell system. In this work, the integration of Solar Photovoltaic, battery with a fuel cell system is considered to provide the seamless power continuously. The solar power is extracted using fuzzy control based maximum power point tracking method which can be fed with DC bus using the boost converter. The battery storage system is connected to the DC bus using the bi-directional converter. The switching pulses for the bi-directional converter are generated using a PI controller based on the battery state of the charge. The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell is used as a secondary source to maintain the flexible power at the DC bus system. The DC bus power can be fed to the load and the excessive power can be integrated with the grid through the synchronization process. The proposed structure stabilizes the DC link voltage and the grid voltages even under dynamic conditions of intermittent solar power and load variations

“…There is a worldwide rapid growth of wind generation plants due to the high demand for the usage of electrical energy. Wind energy generation is the most desirable non-pollutant source, it is renewable, and available in abundance [1][2][3]. In the early twentieth century, the aviation technology advanced rapidly and the blade technology improved.…”
