To meet the expanding energy demand, all available energy sources must be utilized. Renewable energies are both eternal and natural, but their major downside is their inconsistency. Due to the rising costs of fossil fuels and the CO2 they emit, hybrid renewable energy (HRE) sources have gained popularity as an alternative in remote and rural areas. To address this issue, a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) can be developed by combining several energy sources. In order to build modern electrical grids that have advantages for the economy, environment, and society, the hybrid system is preferable. A summary of various optimization methods (modeling techniques) of an HRES is presented in this paper. This study offers an in-depth analysis of the best sizing, control methodologies, and energy management strategies, along with the incorporation of various renewable energy sources to form a hybrid system. Modern hybrid renewable energy system utilities rely more on an optimal design to reduce the cost function. Reviews of several mathematical models put out by various academicians are presented in this work. These models were created based on reliability analyses incorporating design factors, objective functions, and economics. The reader will get familiar with numerous system modelling optimization strategies after reading this study, and they will be able to compare different models based on their cost functions. Numerous modeling approaches and software simulation tools have been created to aid stakeholders in the planning, research, and development of HRES. The optimal use of renewable energy potential and the meticulous creation of applicable designs are closely tied to the full analysis of these undoubtedly complicated systems. In this field, as well, several optimization restrictions and objectives have been applied. Overall, the optimization, sizing, and control of HRES are covered in this paper with the energy management strategies.
AC loads may demand a fixed or variable voltage at their input terminals. When using inverters to power such loads, the response of the inverter must be precisely controlled to suit the demands of the AC loads. Inverters with higher efficiency and sensitivity will play an increasingly essential role as the need for solar PV applications in prospective green technology grows. To increase power quality and provide a reliable power source, an inverter architecture with harmonic reduction approaches is proposed. The multilevel inverter (MLI), unlike conventional inverters, is developed by cascaded single inverter units and is often used to connect renewable energy sources. As a result, they can be utilized to efficiently reduce harmonics. Among the three topologies, the most widely used in industries is the neutral-point clamped MLI. When the levels are raised, however, they demand a larger number of diodes. When the level of the flying capacitor exceeds three, several capacitors are necessary. As a result, the optimum option for synthesizing the right output voltage from several DC sources is a cascaded multilevel inverter (CMLI). Each link in a CMLI is connected by a single DC source; therefore, there is no voltage imbalance. However, getting equal DC voltages at the input of each unit is once again a limitation. In this work, various existing multilevel inverter topologies including hybrid topologies with different switching strategies are investigated and reported. The performance of a solar PV-based seven-level quasi-Z-source cascaded H-Bridge MLI (qZS-CHBMLI) has been thoroughly examined with the best switching scheme and best topology of multilevel inverters using MATLAB/Simulink.
In recent period, electricity need is increasing because of automatic control systems in developing modern societies. So it is necessary to estimate the consumption and needs of a particular sector to match the generation and demand for whole society. This task is performed by the modeling of electricity demand, in which many tools/plans and policies are involved. According to which, tariffs are made to benefit the society as well as energy suppliers. Electricity demand modeling is also needful when any of the generation plant is going to be installed, especially in the case of solar PV plant, in which number of panels, area, and balance of system completely depends upon the electricity demand. Hence in this work, modeling is proposed for electricity demand after analyzing various sectors. After the proper energy audit in initial stage, hybrid generation system (Thermal/Solar PV/DG/Batteries) will be modeled to match the demand in peak hours using metaheuristics optimization techniques. Low carbon emission and energy storage are the key features of power generation using solar PV system, which are very beneficial for any state of India.
