Optimization, design and control of a photovoltaic/wind turbine/battery system in Mediterranean climate conditions

Abstract

The goal of this study is to design and optimize a photovoltaic/wind turbine/batteries system. The application is made in the area of Bejaia (Algeria), a Mediterranean region where the solar and wind energy are extremely exploitable in this area due to its geographical location. The total incident energy approach was used to develop the device under consideration. To optimize power, the fuzzy logic control (FLC) is applied and to highlight the benefits of this maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategy, it was compared to perturb and observe (P and O) method. A power management control has been applied. The findings from the three different days are displayed and analyzed to demonstrate the applicability of the suggested system. The examined system is assessed using the Homer software to demonstrate the best feasible integration of the several sources at the Bejaia location. There has been an increase in renewable power, which is one of the study's key novelty and objectives, so less stress on batteries in a PV/wind system. This is owing to the suggested accurate sizing procedure and to the FLC algorithm. The findings of the suggested study under various solar irradiation and wind speed velocity profiles are presented to demonstrate its applicability.

Comparative analysis and validation of advanced control modules for standalone renewable micro grid with droop controller

“…As per the test system introduced in section 1 Figure 1, the renewable source micro grid is integrated with three renewable sources solar plant, fuel cell plant, and wind farm. Along with these renewable sources a battery backup module [8] is also included which supports the renewable micro grid. In the given test system the primary priority renewable sources are wind farm and solar plant from which the complete power is extracted and is either consumed by load, or injected to grid or stored in battery backup module [9].…”

Energy Storage Systems for Photovoltaic and Wind Systems: A Review

“…The multi-storage systems used in wind turbine systems are summarized in Table 14 [104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123]. They offer a range of benefits in terms of energy storage capacity, efficiency, environmental impact, reliability, and flexibility.…”

An Artificial Neural Network-Based Approach for Real-Time Hybrid Wind–Solar Resource Assessment and Power Estimation

“…Additionally, it provides thorough, cutting-edge approaches for assessing the effectiveness of the provided procedures. In a different article [20], a photovoltaic/wind turbine/batteries system is designed and optimised for the Bejaia (Algeria) location, a Mediterranean region with a wealth of renewable energy sources. The study employs Homer Pro software to identify the ideal design for the hybrid system under investigation and uses solar irradiation and wind speed as inputs.…”
