Abstract
The access to electricity is one of the major problems faced by rural areas and isolated regions. Over the years, the fossil-fueled power stations used to generate electricity had a detrimental effects and it has necessitated the need for alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass and other renewable energy sources. Hybrid energy system (HES) based on distributed energy resources (DERs) integration into the DC microgrid is considered as the viable means to carry out the electrification of rural as well as isolated area. However, DC microgrids are limited by the occurrence of faults and this affect their performance. This paper presents the modelling and simulation of power flow and the fault analysis in a hybrid DC microgrid. This hybrid DC microgrid is powered by PV and wind energy system, the formulation, modeling and simulations was implemented in the MATLAB/SIMULINK. The faults analyzed in the system are the DC line-to-ground faults and DC line-to-line faults. Results for a hybrid DC microgrid revealed that high quality of power is experienced in load distribution. Also based on the results, when DC faults occurs there is disturbance to output.
