ASS-MPPT and 2TSO Algorithm-Based Design and Evaluation of a Wind-Biomass Hybrid Power Generation Systems

Abstract

The utilization of conventional sources augments the demand for energy, thus resulting in the usage of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). It is convenient to add another energy source to solar along with wind energy sources since these RESs could not be tapped continuously. Fulfilling the electric load demands with higher unpredictability might not be practical with stand-alone energy systems. Thus, to overcome the stand-alone energy systems’ weaknesses, it would be highly significant to amalgamate one or more energy systems. To provide expanded system effectiveness together with a greater balance in power supply, generally, two or more energy sources are comprised in a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES). To produce electricity, the energy from wind and biomass is utilized in the proposed methodology. The rectifier is utilized with the inverter since the inverter operates with the DC input source. The Adjustable Step Size Maximum Power Point Tracking (ASS-MPPT), which regulates the output voltage by tuning the pulse width, is deployed in the inverter to attain a response for power control. By amalgamating the generation energy from wind as well as biomass systems, a Hybrid Power Generation System (HPGS) has been proposed. In the experimental evaluation, the technical feasibility of incorporating wind along with biomass systems for the needed demand has been analyzed. The experiential outcomes proved that to gratify the energy demands, higher efficiency could be delivered by the proposed hybrid system.
