Abstract

Micro Grids (MGs) are well described as distribution systems with integrated distributed energy resources, i.e. photovoltaic (PV) and wind power generation systems. MGs can improve the quality of power by maintaining voltage levels and reducing the cost of energy supply. Despite the obvious advantages of distributed generation, technical operating and controlling challenges related to MGs are immense to maintain voltage and frequency stabilities during variable loading and emergency condition. This paper proposes an efficient an overhaul maximum power conditioning control system of micro grid feeds from PV modules and wind turbine. The PV power system utilizes two-stage energy conversion system topology, i.e. a DC/DC chopper circuit and voltage source inverter (VSI) that satisfies the MG technical requirements. For the proposed PV maximum power point tracking (MPPT), the boost chopper duty cycle is being adjusted to set the PV panel operating point to a maximum power point. Whereas for the proposed wind turbine, the pitch angle controller is developed to force the wind turbine to reaches its optimal operation at low and medium wind speeds. During high wind speeds, the pitch angle is changed to minimize the aerodynamic power. The dynamic model and control of the investigated MG for both transient and steady states operations are illustrated. Furthermore, the control strategies for maintaining the maximum energy conversion and to obtain voltage stability under multiple operating conditions are presented.
