INTRODUCTION |
Hybrid power systems are planned for the generation of electrical power more efficiently. They are usually liberated of bulky centralized electric grids and are used in remote zones. Hybrid power systems by explanation contain a number of power generation strategies such as wind turbines, photovoltaic module, and micro-hydro and fossil fuel originators. However this hybrid power schemes ranges from small systems planned for one or several homes to very large ones for remote island grids or large communities Hybrid power systems are seen as a way to deliver power to the many remote societies in the emergent world where the expenditures for large scale enlargement of electrical grids are prohibitive and the transportation costs of diesel fuel are also very high. The usage of renewable power generation systems diminishes the use of expensive fuels, permits for the cleaner generation of electrical power and also expands the standard of living for many people in remote areas. |
Hybrid energy systems combine multiple energy generation or storage technologies to build an electricity generation system that optimizes the characteristics of the individual generation sources. For example, PV hybrid systems usually combine photovoltaic (PV) generation of electricity with energy storage (classically a rechargeable battery) and a fossil fuel engine generator. PV generators have no fuel costs, produce no greenhouse gases or other air contaminants, are quiet and require minimal maintenance, but they have relatively high capital cost and produce power intermittently, depending on the amount of sunlight available (they are non-dispatch able). By optimizing the size of the PV array, the battery, and the gen set and through proper control strategy, an economic compromise between the capital cost of the PV array and the battery and the operating cost and emissions of the gen-set can be achieved. |
Wind hybrid power systems combines wind turbines with other storage and/or generation sources. Wind and its generation potential are inherently variable. The combination has been described as particularly suited to islands that are not connected to larger grids. Wind power is a very efficient source of energy in areas that are invariably windy. Typical high wind regimes occur in areas of low-priority land use and collection area is perpendicular to the ground surface and occupies only a small fraction of the area from which the energy is captured. Wind power has many benefits including the facts that it produces virtually no pollution of air, water or soil; it is renewable (non-delectable). |
RELATED WORK |
Photovoltaic (PV) energy appears quite attractive for electricity generation because of its soundless, pollution-free, scale elasticity, and little preservation. Because of the PV power generation necessity on sun treatment level, ambient temperature, and erratic shadows, the PV-based power system should be accompanied by other another energy sources to ensure a reliable power supply. This traditional method deals with two types of MICs: in the first type, only one power source is permitted to transfer energy to the load at a period. Similarly in the second category, all the input sources can distribute power to the load either separately or concurrently. Traditional methods that participate different power sources to form a hybrid power system can be classified as ac-coupled systems. However, the main shortcomings of these traditional assimilating methods are multifaceted scheme topology, high count of plans, high power victims, expensive cost and bulky. However in recent years, numerous power conversion steps used in traditional hybrid schemes are swapped by multi-input converters (MICs), which syndicate different power sources in a single structure. |
AC – Coupled arrangement having complex structure ,number of device are enlarged as well as the increase of input sources ,the control technology used in ac- coupled is more expensive compare to other system size is great. So it is not appropriate for smart hybrid power system. Similarly this ac-coupled substituted by multi-input converter. |

However this regulated output voltage use to ensure the reliable power supply to dc load .This converter also able to achieving maximum boost efficiency. The PV – hybrid power system, which is a combination of a photovoltaic array, with wind energy, battery, offers a reliable electricity production system. New three-input dc–dc boost converter is proposed for hybrid power system applications. |

Fig.1.illustrates the block diagram of hybrid power system with multi input converter with various input sources. The modified boost converter interfaces two unidirectional ports for input sources, and a bidirectional port for storage Component and a port for output load in an integrated assembly. However this converter is current-source type at the both input power ports and also able to step up the input voltages. This arrangement consumes only four power switches that are independently controlled with four different duty ratios. |
B. Conventional A.C. Coupled System |
SMA Solar Expertise began emerging ac-coupling system platforms using its inverter products in the 1990s. In the years that followed, SMA continued to develop and refine its products and integrated approach to ac coupling. AC – Coupled system having complex system topology ,number of device are enlarged as well as the increase of input sources ,the control technology used in ac- coupled is more costly compare to other system size is large so it not suitable for smart hybrid power system this ac-coupled replaced by multi-input converter. |
C. Multi Input Converter |
An innovative topology for multiple energy source conversion is offered. The topology is capable of interfacing sources of different voltage-current features to a common load, while accomplishing a low part count. A fixed frequency switching approach is investigated and the resulting operational modes are analysed. . The multi –input converter providing simple circuit topology, unified control of power flow bidirectional, high reliability and low cost compare to ac coupled structure. Two multiple-input converters based on flux additively in a multi winding transformer are reported. Because there was no possibility of bidirectional operating of the converter , and complexity of driving circuits and output power limitation in, they are not suitable for hybrid systems, a three-port bidirectional converter with three energetic full bridge circuit, additional two series-resonant tank circuit, and also a three winding highfrequency transformer are projected. In association with three-port circuits in addition with inductors and Diode Bridge circuit at the load end, it stretches higher boost gain and compact switching losses because of soft-switching operation. |

B. Solar V-I Characteristics |
Each solar cell has its own voltage-current characteristics. Figure shows the v-i characteristic of a typical photovoltaic cell. The difficult with extracting the most possible power from a solar panel is due to non linearity of the characteristics curve. The characteristic shows two curves, one shows the behaviour of the current with respect to increasing voltage. The other curve is the power voltage curve and is obtained by the equation (P=VI). |

C. Wind Energy System |
Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are initiated by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun light, the abnormalities of the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow shapes are improved by the earth's landscape, forms of water, and vegetative cover. This wind flow, or motion energy, when "harvested" by modern wind turbines, can be used to produce electricity. Wind turbines, like aircraft propeller blades, effort in the moving air and power an electric generator that supplies an electric power. Simply identified, a wind turbine is the differing of a fan. |
D. Battery |
Battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that transform stored chemical energy into electrical energy as output. It comprises of a number of voltaic cells; every voltaic cell involves of two half-cells connected in sequence by a conductive electrolyte enclosing anions and captions. One half-cell comprises electrolyte and the electrode to which anions (negatively charged ions) drift, the anode or negative electrode; the other half-cell embraces electrolyte and the electrode to which captions (positively charged ions) drift, the cathode or positive electrode as well. |
DC-DC BOOST CONVERTER |
As specified in the introduction, the maximum power point tracking is essentially a load matching is difficult. However to adjust the input resistance of the panel to tie the load resistance (by varying the duty cycle ratio), a DC to DC converter is necessary. It has been considered that the efficiency of the DC to DC converter is extreme for buck converter, then for a buck-boost converter and least for a boost converter but as we propose to use our system whichever for keying to a grid or for a waste pumping structure which entails 230 V at the output end, so we proposes a boost converter. |
