Abstract

A network that connects all components together is referred to as a grid. A study has been conducted over hybrid system which is a self-sustainable grid. The hybrid system is connected with the grid at Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The aim of this paper is to focus on the behavior of different intermittent energy sources, which are complementary to each other or not. For this purpose, research papers related to different intermittent energy sources are considered, and the behavior of renewable sources in different regions are discussed. Integration of solar, wind and battery sources to main grid, and a suitable control system for the PCC is presented that provides uninterrupted power flow from the hybrid system to load and the main power grid. The current and voltage regulator on PCC are optimized by Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The hybrid system in this paper contains multiple power generator sources that include photovoltaic cells (PV), wind turbine and battery. Negative impact on main power grid by changing power through PCC are also examined.
