Inter connection of wind and photovoltaic systems: modelling, conversion and control

ABSTRACT

The importance and usage of renewable energy resources such as wind, photo voltaic systems, fuel cell, etc., has been increased exponentially day by day. This importance is mainly due to its abundant availability and low running cost. However, efficient energy harnessing from these sources is still a challenging task. Further, interconnection of these sources caters the needs of rural villages, which not only reduce the transmission losses but also improves the local controlling capability. Perhaps, interconnection of these intermittent resources increase the complexity in control. Hence, in this article, an exhaust review about the interconnection of Photo Voltaic (PV), Fuel and Wind energy system has been performed. In particular, it focusses on modelling, conversion and control of interconnected systems, which will help a researcher to pinpoint the problem of research and can investigate further to solve.
