Abstract — This thesis first proposes a hybrid
ac/dc micro-grid and its coordination control for
reducing the processes of multiple conversions in
an individual ac or dc grid. Renewable energy
based distributed generators (DGs) play a
dominant role in electricity production, with the
increase in the global warming. Distributed
generation based on wind, solar energy, biomass,
mini-hydro along with use of fuel cells and micro-
turbines will give significant momentum in near
future. Advantages like environmental
friendliness, expandability and flexibility have
made distributed generation, powered by various
renewable and nonconventional micro-sources.
The micro-grid concept introduces the reduction
of multiple reverse conversions in an individual
AC or DC grid and also facilitates connections to
variable renewable AC and DC sources and loads
to power systems. The interconnection of DGs to
the utility/grid through power electronic
converters has risen concerned about safe
operation and protection of equipment’s. To the
customer the micro-grid can be designed to meet
their special requirements. In the present work
the performance of hybrid AC/DC micro-grid
system is analyzed in the grid tied mode. Here
photovoltaic system, wind turbine generator and
battery are used for the development of Micro-
grid. A small hybrid grid has been modeled and
simulated using the Simulink in the MATLAB.
The simulation results show that the system can
maintain stable operation under the proposed
coordination control schemes.

I. INTRODUCTION
As electric distribution technology steps into the next
century, many trends are becoming noticeable that
will change the requirements of energy delivery.
These modifications are being driven from both the
demand side where higher energy availability and
efficiency are desired and from the supply side where
the integration[2] of distributed generation and peak
shaving technologies must be accommodated. Power
systems currently undergo considerable change in
operating requirements mainly as a result of
deregulation and due to an increasing amount of
distributed energy resources.

The micro-grid often supplies both electricity and
heat to the customers by means of combined heat and
power plants (CHP), gas turbines, fuel cells,
photovoltaic (PV) systems, wind turbines, etc. The
energy storage systems usually include batteries and
flywheels. The storing device in the micro-grid [1] is
equivalent to the rotating reserve of large generators
in the conventional grid which ensures the balance
between energy generation and consumption
especially during rapid changes in load or generation.
Recently more renewable power conversion [3]
systems are connected in low voltage ac distribution
systems as distributed generators or ac micro grids
due to environmental issues caused by conventional
fossil fueled power plants [5]-[7]. On other hand,
more and more dc loads such as light-emitting diode
(LED) lights and electric vehicles (EVs) are
connected to ac power systems to save energy and
reduce CO emission. When power can be fully
supplied by local renewable power sources, long
distance high voltage transmission is no longer
necessary. AC micro grids have been proposed to
facilitate the connection of renewable power sources
to conventional ac systems. However, dc power from
