Abstract - In present situation electrical energy is playing a
crucial role in development of any nation. Enormous
consumption of resources like coal, oil etc. has created demand
for renewable energy. Due to the current requirements for the
use of renewable energy as sources of electrical energy, solar
energy and wind energy is getting much interest all over the
world. This paper consist the simulation modeling of solar and
wind energy system using MATLAB.
Key Words: PV Panel, MPPT, Boost Converter, Wind
Turbine, Permanent Synchronous Generator.
1. INTRODUCTION
Today most of the researches in power system are going on
the development of conventional energy based power
generation. But the issues like international oil crisis, limited
availability of non renewable sources and environmental
pollution effect forced the researcher to think about an
alternative source of energy that can be the solution for the
above issues.. So conventional sources of energy acquire
growing importance due to its enormous consumption and
exhaustion of fossil fuel. The various forms of renewable
energy sources like wind energy, solar energy, biogas
energy, hydro energy, tidal energy etc. can be a probable
solution to this. All these sources of renewable energy are
plentifully available in nature, are recyclable and almost
available free of cost. Moreover, solar energy and wind
energy is the best among all the renewable energy sources.
Energy provided by the sun in one hour is equivalent to the
amount of energy necessary by the human in one year. Photo
voltaic arrays are used in various applications such as
battery charging ,water pumping, street lighting in rural
town, and grid connected PV systems. Solar energy is non
conventional, everlasting and vital source of energy. If used
in a suitable way, it has a capacity to satisfy many energy
needs of the world. The power from the sun captured by
earth is nearly 2631MW. Thus Even though the PV system is
modeled to its high capital fabrication cost and small
conversion efficiency, the sky rocketing oil prices make solar
energy naturally viable energy supply with potentially long-
term benefits. [1] Power-Voltage curve of a solar panel, there
is an optimal operating point such that the PV provides the
maximum possible power to the load. The optimum
operating point varied with solar irradiation and cell
temperature. This paper describe the Perturb And Observe
MPPT algorithm method.
Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuel is exist
plentifully, renewable, largely distributed, unpolluted,
produces zero greenhouse gas throughout operation and
uses diminutive land for its installation.In year 1887 firstly
when wind power was used for producing electricity. Later
that wind energy was used to generate power at small scale.
In the year 1973, when the oil price crisis increases the
research of non-petroleum energy and investigators started
doing research on wind based power generation for more
use. Wind power station can work in both in standalone
mode as well as grid connected mode. In wind energy
conversion systems (WECSs), the main technologies contain
wind turbine technology, permanent magnet synchronous
generator (PMSG) modeling technology, power electronics
technology and system control technology. This paper
describe the control algorithm of direct-driven wind turbine
PMSG system and simulated. The direct-drive wind turbine
PMSG do not have the gearbox between the wind turbine and
rotor shaft, which evade the mechanical power losses
occurred by gearbox. Also the elimination of gearbox also
helps in decreasing the cost of the system. The kinetic energy
of the wind is transformed into mechanical energy by the
turbine by mode of shaft and gearbox arrangement as of the
different operating speed ranges of the wind turbine rotor
and generator. The generator transforms this mechanical
energy into electrical energy. Though, as wind is an irregular
renewable source, the wind source take out by a wind
turbine is therefore not constant. [2] Due to this, the
wavering of wind power results in wavered power output
from wind turbine generator. From the point of view of
utilities, due to the wavering of generator output, it’s not
suitable for the generator to be straight connected to the
power grid. In order to attain the condition that the
generator output power is appropriate for grid-connection, it
is required to use a controller to manage the output
generated by the wind turbine generator.
2. MODELLING OF PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL
Solar cells are joined in series and parallel to build the solar
array. Solar cell will generate dc voltage when the sunlight
fall on it. Fig. 1 shows the equivalent electrical circuit for a
solar cell. Solar cell can be considered as a non-linear current
