Abstract - Frequency deviation is the major problem in
microgrid due to the varying power output from the
renewable energy sources. In this paper, solar and wind are
taken as prime source of power. Since the renewables lack
inertia diesel-generator is used to provide inertia to the
system and energy storage devices are used. The proposed
controller has less settling time compared to the
conventional controllers. Artificial neuro-fuzzy inference
system (ANFIS) controller combines the features of fuzzy
and neural and has improved performance where the fuzzy
rules modify the network according to the power output.
The results are obtained using MATLAB/Simulink model.
Key Words: renewables, frequency deviation, settling
time, fuzzy, ANFIS.
1. INTRODUCTION
A hybrid energy system might consist of various
renewable energy conversion component like wind
turbine, PV array and hydro turbines as well as
conventional non-renewable generators like diesel
generators, and storage devices. To overcome the
incredible power crisis in the country, the best way is to
make use of renewable energy sources. It is inexhaustible
and non-polluting. It has the advantages of low running
and maintenance cost and also noiseless operation.
The voltage power characteristic of a photovoltaic (PV)
array is nonlinear and time varying because of the changes
caused by the atmospheric conditions [1]. When the solar
radiation and temperature varies, the output power of the
PV module is also getting changed. But to get the
maximum efficiency of the PV module it must be operated
at maximum point,so it is necessary to operate the PV
module at its maximum power point for all irradiance and
temperature conditions[2]. To obtain maximum power
from photovoltaic array, photovoltaic power system
usually requires maximum power point tracking
controller (MPPT).
Block diagram of the microgrid is shown in fig.1. Here
Solar, wind, diesel are used as prime source of power
production and energy storage devices such as battery and
fuel cell are used. The power produced from PV array is
varying according to irradiance and temperature hence a
zeta converter is used to boost the voltage level. Inverter is
used before connecting to the load. Similarly wind, battery
and fuel cell are simulated in the same fashion as earlier.
Fig -1: Block diagram of test system
Paper is as follows. In introduction an overview is
given. Solar panel is simulated along with converter and
inverter. Wind energy conversion system is modelled
followed by diesel engine generator and energy storage
units such as battery and fuel energy storage systems.
Initially PI controller is used to attain stability and the
proposed controller is implemented which shows
improved performance which are discussed in the results
section.
2. MODELLING COMPONENTS
2.1. PV ARRAY
Photovoltaic cells are connected electrically in
series and/or parallel circuits to produce higher voltages,
currents and power levels. Photovoltaic modules consist of
PV cell circuits sealed in an environmentally protective
laminate, and are the fundamental building blocks of PV
systems. Photovoltaic panels include one or more PV
modules assembled as a pre-wired, field-installable unit. A
photovoltaic array is the complete power-generating unit,
consisting of any number of PV modules and panels.
The performance of PV modules and arrays are generally
rated according to their maximum DC power output
(watts) under Standard Test Conditions (STC). Standard
Test Conditions are defined by a module (cell) operating
temperature of 25o C (77o F), and incident solar
irradiance level of 1000 W/m2 and under Air Mass 1.5
spectral distribution. Since these conditions are not
always typical of how PV modules and arrays operate in
the field, actual performance is usually 85 to 90 percent of
the STC rating.
