Abstract

Microgrids have emerged as a new way to integrate and use large-scale distributed power to provide electricity to isolated locations, such as islands and villages. A utility engineering microgrid structure is designed to provide fast response and efficient operation by analyzing hybrid power systems and fuzzy-PI-based control techniques. This project aims to design a solar photovoltaic (PV)-battery-diesel generator-based hybrid power system employing a Sepic converter. The Perturb and Observe algorithm is used for maximum power extraction from solar panel. A lithium-ion battery is utilized as a storage battery in this system, which may be charged by the PV source. When the storage battery is depleted and PV generation is unavailable, the charging station uses the grid and a diesel generator. The generated voltage is synchronised at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to achieve continuous charging. The simulation is done in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation output of using the PI control strategy is compared with the fuzzy-PI control strategy. This demonstrates the efficacy of the fuzzy-PI control method.
