Abstract

Most of the world's energy sources are come from conventional ones namely fossil fuels such as oil (petrol, diesel, etc.), coal, and of course natural gases. However, the alarming decline in the levels of fossil fuels is a clear sign of its rapid and early extinction. Hence demand for a renewable energy sources increases as it is environment friendly and pollution free, and reduces the greenhouse effect. Introducing renewable energy is one of the solution for the issue, among others PV and wind energy are clean and abundantly available in nature. The advantage of utilizing renewable resources over conventional methods lies in significant reduction in the level of pollution. The cost of conventional energy is mounting and solar energy has evolved to be a latent alternative. Solar energy is abundant, pollution free, distributed throughout the earth and is recyclable. The Photovoltaic (PV) systems output power fluctuates according to the irradiation and temperature (weather conditions). Irregular PV output power results in frequency variations in the power systems, especially when the penetration is high. The power generated through PVs or other dispersed power source has to be connected to conventional power grid. PV power is embedded to the grid at substation level, this helps to extend more reliable, and better grid quality power. The hybrid power system consists of DC-DC converters which offer high dynamic performance and frequency modulation transients, without quantization effects and low-complexity, the key findings of the present task. The main aim of this paper is to design, development of microgrid with Synchronous Reference Frame Control for PV module in MATLAB Simulink environment, and customized for accurate analysis by using PSO-BFOA based Incremental Conductance method to reduce sustained oscillations and fast searching of MPPT, generated FPGA coding for MPPT, and multilevel inverter.
