Abstract

Nowadays, due to various types of load variation in power grid makes the stability issues. This paper represents a PV-Wind based hybrid system connected to a Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) controller with Micro-grid (MG), which is controlled by three-phase Multilevel Inverter (MLI) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Solar cells are connected in series or parallel to built-in PV array. A battery or super capacitor is used to store the generated energy that supplies the voltage to three-phase inverter during the deficiency of sunlight and wind. MPPT controller is connected, which is capable of extracting maximum power from PV array. The proposed technique can efficiently mitigate the power quality problem, for example, voltage interruption, sag, swell, flicker, reactive power, unbalanced neutral current, current and voltage harmonics. PSO algorithm is applied for calculating the exact switching angles for the proposed inverter at each modulation index, considering the minimum total harmonic distortion for the output voltage. The proposed topology improved the voltage harmonics and current harmonics, which includes the enhanced active and reactive power. The optimum inverter switching angles are computed off-line to remove the selected lower order harmonics and suppress the higher order harmonics. The calculated switching angles are stored in micro controller processor memory using mixed model equation for online application. This work concluded that the mode of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) performance is significantly better compared to Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) models. Both the simulation and experimental results agree well with the analytical formulation.
