Power Management of Standalone Hybrid Energy Systems: A Proposed Research Presentation On
India has 5th position in the installed capacity of renewable energy. Renewable
energy accounts for approximately 35.86% of a total 370 GW of power
generation capacity installed in India [6].
Demand for power in India has been increasing due to the rising population,
growing economy, and changing lifestyles. Despite substantial capacity
additions, the power sector is still in shortage of energy.

Wind and PV are the primary power sources of the system to take full
advantages of renewable energy and the SMES is used as a power backup
and a long-term storage system [10]. A battery bank is also used in the
system for short time backup to supply transient power.
The basic concerns of hybrid energy systems are the energy management,
optimal design and control of power electronic circuits [12].
Wind Power Generation
In the wind power generation, it is important to keep the wind turbine
at optimal speed for the stabilization of the power generation regardless of
the wind speed variations [13]. In order to reduce the fluctuations in
generated power caused by the wind speed variations, the pitch angle of
the blades plays important role for power generation [14].

Tip speed ratio is defined as V

Where the rotation speed of the rotor, R is the rotor radius and is the
wind speed.

Photovoltaic
The Power PVGeneration
array source consists of many series-parallel PV modules
connected to provide the desired DC voltage required by the system. The
solar cell usually represented by simplified equivalent circuit model is

It is clear from figure (4) that higher irradiance results into larger short circuit
current (Isc) and It is also clear from figure (5), at the lower temperature
ranges, the output current and voltage are maximum.
Photovoltaic Power Generation
The main hindrance for the penetration and reach of solar PV systems is its low
efficiency and high capital cost. The concept of maximum power point tracking
significantly increases the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic system.
A typical solar panel converts only 20 to 30% of the incident solar irradiation into
electrical energy. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is used to
improve the efficiency of the solar panel [15]. In the source side boost converter
connected to a solar panel is used order to enhance the output voltage so that it can
be used for different applications like lighting load and motor load. By changing the
duty cycle of the boost converter appropriately source side impedance can be
matched with that of the load impedance to transfer maximum power.
Different techniques used to track the maximum power point are reported in
literature. Few of them are:
1) Perturb and observe (hill climbing method)
2) Incremental conductance method
3) Fractional short circuit current/ open circuit voltage method
4) Artificial intelligent based approach
5) Optimization based approach
SMES
(Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage)
A SMES system stores energy in the magnetic field created by the DC current
which passes through a superconducting coil in short circuit [16].
The system can only work if the coil is maintained below the critical temperature of
the superconductor (Tc), hence it is necessary to include a cryogenic system in the
operation of SMES.
As the electrical resistance of the coil becomes zero Ω, there are no ohmic losses,
meaning that a high operating efficiency (over 95%) can be achieved [17].
The main source of inefficiency comes from the refrigeration system which keeps
the cryogen below Tc, thus to minimize this, the coil has to be properly insulated so
no heat is exchanged with the surrounding environment. Other losses appear in the
power electronics from the Power Conditioning System (PCS).

where L is the coil inductance and I is the current circulating through the
coil. The higher the inductance and the current circulating through the coil,
the more energy can be stored.
BATTERY BANK
Batteries are all electrochemical, with an electrolyte coming between two
electrodes. During discharge, ions are freed from the first electrode called
anode, into the electrolytic solution and lay oxides on the second electrode
called cathode. Recharge process is the reverse of charging process.
In a flow battery, the flux of electrolyte via an electrochemical cell
transforms the chemical energy to electricity. The electrolyte contains
dissolved electroactive liquid. By hanging this liquid, flow battery can be
quickly recharged. Additional electrolyte is kept externally, normally in
tanks, and pumped through the cells of a reactor.
BATTERY BANK
The authors [19] list the appropriate types of batteries for utility energy
storage, including Lead-Acid Batteries, Lithium-Ion Batteries, Metal–air
Batteries, Sodium-Sulphur Batteries, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries, and
Zinc Bromide Flow Batteries. Batteries are commercially available and
cost-effective energy storage technologies [20].
Batteries are very modular technologies. The storage capacity increases
with the number of batteries added to a battery bank.
A battery bank is incorporated in this distributed energy system as a
backup source for emergency use. The battery bank is used when a sudden
load change occurs for a short period of time.

be done in Matlab/ Simulink environment. Lastly the work will be compiled as
per thesis outline.
