Abstract

In the present day, electric performs a crucial role in facilitating daily tasks. However, it is sad that many locations lack access to energy due to challenges faced by power grid networks. For the countryside, the optimal solution is to install a local independent power system to supply the necessary electricity for improved quality of life. Diesel generators are predominantly utilized for power generating, however, they are not cost-effective or environmentally friendly due to the escalating price of diesel and the emission of carbon compounds and noise during power generation. An alternate option is to install a stand-alone power system that relies on renewable energy sources. Wind power generation is the most widely used kind of renewable energy, although the use of Photovoltaic power systems is also steadily increasing in society. Integrating two or more renewable systems enhances the reliability of stand-alone power sources. This study presents a proposed hybrid power generation system that combines wind and solar energy sources. The system is designed for standalone use in rural areas. MPPT converters are also incorporated to optimize the utilization of renewable energy sources by achieving the greatest power output. To enhance reliability, the system is equipped with a battery that includes a voltage-based controller. Furthermore, the majority of the distribution loads in a three-phase power system were unbalanced. Therefore, it is essential that there are balancing voltage at the load bus in order to provide high power quality. To provide optimal power quality, a controller is specifically created for the inverter to regulate the single phase voltages and maintain them at their designated value of reference. Comprehensive controllers are created and evaluated in MATLAB Simulink for both balancing and unbalanced loads scenarios. The controllers operate adequately under a range of potential situations.
