Need of Unified Multi-input DC-DC Converter for Hybrid Distributed Generating Systems
Various renewable sources of energy have different power generation characteristics.
Presently in order to integrate different renewable power generating sources to a common bus different DC-DC converters are required.
What we did ?
We developed A new unified multi-Input DC-DC Converter topology which is developed for Hybrid Distributed Generating Systems. It is used to integrate the renewables with energy storage device. Interface these with common converter to a grid
Advantages : This eliminates the dedicated DC-DC converters for each individual renewable source. Therefore improves the overall conversion efficiency. A new single integral switching cycle having duty ratio control for each resource to regulate optimal power flow . Improved reliability due to less count of components.
Working Principle :
The control task is implemented using high speed microcontroller (ATmega 328 ). MOSFETS are used for high speed switching . Use of various current and voltage sensors to manipulate input variables. Use of MPPT algorithm to maximize solar power .
Main features :
Integrating power sources having different characteristics in a single unit is a unique feature. The overriding MPPT algorithm continuously trying to maximise the power evacuation to satisfy the load demand. The economic operation through our robust power management algorithm enables the decision on optimal utilisation of available resources. A storage device (Battery) in the system allows further support to the grid under various operating conditions. The low cost microcontrollers and less device count reduces the overall cost and maintenance without compromising with the efficiency. Use of Sine PWM based inverter to maintain power quality on the output side.
More reliable and efficient power conversion system . Use of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to extract maximum available power from solar cells. Efficient power management programme for optimal power flow is realisation through duty cycle control. It provides economical power to the grid with more stable support through battery energy storage having scope in future SMART GRID environment.
Commercial utility :
A Reduced size and low cost device implementing MPPT ,Power management, PWM algorithms thus making it more feasible in fast growing renewable market. Thus using this technology, apart from meeting their own needs, individuals will be able to contribute power to the grid in a distributed grid system.
The power management programme was also verified in simulation with different power flow condition. The MPPT algorithm with incremental conductance method was tested off-line with the PV model simulator.
A fuel cell emulator was developed using controlled constant current source due to cost concerns. The integrated circuit performance was verified with a SPWM based inverter to convert the DC output of this converter to the load under offline condition (THD Performance )
Problems Faced :
Insufficient funding. Availability of components . Need of a well equipped lab. Time to time guidance from subject matter experts and industrial people working in the same field .
Our project won 3rd prize at GRID TECH 13, 4th International exhibition and Conference organised by Power Grid corp. India ltd and supported by Ministry of Power.
