Performance Enhancement of a Hybrid AC-DC Microgrid Operating with Alternative Energy Sources Using Supercapacitor

Microgrids with non-conventional energy sources have become popular recently. Hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture is effectual as it avoids several power conversions for the consumers. Therefore, this article presents a comprehensive study on grid-tied HMG PV array and wind conversion system (WECS) principal sources. Fuel cell (FC) acts auxiliary source in DC subgrid supercapacitor (SC) used instantaneous management. The hydrogen storage to store surplus produced by array. flow between subgrids regulated using interlinking converter (ILC) PQ controller. main contribution of comparative investigation operation configuration presence absence bank bus. maximum bus voltage fluctuation during load variations SC found be 6.6 V 3.9 respectively. Similarly, transient supplied 830 W 340
