Renewable Energy based microgrids are being considered to provide electricity for the expanding energy demand in the grid distribution network and grid isolated areas. The technical challenges associated with the operation and controls are immense. Electricity generation by Renewable Energy Sources is of stochastic nature such that there is a demand for regulation of voltage output in order to ...

Renewable energy sources like solar and fuel cells are emerging as a promising supplementary power sources due to their merits of cleanness, high efficiency, and high reliability. But the output levels of these are low. An isolated bidirectional full-bridge dc–dc converter can be used for interfacing battery to the system. Because of the presence of leakage inductance of the isolation transform...

Microgrid concept acts as a solution to integrate large amounts of micro generation without disrupting the operation of utility grid. Power generation from renewable energy sources like wind, solar, fuel cells, microturbines etc will give significant momentum in near future. Thus, hybrid AC/DC microgrid will be the best solution to reduce multiple reverse conversions (dc-ac-dc or ac-dc-ac) in a...

This paper proposes a multi-stage power generation system suitable for renewable energy sources, which is composed of a DC-DC power converter and a three-phase inverter. The DC-DC power converter is a boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The DC-DC converter has two switches operates like a continuous conduction mode. The input current of DC-DC...
