Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan
The project which is presented in this paper is to investigate for the best design layout (connection
topology); to size the system elements appropriately; to design different models and simulate for the
different power management strategies which are defined for the system of the HPSs, which consists
of renewable energy sources (PV-arrays and wind generator), conventional backup energy source
(diesel engine generator) and energy storage bank (battery bank) to sustainably and efficiently satisfy
the energy demand of remote site.
Objectives The objectives of the project are: -
•
To investigate for the best design layout (connection topology), model and simulate the
selected topology for different power management strategies of the HPSs, which consists of
renewable energy sources (PV-arrays and wind generator), conventional backup energy
source (diesel engine generator) and energy storage bank (battery bank) to sustainably and
efficiently satisfy the energy demand of remote places, where main grid electricity has not
reached yet due to many geographical and economic constraints.
•
Understanding micro-grid concept and understanding of power integration between various
renewable energy sources with the micro grid
•
Understanding and designing of the various power electronics used in integration between
generation source and the micro-grid
•
Designing an improved prototype, demonstrate the tests and analysing the system output.
•
Carrying a series of experiments through simulation to achieve the best connection topology
and analysing the outcome generated.
•
Understand of the MPPT and its principle algorithm.
•
Achieving the project management skills.
