Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan
to the load. Therefore, each component has to be equipped with an individual charge controller and in
the case of diesel generator with a rectifier.
Then, the inverter will convert the DC power stored in the battery bank
to AC at standard level of
voltage and frequency and then supplies to the AC load. The charge regulators used can prevent
overcharging of the battery bank from the wind/PV generators when the renewable power exceeds the
load demand and the batteries are fully charged. In a similar fashion, they will protect the battery bank
from deep discharge when demand exceeds the supply, if it happens.
Fig. 2.40 shows a typical series configuration of HPSs.
This type of configuration is also termed as Centralized DC-bus topology
in the sense that all the
energy generators and the battery are connected at the DC-bus and the AC load is supplied via a
single point. Here, it has to be noted that the AC powers from the
wind turbine and the diesel
generator must be converted into DC by utilizing AC/DC converters or rectifiers before power is
delivered to the DC bus where the BB is connected.
This configuration type results in relatively simple implementation.
There are drawbacks, however,
with this configuration.
-
As most of the energy passes through the battery, it results in increased cycling of the battery
bank and reduces system efficiency [27, 28].
-
There is a need for large size of battery bank to limit the depth of discharge and there is
limited control of the diesel generator as the system is based on level of charge in the battery
rather than the site load [28, 29].
-
Most of the existing systems operate at battery voltages between 24 V and 120 V. In this
scheme, the use of standardized components becomes impossible and every solution has to be
engineered individually increasing the cost of the system [28, 29].
