Abstract

The global community investigates strategies to harness renewable energy sources, aiming to address climate change and reduce reliance on non-renewable resources. Solar and wind power have gained widespread popularity. Nevertheless, the fluctuation and absence of regulation over wind speeds and solar radiation pose challenges. Therefore, the incorporation of an energy storage system is essential for maximizing the utilization of these energy sources by converting them into electrical power. Batteries are commonly utilized in medium power applications; therefore, a bidirectional DC to DC circuit is implemented to maintain a consistent voltage at the DC-link, regardless of varying operational conditions, by managing the charging and discharging processes of the battery in accordance with generation and load requirements. A novel control algorithm was created to ensure power quality at the 3-phase AC load bus and manage energy in the hybrid standalone system. The proposed control technique employs super twisting sliding mode controllers to improve system efficiency when compared to conventional controllers. The results of this study, conducted using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) technology and two OPAL-RT modules, have been presented to assess performance in different scenarios.
