A Novel Hybrid Renewable Resources Constructed with Multilevel Inverter Using SVM Technique

Abstract

The proposed system presents power-control strategies of a grid-connected hybrid generation system with versatile power transfer. This hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available renewable energy sources like wind, fuel and photovoltaic energies. For this, an adaptive MPPT algorithm along with standard perturbs and observes method will be used for the system.

The objective of this paper is to study a novel Multi level multistring inverter topology for DERs based DC/AC conversion system. In this study, a high step-up converter is introduced as a front-end stage to improve the conversion efficiency of conventional boost converters and to stabilize the output DC voltage of various DERs such as PV, Wind and fuel cell modules for use with the simplified newly constructed multilevel inverter. The proposed multilevel inverter requires only six active switches instead of the eight required in the conventional cascaded H- bridge (CCHB) multilevel inverter, control with SVM technique.

The inverter converts the DC output from non-conventional energy into useful AC power for the connected load. This hybrid system operates under normal conditions which include conventional and proposed cases of solar energy, fuel and wind energy. The proposed simulation results are presented to illustrate the operating principle, feasibility and reliability of this proposed system for Renewable resources.
