This paper proposes a method for operating a grid connected hybrid system. This system composed of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered. As the variations occur in temperature and irradiation during power delivery to load, Photo voltaic (PV) system becomes uncontrollable. In coordination with PEMFC, the hybrid system output power becomes controllable. Two operation modes are the unit-power control (UPC) mode and the feeder-flow control (FFC) mode, can be applied to the hybrid system. All MPPT methods follow the same goal that is maximizing the PV system output power by tracking the maximum power on every operating condition. Maximum power point tracking technique (Incremental conductance) for photovoltaic systems was introduced to maximize the produced energy. The coordination of two control modes, coordination of the PV array and the PEMFC in the hybrid system, and determination of reference parameters are presented. The proposed operating strategy systems with a flexible operation mode change always operate the PV array at maximum output power and the PEMFC in its high efficiency performance band. Also thus improving the performance of system operation, enhancing system stability, and reducing the number of operating mode changes.

This document describes a global maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for photovoltaic arrays under partial shading conditions. The algorithm uses an improved perturb and observe method to iteratively adjust the voltage input to a boost converter connected to the PV array in order to extract the maximum available power. Simulation and hardware results show the algorithm is able to track the global MPP under various non-uniform insolation patterns, outperforming conventional MPPT methods. The algorithm was tested on a PV array subjected to different insolation levels on each panel, and it successfully delivered the maximum available power to the load in each case with only around 2W of converter losses.

The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems is increasingly growing in importance since they involve an exploitation of solar radiation constituting an energy source which is renewable, available in most places, and pollution-free. Despite their numerous advantages, PV systems have two major drawbacks: low energy conversion efficiency and loss of energy due to variations in meteorological conditions; for this reason, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques play a key role in exploiting the maximum energy caught by PV modules. The output characteristic of a photovoltaic array is nonlinear and changes with solar irradiation and the cell’s temperature. Therefore, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to draw peak power from the solar array to maximize the produced energy. In this study we have analyzed the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method and finding out a new and easier way to track maximum power point (MPP) and also our study is focused to overcome the drawbacks of MPPT. This research paper presents a novel MPP tracking method for tracking exact Maximum Power Point (MPP) if the irradiation or load changes.

A Study of Shading Effect on Photovoltaic Modules with Proposed P&O Checking ...Yayah Zakaria
Sun irradiation levels and associated temperature changes are the main factors that influence the conversion of solar energy into electricity. Most energy is produced during a hot sunny day as the sun irradiation is at the maximum level and uniform throughout the solar photovoltaic (PV). However, most solar PV were frequently get shadowed, completely or partially, by the neighbouring buildings, trees and passing clouds. Consequently, the solar PV has lower voltage and current output, hence,
multiple maximum power points (MPP) are existed on the PV curve, which could cause confusion to the conventional Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) to track the true MPP for the PV system. Thus, it is important to examine the impacts of partial shading on the solar PV in order to extract the maximum possible power. This paper presents a MATLAB-based modelling for simulation and experimental setup to study the I-V and P-V characteristics of a solar module under a non-uniform irradiation due to partial shading condition (PSC). Furthermore, this study is also proposed an effective method (a variable step size of P&O with checking algorithm) that is low cost and higher tracking efficiency. Thus, this study is essential in improving and evaluating any new MPPT algorithm under the PSC.

As the wind power installations are increasing in number, Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) are required to have Fault Ride-Through (FRT) capabilities. Lately developed grid operating codes demand the WTGs to stay connected during fault conditions, supporting the grid to recover faster back to its normal state. In this paper, the generator side converter incorporates the maximum power point tracking algorithm to extract maximum energy from wind turbine system. A hybrid control scheme for energy storage systems (ESS) and braking choppers for fault ride-through capability and a suppression of the output power fluctuation is proposed for permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine systems. During grid faults, the dc-link voltage is controlled by the ESS instead of the line-side converter (LSC), whereas the LSC is exploited as a STATCOM to inject reactive current into the grid for assisting in the grid voltage recovery. A simple model of the proposed system is developed and simulated in MATLAB environment. The effectiveness of the system is validated through extensive simulation results

IMPROVED SWARM INTELLIGENCE APPROACH TO MULTI OBJECTIVE ED PROBLEMSSuganthi Thangaraj
Electrical power industry restructuring has created highly vibrant and competitive market that altered many aspects of the power industry. In this changed scenario, scarcity of energy resources, increasing power generation cost, environment concern, ever growing demand for electrical energy necessitate optimal economic dispatch. Practical economic dispatch (ED) problems have nonlinear, non-convex type objective function with intense equality and inequality constraints. The conventional optimization methods are not able to solve such problems as due to local optimum solution convergence. Metaheuristic optimization techniques especially Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) has gained an incredible recognition as the solution algorithm for such type of ED problems in last decade. The application of IPSO in ED problem, which is considered as one of the most complex optimization problem has been summarized in present paper. This paper illustrates successful implementation of the Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) to Economic Load Dispatch Problem (ELD). Power output of each generating unit and optimum fuel cost obtained using IPSO algorithm has been compared with conventional techniques. The results obtained shows that IPSO algorithm converges to optimal fuel cost with reduced computational time when compared to PSO and GA for the three, six and IEEE 30 bus system.

Metaheuristic optimization techniques especially Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) has gained an incredible recognition as the solution algorithm for such type of ED problems in last decade. The application of IPSO in ED problem, which is considered as one of the most complex optimization problem has been summarized in present paper. This paper illustrates successful implementation of the Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) to Economic Load Dispatch Problem (ELD). Power output of each generating unit and optimum fuel cost obtained using IPSO algorithm has been compared with conventional techniques. The results obtained shows that IPSO algorithm converges to optimal fuel cost with reduced computational time when compared to PSO and GA for the three, six and IEEE 30 bus system.

Design and Simulation of a Three Phase Power Converter Connected To a Distrib...IJERA Editor
The distributed generation systems based on renewable energy sources (photovoltaic, fuel cells, and storage systems such as ultra capacitors and batteries) are of great interest due to their low environmental impact and technical advantages such as improvements in voltage levels and reduced power losses when a distributed generation system is installed in radial lines. Two control algorithms were proposed to improve the grid-connected and intentional-islanding operations methods, in which the distributed generation system must detect the situation and switch from power or current to voltage as a control variable to provide constant rms voltage to the local loads. The power flow between the grid and the distributed generation is controlled by applying a power/voltage method that regulates the amplitude and the displacement of the grid voltage synthesized by the distributed generation, while a phase-locked loop algorithm is used to synchronize the grid and distributed generation.

This document discusses a proposed method for improving power quality using a distributed power flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is similar in structure to a unified power flow controller but eliminates the common DC link between converters. It uses a single shunt converter and multiple independent series converters connected along the transmission line. The DPFC is able to control transmission line parameters like impedance, angle, and voltage. It can mitigate issues like voltage sags and current swells. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink show the DPFC effectively improves power quality by reducing sags, swells, and harmonics when a three-phase fault is applied to the system.

OPERATION & CONTROL OF SMART GRID CONNECTED PV- FC HYBRID POWER SYSTEMD.IJERA Editor
This paper presents a method to operate and control a grid connected hybrid power system. The hybrid system composed of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered. The PV array normally uses a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest power to the load when variations in irradiation and temperature occur, which make it become an uncontrollable source. In coordination with PEMFC, the hybrid system output power becomes controllable. Two operation modes, the unit-power control (UPC) mode and the feeder-flow control (FFC) mode, can be applied to the hybrid system. The coordination of two control modes, the coordination of the PV array and the PEMFC in the hybrid system, and the determination of reference parameters are presented. The proposed operating strategy with a flexible operation mode change always operates the PV array at maximum output power and the PEMFC in its high efficiency performance band, thus improving the performance of system operation, enhancing system stability, and decreasing the number of operating mode changes

This document summarizes an operating strategy for a grid-connected hybrid power system consisting of a photovoltaic array and proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The strategy determines the control mode (unit power control or feeder flow control) and reference power values. In unit power control mode, the reference power is set such that the PV array operates at maximum power and the fuel cell operates within its high efficiency band. The reference power is increased incrementally as PV output increases beyond certain thresholds to maintain these constraints. The strategy aims to improve system performance and stability while minimizing the number of control mode changes.

Rahul Ghore presents a comparison of different MPPT techniques for photovoltaic systems. A fuzzy logic MPPT controller is designed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results show the fuzzy logic controller tracks maximum power point more effectively than perturb and observe method under changing irradiance levels. The MPPT system with fuzzy logic controller and buck-boost converter maintains continuous source current and delivers power to both DC and AC loads, improving reliability.
The power supplied by photovoltaic DC–DC converter is affected by two factors, sun irradiance and temperature. Therefore, to improve the performance of the PV system; a mechanism to track the maximum power point (MPP) is required. Conventional maximum power point tracking approaches, such as observation and perturbation technique present some difficulties in identifying the true MPP. Therefore, intelligent systems including fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are introduced for the maximum power point tracking system (MPPT). In this paper, we present a comparative study of the PV standalone system which is controlled by three techniques. The first one is conventional based on the observation and perturbation technique, the other are intelligent based on fuzzy logic according Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno models. The investigations show that the fuzzy logic controllers provide the best results and Takagi-Sugeno model presents the lower overshoot value.

Integral sliding-mode controller for maximum power point tracking in the grid...IJECEIAES
The output power generated in the photovoltaic modules depends both on the solar radiation and the temperature of the solar cells. To maximize the efficiency of the system, it is required to monitor the maximum power point of the photovoltaic system. For this purpose, monitoring the maximum power point (MPPT) of photovoltaic systems should be as quick and accurately as possible for increasing energy production, which ultimately increases the cost-efficiency of the photovoltaic system. This paper proposes a new approach for MPPT) using the concept of the integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) to ensure fast and precise monitoring of the peak power. The performance of the ISMC is significantly influenced by the choice of the sliding surface. To assess the reliability ISMC control, the results have been compared with those of a PI controller. The results obtained are used to evaluate the performance of the ISMC strategy under different climatic conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed solution is confirmed using simulations in PSIM tools and experimental results were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The output characteristics of the photovoltaic (PV) installation normally depend on solar radiation and ambient temperature, the charge impedance, its maximum power point (MPP) is not constant. In each state of the PV module has a point where it can produce its MPP. Therefore, MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) methods can be used to keep the photovoltaic panel running on its MPP. In this article, the objective was to determine how the different maximum point power monitoring (MPPT) techniques applied to PV systems work. Therefore, two MPPT algorithms are presented and compared under different temperature and radiation conditions: MRAC methods and sliding mode controller combined with the Incremental Conductivity (IC) algorithm. These algorithms are widely used in PV systems because of their easy implementation and low cost. These techniques were analyzed and their performance evaluated using the PSIM software under different types of solar radiation and temperature.

Tracking the maximum power point plays an important role for the optimization of the solar energy. The objective here is to study experimentally optimizing photovoltaic (PV) systems connected to a DC-DC converter (Boost) and a resistive load.

The system has tracked precisely the maximum power point, with a very fast response and the unit power factor has been observed under different atmospheric conditions. Moreover, the best advantage of the controller is that it’s a good corrector of the grid perturbation and system parameter disturbance. The simulation result has demonstrated the performance of this strategy.

It begins by discussing existing MPPT methods like fractional open circuit voltage, perturb and observe, and incremental MPPT with variable step size. It then proposes a new hybrid algorithm that combines advantages of these methods. The hybrid algorithm initializes the PV array voltage to 78% of open circuit voltage. It then uses perturb and observe with a variable step size and selects between two tracking schemes based on how rapidly irradiation is changing. Simulation results in MATLAB and PSIM showed improved starting performance and tracking effects over earlier MPPT methods.

This paper presents techniques of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) implemented with finite step model predictive control (FSMPC) for the application of Asymmetrical Γ -source inverter. Incremental conductance MPPT algorithm and FSMPC model is developed to control the output current of the grid-tied Inverter. Both steady-state and transient results show that the high efficiency and robust response of the proposed control technique. Impedance-source inverters are inverters with voltage buck- boost capability that cannot be achieved by the traditional inverters. Their boost capability is introduced by shorting their phase-legs without causing damages. Impedance-source inverters are therefore less prone to false triggering caused by electromagnetic interference. The asymmetrical Γ -source inverters proposed in the paper, whose gain is raised by lowering their turns ratio towards unity. Input current drawn by the proposed inverters is smoother and hence more adaptable by the source.

This system composed of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered. As the variations occur in temperature and irradiation during power delivery to load, Photo voltaic (PV) system becomes uncontrollable. In coordination with PEMFC, the hybrid system output power becomes controllable.

All MPPT methods follow the same goal that is maximizing the PV system output power by tracking the maximum power on every operating condition. Maximum power point tracking technique (Incremental conductance) for photovoltaic systems was introduced to maximize the produced energy. The coordination of two control modes, coordination of the PV array and the PEMFC in the hybrid system, and determination of reference parameters are presented. The proposed operating strategy systems with a flexible operation mode change always operate the PV array at maximum output power and the PEMFC in its high efficiency performance band.

I. INRODUCTION
Demand has increased for renewable sources of energy. One of these sources is solar energy. The photovoltaic (PV) array normally uses a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to continuously deliver the highest power to the load when there are variations in irradiation and temperature. The disadvantage of PV energy is that the PV output power depends on weather conditions and cell temperature, making it an uncontrollable source. Furthermore, it is not available during the night. In order to overcome these inherent drawbacks, alternative sources, such as PEMFC, should be installed in the hybrid system. By changing the FC output power, the hybrid source output becomes controllable. However, PEMFC, in its turn, works only at a high efficiency within a specific power range PFClow÷ PFCup )[1], [2]. The hybrid system can either be connected to the main grid or work autonomously with respect to the grid-connected mode or islanded mode, respectively.
In order to implement the MPPT algorithm, a buck-boost dc/dc converter is used. The buck-boost converter consists of one switching device (GTO) that enables it to turn on and off depending on the applied gate signal. The gate signal for the GTO can be obtained by comparing the saw tooth waveform with the control voltage [3]. The output voltage is of the opposite polarity than the input in the buck-boost converter. This is the main drawback of the buck-boost converter, to overcome this draw back boost converter is used. In a boost converter, the output voltage is always higher than the input voltage.
II. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Structure of Grid-Connected Hybrid Power System In the grid-connected mode the hybrid source is connected to the main grid at the point of common coupling (PCC) to deliver power to the load. When load demand changes, the power supplied by the main grid and hybrid system must be properly changed. The power delivered from the main grid and PV array as well as PEMFC must be coordinated to meet load demand. The hybrid source has two control modes: 1) unit-power control (UPC) mode and feeder-flow control (FFC) mode.
In the UPC mode, variations of load demand are compensated by the main grid because the hybrid source output is regulated to reference power. Therefore, the reference value of the hybrid source output must be determined. In the FFC mode, the feeder flow is regulated to a constant, the extra load

demand is picked up by the hybrid source, and, hence, the feeder reference power must be known. The proposed operating strategy is to coordinate the two control modes and determine the reference values of the UPC mode and FFC mode so that all constraints are satisfied.

MPPT Control Maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) play a main role in photovoltaic (PV) power systems because they maximize the power output from a PV system for a given set of conditions, and therefore maximize the array efficiency. Thus, an MPPT [19] can minimize the overall system cost. There are many MPPT methods available the most widely-used technique is incremental conductance method described in the following sections. They also vary in complexity, sensor requirement, speed of convergence, cost, range of operation, popularity, ability to detect multiple local maxima and their applications [7-8]. Specifically the Power Point Tracker is a high frequency DC to DC converter. They take the DC input from the solar panels, change it to high frequency AC, and convert it back down to a different DC voltage and current to exactly match the panels to the loads. MPPT's operate at very high audio frequencies, usually in the 20-80 kHz range. The advantage of high frequency circuits is that they can be designed with very high efficiency transformers and small components. Some MPPTs are more rapid and accurate and thus more impressive which need special design and familiarity with specific subjects such as fuzzy logic or neural network methods. MPPT fuzzy logic controllers have good performance under varying atmospheric conditions and exhibits better performance in contrast with P&O control method [11]; however the main disadvantage of this method is that its effectiveness is highly dependent on the technical knowledge of the engineer in computing the error and coming up with the rule base table. It is greatly dependant on the how designer arranges the system which requires skill and experience. Incremental Conduction Algorithm The Incremental Conductance method [9-13] offers good performance under rapidly changing atmospheric conditions. The derivative of output power P with respective to panel voltage V is equal to zero at Maximum Power Point(MPP). MPP. The basic equations of this method are as follow.

Fig.3 Boost Converter topology III. CONTROL OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM The control modes in the micro grid include unit power control, feeder flow control, and mixed control mode. The two control modes were first proposed by Lasserter [14]. In the UPC mode, the DGs (the hybrid source in this system) regulate the voltage magnitude at the connection point and the power that source is injecting. In this mode if a load increases anywhere in the micro grid, the extra power comes from the grid, since the hybrid source regulates to a constant power. In the FFC mode, the DGs regulate the voltage magnitude at the connection point and the power that is flowing in the feeder at connection pointPfeeder. With this control mode, extra load demands are picked up by the DGs, which maintain a constant load from the utility viewpoint. In the mixed control mode, the same DG could control either its output power or the feeder flow power. In other words, the mixed control mode is a coordination of the UPC mode and the FFC mode.
Both of these concepts were considered in [15]– [18]. In this paper, a coordination of the UPC mode and the FFC mode was investigated to determine when each of the two control modes was applied and to determine a reference value for each mode. Moreover, in the hybrid system, the PV and PEMFC sources have their constraints. Therefore, the reference power must be set at an appropriate value so that the constraints of these sources are satisfied. The proposed operation strategy presented in the next section is also based on the minimization of mode change. This proposed operating strategy will be able to improve performance of the system’s operation

and enhance system stability. IV. OPERATING STRATEGY OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM As mentioned before, the purpose of the operating algorithm is to determine the control mode of the hybrid source and the reference value for each control mode so that the PV is able to work at maximum output power and the constraints are fulfilled. Once the constraints ( PFclow , PFcup and PFmax ) are known, the control mode of the hybrid source (UPC mode and FFC mode) depends on load variations and the PV output. The control mode is decided by the algorithm shown in Fig. 7, Subsection B. In the UPC mode, the reference output power of the hybrid source PMsref depends on the PV output and the constraints of the FC output. The algorithm determining PMsref is presented in Subsection A and is depicted in Fig. 4. The presented algorithm determines the hybrid source works in the UPC mode. This algorithm allows the PV to work at its maximum power point, and the FC to work within its high efficiency band. In the UPC mode, the hybrid source regulates the output to the reference value. Then PPv + PFC = PMsref (15) Equation (15) shows that the variations of the PV output will be compensated for by the FC power and, thus, the total power will be regulated to the reference value. However, the FC output must satisfy its constraints and, hence, PMsref must set at an appropriate value. Fig. 4 shows the operation strategy of the hybrid source in UPC mode to determine PMsref . The algorithm includes two areas: Area 1 and Area 2. In Area 1, PPv is less than PPv1 , and then the reference power PMs1ref is set at PFcup where PPv1= PFcup - PFclow (16) PMs1ref = PFcup (17) If PV output is zero, then (11) deduces PFC to be equal to PFcup . If the PV output increases to PPv1 , then from (15) and (16), we obtain PFC equal to PFclow . In other words, when the PV output varies from zero to PPv1 , the FC output will change from PFcup to PFclow. As a result, the constraints for the FC output always reach Area 1. It is noted that the reference power of the hybrid source during the UPC mode is fixed at a constant PFcup .
Area 2 is for the case in which PV output power is greater than PPv1. As examined earlier, when the PV output increases to PPv1 , the FC output will decrease to its lower limit PFclow. If PV output keeps increasing, the FC output will decrease below its limit PFclow . In this case, to operate the PV at its maximum power point and the FC within its limit, the reference power must be increased. As depicted in Fig. 4, if PV output is larger than PPv1 the reference power will be increased by the amount of △PMS , and we obtain PMs2ref = PMs1ref + △PMS (18) Similarly, if PPv is greater than PPv2 , the FC output becomes less than its lower limit and the reference power will be thus increased by the amount of △PMS . In other words, the reference power remains unchanged and equal to PMs2ref if PPv is less than PPv2 and greater than PPv1 where PPv2 = PPv1 + △PMS (19) it is noted that △PMS is limited so that with the new reference power, the FC output must be less than its upper limit PFcup . Then, we have △PMS ≤ PFcup - PFclow (20) In general, if the PV output is between PPvi and between PPvi−1 (i=1, 2, 3, 4………..), then we have PMsiref = PMsi−1ref + △PMS (21) PPvi = PPvi−1 + △PMS (22) Equations (21) and (22) show the method of finding the reference power when the PV output is in Area 2. The relationship between PMsiref and PPvi is obtained by using (16), (17), and(22) in (21), and then

PMsiref = PPvi + PFcmin , i=1, 2, 3, 4……….. (23) The determination of in Area 1 and Area 2 can be generalized by starting the index i from 1. Therefore, if the PV output is PPvi−1 ≤ PPv ≤ PPvi , i = 1, 2, 3, 4……….. then we have PMsiref = PPvi + PFcmin , i = 1, 2, 3, 4……….. (24) PPvi = PPvi−1 + △PMS , i = 1, 2, 3, 4………. (25) it is noted that when is given in (16), and PPvi−1 = PPv0 = 0 (26) In brief, the reference power of the hybrid source is determined according to the PV output power. If the PV output is in Area 1 , the reference power will always be constant and set at PFcup . Otherwise, the reference value will be changed by the amount of △PMS , according to the change of PV power. The reference power of the hybrid source in Area 1 and Area 2 is determined by (24) and (25). PPv0, PPv1 and △PMS are shown in (26), (16), and (20), respectively.
Fig. 5. Shows the control algorithm diagram for determining the reference power automatically. The constant must satisfy (16). If increases the number of change of will decrease and thus the performance of system operation will be improved. However, C should be small enough so that the frequency does not change over its limits 5%).
Fig. 5. Control algorithm diagram in the UPC mode (Pref automatically changing).
In order to improve the performance of the algorithm, a hysteresis is included in the simulation model. The hysteresis is used to prevent oscillation of the setting value of the hybrid system reference power. At the boundary of change in, the reference value will be changed continuously due to the oscillations in PV maximum power tracking. To avoid the Oscillations around the boundary, a hysteresis is included and its control scheme to control is depicted in Fig. 6. Overall Operating Strategy for the Grid- Connected Hybrid System
It is well known that in the micro grid, each DG as well as the hybrid source has two control modes: 1) the UPC mode and 2) the FFC mode. In the aforementioned subsection, a method to determine in the UPC mode is proposed. In this subsection, an operating strategy is presented to coordinate the two control modes. The purpose of the algorithm is to decide when each control mode is applied and to determine the reference value of the feeder flow when the FFC mode is used. This operating strategy must enable the PV to work at its maximum power point, FC output, and feeder flow to satisfy their constraints.

Fig 7 Overall operating strategy for the grid- connected hybrid system.
If the hybrid source works in the UPC mode, the hybrid output is regulated to a reference value and the variations in load are matched by feeder power. With the reference power pro-posed before, the constraints of FC and PV are always satisfied. Therefore, only the constraint of feeder flow is considered. On the other hand, when the hybrid system works in the FFC mode, the feeder flow is controlled to a reference value feeder and, thus, the hybrid source will compensate for the load variations. In this case, all constraints must be considered in the operating algorithm. Based on those analyses, the operating strategy of the system is proposed as demonstrated in Fig. 7. The operation algorithm in Fig. 7 involves two areas (Area I and Area II) and the control mode depends on the load power. If load is in Area I, the UPC mode is selected. Otherwise, the FFC mode is applied with respect to Area II.

RESULTS & DISCUSSIONS A. Simulation Results in the Case Without Hysteresis Controller
It can be seen from Fig. 9 that the system only works in FFC mode when the load is heavy. The UPC mode is the major operating mode of the system and, hence, the system works more stably. During FFC mode, the hybrid source output power changes with respect to the change of load demand, as in Fig. 9(b). On the contrary, in UPC mode, 푃푀푠changes following PMsref , as shown in Fig. 9(a). It can also be seen from Fig 9(a) that at 12 s and 17 s, changes continuously. This is caused by variations of PPv in the MPPT process. As a result, 푃푀푠 and 푃퐹퐶 oscillate and are unstable. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a hysteresis was used to control the change of PMsref , as shown in Fig. 6. The simulation results of the system, including the hysteresis, are depicted in Fig 10. B. Improving Operation Performance by Using Hysteresis Controller
Fig. 10 shows the simulation results when hysteresis was included with the control scheme shown in Fig. 6. From 12 s to13 s and from 17 s to 18 s, the variations of PMsref [Fig10(a)], FC output [Fig 10(a)], and feeder flow [Fig10(b)] are eliminated and, thus, the system works more stably compared to a case without hysteresis (Fig 10). Fig. 10(d) shows the frequency variations when load changes or when the hybrid source reference power changes (at 12 s and 18 s). The parameter C was chosen at 0.03 MW and, thus, the frequency variations did not reach over its limit (% 0.3 Hz). VI. CONCLUSION A hybrid system composed of a PV array and PEMFC, connected to grid is considered. The operating strategy of the system is based on the UPC mode and FFC mode. The purposes of the proposed operating strategy presented in this paper are to determine the control mode, to minimize the number of mode changes, to operate PV at the maximum power point, and to operate the FC output in its high efficiency performance band. The proposed system works flexibly, exploiting maximum solar energy; PEMFC works within a high- efficiency band and, hence, improves the performance of the system’s operation. The system can maximize the generated power when load is heavy and minimizes the load shedding area. When load is light, the UPC mode is selected and, thus, the hybrid source works more stably. In brief, the proposed operating algorithm is a simplified and flexible method to operate a hybrid source in a grid connected micro grid. It improves the performance of the system’s operation; the system works more stably while maximizing the PV output power.
For further research, the operating algorithm, taking the operation of the battery into account to enhance operation performance of the system, will be considered. Moreover, the application of the
