Importance od PV system, Wind energy conversion system.Renewable energy is the energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat. These resources are renewable and can be naturally replenished. Therefore, for all practical purposes, these resources can be considered to be inexhaustible, unlike dwindling conventional fossil fuels [1]. The global energy crunch has provided a renewed impetus to the growth and development of Clean and Renewable Energy sources. Clean Development Mechanisms (CDMs) [2] are being adopted by organizations all across the globe. Apart from the rapidly decreasing reserves of fossil fuels in the world, another major factor working against fossil fuels is the pollution associated with their combustion. Contrastingly, renewable energy sources are known to be much cleaner and produce energy without the harmful effects of pollution unlike their conventional counterparts.

4. INTRODUCTION
 Uncontrolled Renewable energy sources essentially have random behaviors. eg: Solar, Wind, etc.
 Power production from Uncontrolled sources is independent of human intervention.
 Hybrid power systems may contain controlled and uncontrolled energy sources and energy storage
elements with appropriate control systems.
 Hybrid power systems take advantage of the complementary nature in profile of the renewable
energy sources.
 Hybrid power systems ensure continuous and reliable power production.
 PV modules still have relatively low conversion efficiency; therefore, controlling maximum power
point tracking (MPPT) for the solar array is essential in a PV system. The amount of power generated
by a PV depends on the operating voltage of the array. A PV’s maximum power point (MPP) varies
with solar insulation and temperature.

WIND ENERGY SYSTEM

6. WIND POWER - WHAT IS IT?
 The origin of wind energy is sun.
 When sun rays fall on the earth, its surface get heated up as a
consequence unevenly winds are formed.
 Wind energy is basically harnessing of wind power to produce
electricity.
 When solar radiation enters the earth’s atmp. Different regions of
the atmp. are heated to different degrees because of earth curvature.
 Since air tends to flow from warmer to cooler regions.

13. TEMPERATURE AND IRRADIANCE EFFECT
1. With Increase of Temperature Voc decreases & corresponding Pout decreases.
2. With Increase of Irradiance Voc increases hence increase in Pout is observed.

14. SOLAR PARAMETERS
• Short Circuit Current (Isc): Short circuit current is max current produced by a solar
cell when its terminals are short circuited.
• Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): Open circuit voltage is the max voltage that can be
obtained from a solar cell when its terminals are left open.
• Fill Factor (FF): Fill Factor is defined as ratio of maximum power to the product of Voc
and Isc. FF is 1 for ideal case. Practically its value ranges from 0.8 to 0.89.
• FF = Vm x Im
Voc x Isc
• Efficiency : Efficiency is defined as ratio of maximum power of module to power
delivered by solar irradiance or it can be defined as ratio of product of Voc ,Isc and FF to
solar irradiance .
• Efficiency = Voc x Isc x FF
solar irradiance

22.  The most obvious source of RE is the solar energy, therefore, a
huge number of projects and researches have been adopted worldwide
to utilize the indispensable sunlight as a sustainable source of energy.
 PV solar cells have relatively low efficiency ratings; thus
operating at the MPP is desired because it is at this point array will
operate at the highest efficiency.

Incrementing the voltage
increases
the power when operating on
the
left of the MPP and decreases
the
power when on the right of the
MPP.
 The P&O algorithm is used due to its simplicity and
easy implementation.
 The operation of P&O consists in periodically
perturbing the panel operating voltage incrementally, so
that the power output can be observed and compared at
consecutive perturbing cycles.
 If the power difference is positive, further perturbation
is added to the operating voltage with the same increment,
and again the output power is observed. This perturbing
process is continued until the power difference becomes
negative.
 Thus, the direction of perturbation in operating voltage
must be reversed.

26. DRAWBACKS OF P&O METHOD
• Hill climbing and P&O methods can fail under rapidly changing
atmospheric conditions.
• The process is repeated periodically until the MPP is reached.
• The system oscillates about the MPP.
• Smaller perturbation size slows down the MPPT
• If the irradiance fluctuates
and shifts the power curve
within one sampling period,
the operating point will
fluctuate

27. INCREMENTAL CONDUCTANCE METHOD

PV:
1. Zero at MPP
2. Negative at right of MPP
3. Positive on left of MPP
.
.
Uses two sensors:
VOLTAGE & CURRENT
SENSORS to sense the
output voltage and current
ALGORITHM works by
comparing the ratio of
derivative of conductance with
the instantaneous conductance
When this instantaneous
conductance equals the
conductance of the solar then
MPP is reached

Table shows the rule table of the fuzzy controller
where all the entries of the matrix are fuzzy sets of
change of power and change of current and duty
ratio D to the boost converter. The variable inputs
and outputs are divided into four fuzzy subsets:
PB(Positive Big), PS(Positive Small), NB(Negative
Big), NS(Negative Small). Therefore, the fuzzy
algorithm requires 16 fuzzy control rules.
Ex:-  If input 1 is NB and input 2 is NB then output is PB
 If input 1 is NB and input 2 is NS then output is PB
 If input 1 is NB and input 2 is PS then output is NB
