Design and Control of Micro Grid Fed by Renewable Energy Generating Sourcesijtsrd
This work presents a control of a micro grid at an isolated location fed from wind and solar based hybrid energy sources. The machine used for wind energy conversion is doubly fed induction generator DFIG and a battery bank is connected to a common DC bus of them. A solar photovoltaic PV array is used to convert solar power, which is evacuated at the common DC bus of DFIG using a DC DC boost converter in a cost effective way. The voltage and frequency are controlled through an indirect vector control of the line side converter, which is incorporated with drop characteristics. It alters the frequency set point based on the energy level of the battery, which slows down over charging or discharging of the battery. The system is also able to work when wind power source is unavailable. Both wind and solar energy blocks have maximum power point tracking MPPT in their control algorithm.

In this paper, a grid connected hybrid power system comprising wind and solar based renewable energy sources RERs is proposed. As these RERs are intermittent and random in nature, so a backup source is needed for smoothening the fluctuations in RERs output power. Battery energy storage BESS is proposed for this purpose. The electrical grid of the example represents a typical Utility distribution system. It consists of a 120-kV transmission system equivalent supplying a 25-kV distribution substation. Several feeders are connected to the 25-kV bus of the substation. One of them supplies the power to a community that owns the PV farm and an energy storage system. The grounding transformer connected at the 25-kV bus provides a neutral point and limits the overvoltage on the healthy phases during a single-phase fault. Its zero-sequence impedance is three times the value of the grid positive sequence impedance.

In the majority of the isolated areas, the diesel generator is the principal source of electric power. For these areas, the price of extension of the electrical supply network is prohibitory and the price of fuel increases radically with insulation. The continuous fall in the prices of the generators based on renewable energy and the increasing reliability of these systems led to a greater use of the sources of renewable energy for the generation of electric power in the isolated areas. The diesel generators can incorporate in a network with other sources in base of renewable energies in order to create a new network known as distributed network. More recently intermittent renewable resources such as the wind power were considered as a distributed generation which is seen as being deployed to reduce the total emissions. The distributed generation equipment sets causing electric disturbances result in destabilizing the global network as well as pollutant, for these reason, system D-FACTS comes to answer all the concern of the customers, manufacturers, suppliers and the managers of the distributed network.
The transient stability analysis of wind turbines interconected to grid under...IJECEIAES
Wind farm has been growing in recent years due to its very competitive electricity production cost. Wind generators have gone from a few kilowatts to megawatts. However, the participation of the wind turbine in the stability of the electricity grid is a critical point to check, knowing that the electricity grid is meshed, any change in active and reactive flux at the network level affects its stability. With a rate of 50% wind turbine penetration into the electricity grid, the stability of the rotor angle is a dynamic phenomenon which is only visible by the variation of the active energy. The purpose of this journal is to verify the impact of wind turbine integration on an electrical grid, by exploiting the relationship between the reactive energy produced by the Doubly Fed Induction Generator equipping most wind energy systems, and the stability of the rotor angle of the synchronous generators equipping the conventional power plants in the electrical system.

Modeling, Control and Power Management Strategy of a Grid connected Hybrid En...IJECEIAES
This paper presents the detailed modeling of various components of a grid connected hybrid energy system (HES) consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) system, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), an electrolyzer and a hydrogen storage tank with a power flow controller. Also, a valve controlled by the proposed controller decides how much amount of fuel is consumed by fuel cell according to the load demand. In this paper fuel cell is used instead of battery bank because fuel cell is free from pollution. The control and power management strategies are also developed. When the PV power is sufficient then it can fulfill the load demand as well as feeds the extra power to the electrolyzer. By using the electrolyzer, the hydrogen is generated from the water and stored in storage tank and this hydrogen act as a fuel to SOFC. If the availability of the power from the PV system cannot fulfill the load demand, then the fuel cell fulfills the required load demand. The SOFC takes required amount of hydrogen as fuel, which is controlled by the PID controller through a valve. Effectiveness of this technology is verified by the help of computer simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment under various loading conditions and promising results are obtained.

Electric Vehicle as an Energy Storage for Grid Connected Solar Power SystemIAES-IJPEDS
In the past few years the growing demand for electricity and serious concern
for the environment have given rise to the growth of sustainable sources like
wind, solar, tidal, biomass etc. The technological advancement in power
electronics has led to the extensive usage of solar power. Solar power output
varies with the weather conditions and under shading conditions. With the
increasing concerns of the impacts of the high penetration of Photovoltaic
(PV) systems, a technical study about their effects on the power quality of
the utility grid is required. This paper investigates the functioning of a gridtied
PV system along with maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
algorithm. The effects of varying atmospheric conditions like solar irradiance
and temperature are also taken into account. It is proposed in this work that
an Electric Vehicle (EV) can be used as an energy storage to stabilize the
power supplied to the grid from the photovoltaic resources. A coordinated
control is necessary for the EV to obtain desired outcome. The modeling of
the PV and EV system is carried out in PSCAD and the proposed idea is
verified through simulation results utilizing real field data for solar irradiance
and temperature.
Dynamic Modeling of Autonomous Wind–diesel system with Fixed-speed Wind TurbineIJAPEJOURNAL
Wind turbines have often connected to small power systems, operating in parallel to diesel generators, as is typically the case in autonomous wind–diesel installations or small island systems with high wind potential. Hence, the modeling and analysis of the dynamic behavior of wind–diesel power systems in presence of wind power will be important. In this paper, the system under study is modeled by a set of dynamic and algebraic equations (DAE). Dynamic behavior of a wind-diesel system is investigated by the proposed dynamic model. Wind-diesel system consists of wind turbines that are connected to synchronous diesel generator via short transmission line with local load. Dynamic stability of autonomous wind–diesel systems are discussed with emphasis on the eigenvalue analysis and the effective parameters on system stability. In this regards, saddle node bifurcation and hopf bifurcation are also investigated.

Fuzzy logic control of hybrid systems including renewable energy in microgrids IJECEIAES
With a growing demand for more energy from subscribers, a traditional electric grid is unable to meet new challenges, in the remote areas remains the extension of the conventional electric network very hard to do make prohibitively expensive. Therefore, a new advanced generation of traditional electrical is inevitable and indispensable to move toward an effective, economical, green, clean and self-correcting power system. The most well-known term used to define this next generation power system is micro grid (MG) based on renewable energy sources (RES). Since, the energy produced by RES are not constant at all times, a wide range of energy control techniques must be involved to provide a reliable power to consumers. To solve this problem in this paper we present a fuzzy logic control of isolated hybrid systems (HRES) including renewable energy in micro-grids to maintain a stability in voltage and frequency output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES combine a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as primary energy sources and an energy storage system (ESS) based on battery as a backup solution. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in decreasing the electricity bill of customer.

Constant Control of the Power of DFIG Wind Turbinesijtsrd
With the increasing penetration of wind energy into electricity grids, energy storage will be required to dynamically adapt to the intermittency of wind energy. This article proposes a new two stage constant power control system for a wind farm equipped with Dual Induction Generator DFIG wind turbines. Each DFIG wind turbine is equipped with a super capacitor energy storage ESS system and is controlled by low level wind turbines WTG and coordinated by a higher level wind farm monitoring control system WFSC . . The WFSC generates the actual power references for the lower layer WTG commands based on the actual power demand of the network operator or the corresponding production commitment. The WKA lower layer regulators then control each DFIG wind turbine to produce the desired amount of active power, balancing the gaps between available wind energy and the desired active power through the SSE. In PSCAD EMTDC, simulation studies will be carried out in a wind farm with 15 DFIG wind turbines to verify the effectiveness of the proposed regulatory system.

With a rate of 50% wind turbine penetration into the electricity grid, the stability of the rotor angle is a dynamic phenomenon which is only visible by the variation of the active energy. The purpose of this journal is to verify the impact of wind turbine integration on an electrical grid, by exploiting the relationship between the reactive energy produced by the Doubly Fed Induction Generator equipping most wind energy systems, and the stability of the rotor angle of the synchronous generators equipping the conventional power plants in the electrical system.

Modeling, Control and Power Management Strategy of a Grid connected Hybrid En...IJECEIAES
This paper presents the detailed modeling of various components of a grid connected hybrid energy system (HES) consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) system, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), an electrolyzer and a hydrogen storage tank with a power flow controller. Also, a valve controlled by the proposed controller decides how much amount of fuel is consumed by fuel cell according to the load demand. In this paper fuel cell is used instead of battery bank because fuel cell is free from pollution. The control and power management strategies are also developed. When the PV power is sufficient then it can fulfill the load demand as well as feeds the extra power to the electrolyzer. By using the electrolyzer, the hydrogen is generated from the water and stored in storage tank and this hydrogen act as a fuel to SOFC. If the availability of the power from the PV system cannot fulfill the load demand, then the fuel cell fulfills the required load demand. The SOFC takes required amount of hydrogen as fuel, which is controlled by the PID controller through a valve. Effectiveness of this technology is verified by the help of computer simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment under various loading conditions and promising results are obtained.

Electric Vehicle as an Energy Storage for Grid Connected Solar Power SystemIAES-IJPEDS
In the past few years the growing demand for electricity and serious concern
for the environment have given rise to the growth of sustainable sources like
wind, solar, tidal, biomass etc. The technological advancement in power
electronics has led to the extensive usage of solar power. Solar power output
varies with the weather conditions and under shading conditions. With the
increasing concerns of the impacts of the high penetration of Photovoltaic
(PV) systems, a technical study about their effects on the power quality of
the utility grid is required. This paper investigates the functioning of a gridtied
PV system along with maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
algorithm. The effects of varying atmospheric conditions like solar irradiance
and temperature are also taken into account. It is proposed in this work that
an Electric Vehicle (EV) can be used as an energy storage to stabilize the
power supplied to the grid from the photovoltaic resources. A coordinated
control is necessary for the EV to obtain desired outcome. The modeling of
the PV and EV system is carried out in PSCAD and the proposed idea is
verified through simulation results utilizing real field data for solar irradiance
and temperature.
Dynamic Modeling of Autonomous Wind–diesel system with Fixed-speed Wind TurbineIJAPEJOURNAL
Wind turbines have often connected to small power systems, operating in parallel to diesel generators, as is typically the case in autonomous wind–diesel installations or small island systems with high wind potential. Hence, the modeling and analysis of the dynamic behavior of wind–diesel power systems in presence of wind power will be important. In this paper, the system under study is modeled by a set of dynamic and algebraic equations (DAE). Dynamic behavior of a wind-diesel system is investigated by the proposed dynamic model. Wind-diesel system consists of wind turbines that are connected to synchronous diesel generator via short transmission line with local load. Dynamic stability of autonomous wind–diesel systems are discussed with emphasis on the eigenvalue analysis and the effective parameters on system stability. In this regards, saddle node bifurcation and hopf bifurcation are also investigated.

Fuzzy logic control of hybrid systems including renewable energy in microgrids IJECEIAES
With a growing demand for more energy from subscribers, a traditional electric grid is unable to meet new challenges, in the remote areas remains the extension of the conventional electric network very hard to do make prohibitively expensive. Therefore, a new advanced generation of traditional electrical is inevitable and indispensable to move toward an effective, economical, green, clean and self-correcting power system. The most well-known term used to define this next generation power system is micro grid (MG) based on renewable energy sources (RES). Since, the energy produced by RES are not constant at all times, a wide range of energy control techniques must be involved to provide a reliable power to consumers. To solve this problem in this paper we present a fuzzy logic control of isolated hybrid systems (HRES) including renewable energy in micro-grids to maintain a stability in voltage and frequency output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES combine a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as primary energy sources and an energy storage system (ESS) based on battery as a backup solution. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in decreasing the electricity bill of customer.

Constant Control of the Power of DFIG Wind Turbinesijtsrd
With the increasing penetration of wind energy into electricity grids, energy storage will be required to dynamically adapt to the intermittency of wind energy. This article proposes a new two stage constant power control system for a wind farm equipped with Dual Induction Generator DFIG wind turbines. Each DFIG wind turbine is equipped with a super capacitor energy storage ESS system and is controlled by low level wind turbines WTG and coordinated by a higher level wind farm monitoring control system WFSC . . The WFSC generates the actual power references for the lower layer WTG commands based on the actual power demand of the network operator or the corresponding production commitment. The WKA lower layer regulators then control each DFIG wind turbine to produce the desired amount of active power, balancing the gaps between available wind energy and the desired active power through the SSE. In PSCAD EMTDC, simulation studies will be carried out in a wind farm with 15 DFIG wind turbines to verify the effectiveness of the proposed regulatory system.

Enhancement of reactive power capability of doubly fed induction generator 2-3IAEME Publication
With the growing integration into power grids, wind power plants are very important for
power system. According to the grid codes wind power plants should have the ability to perform
voltage control and reactive power compensation at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). In
general, the entire wind farm operates within a power factor range of 0.95 leading and lagging. This
operation drastically under utilizes the reactive output of the machine. The results offered in this
paper demonstrates enhancement of reactive power capability of Doubly Fed Induction Generator
(DFIG). This additional reactive power supports to improve the post fault voltage and reduces the
overall system losses and also reduces the cost of the generation. The utilization of extended reactive
limits in voltage control may prevent system collapse.
Optimized servo-speed control of wind turbine coupled to doubly fed inductio...IJECEIAES
Optimal control of any variable speed wind turbine needs maximum power point tracking (MPPT) coupled to doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) for better power generation. This paper offers a novel direct power servo-speed control of wind turbine. This latter is based on DFIG optimal hysteresis MPPT inverter current control combined with space voltage modulation (SVM) inverter voltage technique, thus providing a stable and continuous energy flow to power grid. In this design, the asynchronous machine stator is directly connected to the grid. Bidirectional power converter, acting as frequency converter, is rotor circuit located. Rectifier supplies rotor windings with voltages and reference frequency resulting from control procedure of the power exchange between the stator and grid. Inverter is directly controlled by means of SVM technique to maintain direct current (DC) bus voltage constant. Simulation results show that the proposed configuration improves power converters efficiency due that rotor circuit needs less power than stator circuit which is injected into the grid.
In recent years, wind energy has become one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Various wind turbine concepts with different generator topologies have been developed to convert this abundant energy into electric power. The doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is currently the most common type of generator used in wind farms. Usually the DFIG generator is a wound rotor induction machine, where the stator circuit is directly connected to grid while the rotor’s winding is connected to the grid via a three-phase converter. This paper describes an approach for the independent control of the active and reactive powers of the variable-speed DFIG. The simulation model including a 1.5 MW-DFIG driven by a wind turbine, a PWM back-to-back inverter and the proposed control strategy are developed and implemented using MATLAB/Simulink/SimPowerSystems environment.

Super-Capacitor Energy Storage of DFIG Wind Turbines with Fuzzy ControllerIJERD Editor
With the advance in wind turbine technologies, the cost of wind energy becomes competitive with
other fuel-based generation resources. Due to the price hike of the fossil fuels and the concern of the global
warming, the development of wind power has rapidly progressed over the last decade. Many countries have set
goal for high penetration levels of wind generations. Recently, several large-scale wind generation projects have
been implemented all over the world. It is economically beneficial to integrate very large amounts of wind
capacity in power systems. Unlike other traditional generation facilities, using wind turbines present technical
challenges in producing continuous and controllable electric power. With increase in contribution of wind power
into electric power grid, energy storage devices will be required to dynamically match the intermitting of wind
energy.

The Internet has become one of the greatest inventions of mankind for learning and sharing of useful information through electronic means. For some years now, the developed nations have adopted the use of the e-learning system. Presently, the COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to the adoption of the e-learning system by many countries of the world being the most viable alternative for teaching and learning. This paper uses a pragmatic approach to evaluates the benefits and challenges associated with the e-learning system. A survey was conducted among students in a higher institution and a total of one hundred and twenty-five responses was gathered from the online questionnaire to know the likely challenges faced by students with the e-learning system and also at an online researchers’ forum. The result shows that 30.40% of students complained about weak internet connectivity from the questionnaire administered which is also the major problem in most developing nations, and for optimal performance of the e-learning system, there should be adequate provision for strong internet connectivity, standard IT infrastructure, and user-friendly e-learning platform.
Analysis of grid connected independent power plant capabilities on electricit...Najeem Olawale Adelakun
At the core of any meaningful economic activity is electric power. Absence or inadequacy of it in a nation
stalls development in that nation. In Nigeria, there is a wide gap between forecast power and actual
power generation needed for productive endeavours. For instance in July 2017, the generation peak load
forecast was 14190MW while the actual generation peak load was 4567MW. In July 2018 it was again
14190MW (forecast) but 5110MW (actual). This paper uses descriptive statistics to analyse Independent
Power Plant (IPP) capabilities spread across ten years (2009-2018). The results show that there is need
to encourage more private investors to build additional IPPs in order to increase adequate power
generation in Nigeria – especially in post-COVID-19 socio-economic crisis. Consequently, it is expected
that the wide gap between generation peak load peak load forecast and actual peak load would be
narrowed.
Wastage of water has been a
common phenomenon in several public locations
such as event centre, restaurants, malls, mosque,
churches, and also at home due to negligence of tap
user or due to sophisticated tap used that visitors
may not know how to operate, to curb wastage and
prevention of damage to the wash hand basin. A
solar-powered automatic wash hand basin system
was developed to cater for any challenges that may
arise. The solar-powered automatic wash hand
basin systemis a sensor-based system with constant
a supply of electricity that starts automatically
whenever anyone put his/her hand just below the
water tap outlet, which significantly reduces water
consumption to some extent and can as well
eliminate cross-contamination by keeping hands
and germs away from commonly-used surfaces
especially during this COVID-19 pandemic.This
system can help in automating the work of human
beings with great ease and without any difficulty
which will make the tap to last longer, reduce water
usage, and also guide against any form of germs or
diseases from cross-contamination.
The energy efficient load is considered as an important tool for efficient management of available
electrical energy in Nigeria because it allows electricity utility to meet the power demand of many consumers
with little or no increase in power supply generation. This paper discusses the technical and economic benefit of
using energy efficient load for electrical services design considering a four-bedroom apartment in Nigeria as a
case study. Load analysis and evaluation were carried out using both conventional load and energy efficient load
for electrical services. The technical benefits were determined by calculating the total energy demand, apparent
power and current drawn by the four-bedroom apartment. Apparent power and current are important tools to
determine Transformer capacity, Cable capacity and Generator capacity for the apartment. The economic
benefits were determined by calculating the daily energy consumption by the four-bedroom apartment and this
is a great tool in computing the daily cost of electricity by the apartment. The result shows that 41.26% of total
energy demand is saved and 32.96% of daily energy consumption is saved if the energy efficient loads were
used as an alternative to conventional load for that four-bedroom apartment.

The Persistent power outage in the country due to
faults has become alarming to the government and the body
responsible for electricity generation in the country. It also
creates a major problem for electricity consumers in Nigeria,
there must be an improvement in the reliability of the
transmission system in Nigeria. This research work is
predominantly concerned with the analysis of outages on
330kV and 132kV transmission system, and system
disturbances on generation and transmission system for five (5)
years. The result shows that the forced outages are the most
occurred outages on the 330 kV line, while on 132 kV line,
emergency outages have the highest number of outages in 2014
but decreases rapidly over the years, similarly, twenty-seven
(27) major system disturbances occurred in 2016 with 31%
against ten (10) with 11% disturbances in 2015, while 2014 and
2018 with the same number of system disturbances of thirteen
(13) with 15%, it is apparent that more disturbances occur on
the transmission system, and there should be a proper
protection scheme to maintain stable grid network.
Consequently, Mini-grid and off-grid solutions will
prominently address the issue of power supply shortage and
instability in Nigeria.
Presently, there is rapid growth in Technology advancement. Developed countries are searching for new alternative energy sources to minimize the pressure on natural sources like gas, uranium, oil, coal, etc. However, natural sources of energy are inadequate and expensive, which also contributed heavily to greenhouse gas emissions. Developing countries like Nigeria are also trying to exploit different renewable energy sources like solar energy, hydropower, wind energy, bioenergy, etc. to accomplish their increasing demand and also to eradicate the energy crisis Nigeria has been experiencing due to insufficient electricity generation. This paper analyses the importance of renewable sources, the challenges and the benefits. This paper also analyses how renewable energy can be accepted as a perfect solution for economic development.

Electricity exists in a form that is useful to exploit, however, it will also be important to install electricity as
efficiently as possible, and design of the power distribution system should be convenient so as to minimize
power losses. This paper analyses the electrical service design of a Storey building using the lumen method for
the lighting calculations. The purpose of this work is to present a suitable approach to electrical services design
based on the provision of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (lEE) Regulations, which includes lighting,
power, distribution boards schematics. The results of the whole analysis and design was illustrated with
AutoCAD application. This work gives a direct approach from design of the electrical services to the installation
stage. The results of the calculations in the design helps the designer to make vital decisions such as types of
luminaries, sizes of cables and nominal ratings of protective devices required by each circuit and by the entire
installation in line with appropriate standards and regulations.
A STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF ENERGY GENERATION AND CONSUMPTION IN DANGOTE CEMENT ...Najeem Olawale Adelakun
ABSTRACT
Energy supply for economic activities has been a major problem in Nigeria such that it does appear that solution
to stable, reliable power supply is not yet in sight. Consequently, consumers (industrial, residential and
commercial) have all resorted to self-generation to complement whatever supply (if any) that comes from the very
unreliable national grid. For instance, the available power supply to the entire nation fluctuates between 3000MW
and 3500MW. A study of monthly energy generation in Dangote Cement Plant for a typical year was carried out.
This was compared with the equivalent monthly generation from the entire Nigeria’s grid system. The results
show that in 2013, at the early stage of commencement of production of operation in the plant), the total energy
generated by the Dangote Power Plant was 406762.33 MWH while the total energy consumed by the company
was 401903.72 MWh. Dangote’s total energy generation in 2013 represents 1.4% of Nigeria’s total generation
from grid in the same year. The total distribution loss was 4858.61 MWH (which is 1.2% of the total energy
generated by the company).Comparatively, the total generation from national grid in 2013 was 29628699. This
study further shows that Dangote Cement, Ibese produces enough energy for its use and could even sell any excess
if encouraged.
RETOOLING NIGERIAS ELECTRICITY GENERATION SUB – SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE GRID O...Najeem Olawale Adelakun
ABSTRACT
Experts are varied in estimating the amount of power needed for national development. One expert
estimated 297,900 MW by the year 2030 using a 13 percent Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Power
Sector Road Map’s aspiration is 40,000 MW by the year 2020 while the preferred Vision 20:2020 target is
40GW (40,000 MW) available capacity. Vision 20:2020 further proposed that hydro sources contribute 10%
of this value; thermal, 80%; coal, 6% and renewables, 4%. However, as at December 2017, Nigeria’s total
installed generating capacity was 12,324.40 MW. In order to assess the fundamentals and proffer solutions
for the improvement of power generation to meet popular expectations, this work analyses the installed
capacities of the nation from 1986 – 1995, on the one hand and from 2007 – 2016, on the other hand using
graphical illustrations and tables. The gap between the two time phases was deliberate to create some effect.
The results show that over the years, there has been an apparent, non – challance towards systematic
development of Nigeria’s power sector. To put a check to this deteriorating condition / trend, useful
suggestions have been made
Design and Evaluation of Electrical Services for an Energy Efficient HomeNajeem Olawale Adelakun
Abstract- Nigeria is facing an acute shortage of
electric power that drives economic activities.
Consequently, all sectors of the economy are facing
a retrogression in productivity. Besides, even much
of the power made available either from the grid or
self-generation is wasted due to poor installation
design and use of inefficient devices and equipment
such as filament bulbs, and fluorescent lamps
(among others). This work examines the present
common practice of electrical services that wastes
energy with the viewing to advancing the best
practice that minimises overall energy / power loss. A
three-bedroom flat and an eatery in Nigeria were
used as a case study. Load audit, analysis and
calculations were made to assist in making vital
decisions as to the types and sizes of luminaires,
cables and protective devices (among others) to be
used in accordance with known standards and
regulations. The results show that 71.8% and 69.1%
respectively of energy is saved for lighting in three-
bedroom flat and eatery; 37.4% and 30.8% in other
loads used in three bedroom and eatery respectively.
All this is as a result of use of frugal design and
energy saving – saving devices. This further implies
a saving in absolute cost of energy consumed in a
particular situation.
Abstract— Solar Energy is the prime important
source of energy, and it has continued to gain
popularity globally. As of 2018, about 486 GW of solar
PV was installed worldwide. One of the key
requirements for socio-economic improvement in any
nation of the world is the provision of dependable
electricity supply systems. Recently, there is a massive
growth in access to solar electricity in several Africa
countries, notably South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, and
Algeria. As a result, it decreases the global population

This paper review the present state of solar energy
capacity in the world also identifies vital approaches of
improving their functionality, reliability, and
affordability as well as the essential method that
policymakers may implement in the future. The result
shows that there is a recurrent growth in solar energy
annually and as at the end of 2018 Asia with the largest
capacity of 56.58%, while Central America and the
Caribbean have the lowest installed capacity of 0.36%.
As the request for an uninterrupted supply increases in
different regions, progressive builders are embracing
solar photovoltaics (PV) renewable energy as an option
for their customers.

I. INTRODUCTION
The concerns about the greenhouse effect and intermittent
conventional energy source have made renewable energy
sources an alternative energy source to be implemented [2].
Wind energy is one of the leading renewable energy
sources, it uses large blades to spin a dynamo inside the
turbine which converts mechanical energy into electrical
energy [9]. A Wind Farm is a set of Wind Turbines situated
in the same location to generate electric power. Wind
Turbines are designed such that they are operating with
either constant or variable speed depending on the type of
generators that are installed either singly-
generator (SFIG) or doubly-fed induction generator
(DFIG). Basically, there are three classes of generators that
are used in modern wind turbine generating system
(WTGS). These are Permanent Magnet Synchronous
Generator (PMSG), Squirrel Cage Induction Generator
(SCIG) and Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). Both
PMSG and SCIG are singly-fed induction generators
(SFIG) and are similar in operation [10]. Doubly

systems because of DFIG improved efficiency, its ability to

DFIG due to its flexibility and numerous advantages over

DFIG is a wound rotor induction machine in which its
stator windings are connected to the grid and its frequency
is locked with the frequency of the grid while its rotor
windings are connected to the grid via a three
AC/DC/AC converter through slip ring
side converter controls the torque and the speed of the
DFIG while the DC Link voltage is controlled by the grid
side converter. When the wind speed is higher than the
rated wind speed of the conversion system, both the stator
and rotor of the DFIG supply active power to the grid,
while when the wind speed is less than the rated wind
speed, only stator winding supply power to the grid [12].

[8] compared the losses in different turbine systems such as
the Direct-in-Line wind turbine system which is a singly
fed induction generator (SFIG) and Doubly
generator (DFIG) based wind turbine system. From the
comparison of the losses, the authors showed that the losses
in the generator for both Direct Line and DFIG are the
same, 3.5% each but the inverter loss for Direct Line is 3%
while the inverter loss for DFIG is 0.75%.
According to [4] the simulation result revealed that DFIG

system oscillation better than synchronous gener

also stated that poor damping of power oscillation and
inadequate reactive power support can adversely affect the

supplied to the grid. Therefore, the authors argued that
DFIG based wind turbine equipped with PSS can damp
