A New Topology For Hybrid Wind-Solar Energy System

Shaik Jainulabdin, Firoz Ali. Mohammad

Abstract


Preventing Environmental pollution is becoming a tough task to the scientist. This paper  presents a new system configuration which allows the two sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously depending on the availability of the energy sources. The inherent nature of this Cuk fused converter, additional input filters are not necessary to filter out high frequency harmonics. Harmonic content is detrimental for the generator lifespan, heating issues, and efficiency.

The structure proposed is a fusion of the buck and buck-boost converter. The systems in literature require passive input filters to remove the high frequency current harmonics injected into wind turbine generators. The harmonic content in the generator current decreases its lifespan and increases the power loss due to heating .In this project, an alternative multi-input rectifier structure is proposed for hybrid wind/solar energy systems. The proposed design is a fusion of the Cuk converter.
