Monitoring and Coordinated Control of Hybrid Power System with Energy Storage Device Using Arduino

This research work introduces an integrated design of a solar and wind based hybrid system controlled and coordinated by Arduino. One of the primary needs for socio-economic development of any nation is the reliability of electrical supply systems. The proposed control coordination methodology governs the reliability of the hybrid electric supply system. The proposed controller compares the load power and integrated hybrid power at any instant and depending on it, Arduino controller generates the status and control signals. If the generated hybrid power is more than the required load power, then the integrated hybrid power system supplies the entire power to the load. If the generated hybrid power is less than the required load power, then the integrated hybrid power system along with the utility grid supplies the required power to the load. Depending on the Status of Charging, the battery charges and discharges. The boost converter boosts the voltage from Solar, wind and battery system to the required level. Then a single-phase inverter converts the boosted voltage and supplies to the load system. The hybrid system is then synchronized and coordinated to meet the load requirement. A hardware prototype is built to realize the experimental results of different control coordination strategies.
