Abstract


This paper presents and analyzes an optimal and an effective power management strategy for a hybrid power system intended for off-grid installations. The proposed strategy comprises an optimization algorithm that has been evaluated on a hybrid power system based on a PV/Wind system. In order to improve the power system efficiency, a stationary battery (SB) is used to store the extra energy from renewable energy source (RES). Furthermore, the photovoltaic system is connected to a DC bus through a dc/dc boost converter, while the wind turbine system is connected to the same DC bus via an ac/dc converter linked directly to a single-ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC). However, the proposed management strategy is used to extract as maximum as the power from RES and manage the energy flow via the SB in relation to its state of charge. In order to provide reliable results for this research, a simulation study of two operating modes i.e., RES to Battery (RES2B) and RES to load (RES2L), are realized on MATLAB/Simulink environment. The obtained results are confirmed and validated by experimental analyzes that are carried out on a laboratory prototype. This experimental test bench had tested the robustness and the efficiency of the proposed management strategy.
