ANFIS-based Voltage Source Converter for Energy Management of Grid-Integrated Renewable Energy Sources

The combination of solar, wind, and battery energy sources is necessary to provide the load with more dependable, steady, and high-quality power. However, managing the energy between these several natural power sources is difficult. Developing this hybrid microgrid also requires many power converters. The effective regulation of these power converters has a significant impact on the hybrid energy system’s overall performance. In this article, the single-phase VSC converter is operated at the load side using an advanced ANFIS controller. Battery assistance is taken into consideration while generating electricity from solar and wind sources to meet load demand and improve power quality. Increase the amount of power extracted using the solar P&O algorithm. To provide more reliable power to the load even in the absence of renewable energy (RE) generation (due to abnormal environmental) conditions grid is integrated with these RE sources. The performance of the proposed ANFIS-based hybrid microgrid is investigated in two scenarios a steady load connected to the variable solar-wind power generation and the performance of the system when the dynamic load is connected at constant PV and wind power generations. From the obtained simulation results on both these cases; the proposed ANFIS control strategy better energy management between solar-wind and battery energy sources.
