Integration of Hybrid Biomass-Solar Photovoltaic-Wind turbine in Microgrid Application

Renewable energy has found attention in electricity generation due to environmental issues, electricity demand and depletion of fossil fuels. Solar, wind and biomass have become sustainable options to supply electricity in grid or off-grid locations. The integration of these sources has evolved into microgrid technology. Previously, limited study has been done on the hybrid biomass-solar Photovoltaic (PV)-wind turbine microgrid. As in the future, a comprehensive study of biomass-solar PV-wind turbine microgrid is needed especially in a remote area. Moreover, integration of these renewable energies needs a suitable power electronic device in the microgrid to ensure the stability and reliability of the system. So in order to study the stability and reliability of the integration of hybrid biomass-solar PV -wind turbine microgrid, a suitable architecture is proposed and simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink to ensure its functionality. The main purpose of this paper is to integrate the hybrid biomass-solar PV-wind turbine in microgrid application with battery storage system, power converters, Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) to ensure the system can supply load demand either in grid-connected or off grid-connected.
