Advanced power electronics for hybrid energy systems

Abstract Details

2006, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
This thesis discusses advanced power electronics used for designing hybrid energy systems. A hybrid energy system consisting of wind, photovoltaic cells and fuel cells designed to supply continuous power to the load is proposed. Due to the intermittent nature of both the wind and photovoltaic energy sources, a fuel cell is added to the system for the purpose of ensuring continuous power flow. This system allows maximum utilization of freely available renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic and demand-based utilization of hydrogen-based fuel cell. The proposed system is attractive owing to its simplicity, ease of control and low cost. Also it can be easily adjusted to accommodate different and any number of energy sources. The later part of the thesis focuses on the design of a novel Power Conversion System (PCS), which can be used to convert the energy from the hybrid system into useful electricity and provide requirements for power grid interconnections. The motivation behind developing such a PCS is to reduce the overall cost of hybrid systems thereby providing increased penetration into today’s energy scenario.
