Abstract
Control system and method for integration and transition between standalone and grid-connected operations of a hybrid renewable microgrid system include a multiple-input multiple-output controller that manages a rotor-side and a grid-side converter, structured in a back-to-back configuration, alongside a DC-DC buck-boost converter. The system harnesses energy from a solar generation unit of interconnected photovoltaic panels and a wind generation unit linked to a permanent magnet synchronous generator. Both energy sources are efficiently coordinated through maximum power point tracking control. The solar unit is directly connected to a DC bus, which also interfaces with the grid-side converter. An energy storage unit is seamlessly integrated, providing power management and voltage regulation capabilities to maintain consistent power delivery and quality, even during fluctuations in renewable energy production.
