Article Main Content

Increased usage of combined PV-Wind renewable energy sources is seen as a positive step toward reducing air pollution and carbon emissions. However, since non-linear loads have increased dramatically, voltage quality and harmonic distortion concerns have arisen, affecting the operation of combined PV-Wind RES and smart-grid electrical transmission structures. This study shows how a Shunt active power filter may improve energy quality in a microgrid structure at the distribution level. The major goal of this article is to find an appropriate controller approach for improving the shunt active power filter's compensating capacity. This paper simulates a PV-Wind hybrid renewable energy system that operates in the presence of unpredictably variable solar and wind energy resources. The objective is to allow the construction of an electrical control structure that produces the right duty cycle. It will aid in the regulation and stabilization of voltages at dc/dc energy conversion plant. Simulation is used to assess the proposed control system's ability to enhance power quality. The device's compensating capability is mostly determined by the DC link capacitor voltage control. The closed loop functioning of a proportional integral controller is used to attain this voltage regulation in the past. To increase the functioning of a shunt active power filter, the MOPSO procedure approach has been presented. The performance of suggested approaches and the comparison of different pulse generating strategies have been validated in the SIMULINK/MATLAB model environment. The suggested technology successfully improves power quality on the grid and maintains a steady voltage on the grid despite variations in RE output and load.
