Abstract
In present days, most of the electrical loads like mobiles, laptops, televisions, computers, different types of LED-based bulbs and many more in the real world are inherently DC. On the other hand, the green energy systems or renewable energy sources (RES) like stand-alone PV (SPV) systems and BLDC-based wind energy conversion system (WECS) are generating the electrical power in DC. In the present structure of the electrical systems, it needs the conversion of generated DC power from RES to AC and then again from AC to DC for utilization of loads. This shows that the numbers of conversion stages are gradually increasing when the alternate power is utilized from RES leading to the increased loss of energy.
In this work, a smart low-voltage DC (LVDC) distribution system is designed in real time to utilize the power from hybrid DC microgrid made of SPV and WECS. In this work, a DC–DC converter plays a major role to achieve the proposed distribution system. The green energy systems in real life do not produce a constant power, since they depend on the natural resources like sunlight, wind, ocean, etc. Hence, it necessitates converting this varying power generated from RES to constant such that it is utilized for the loads. This major task is achieved with the help of a DC–DC converter.
