Design of Hybrid Energy Averaging Boost Controller (HEAB) For Renewable Applications

This study proposes an innovative hybrid renewable power generation operation and control
strategy for Real-time applications. The proposed hybrid renewable power generation system consists of a wind
turbine, a battery storage unit, a fuel cell, an electrolyzer and loads. The proposed control strategy is based on
averaging the energy and power regulation system. Depending on wind and load conditions, this system
generates reference dynamic operating points to low-level individual subsystems. The energy management and
electricity regulation system also controls the charging scheduling operation during unfavorable wind
conditions under inadequate energy storage to avoid a system blackout. Based on the reference dynamic
operating points of the individual subsystems, the local controllers control the wind turbine, fuel cell,
electrolyzer and storage battery units. The proposed control system is implemented in MATLAB software and
tested for various wind and load conditions. Results are presented and discussed.
