Abstract This thesis introduces a complete study and investigation of Photovoltaic Power System, PVPS interconnected with Wind Turbine Generator, WTG. Firstly the optimum design of WTG/PV/BS Hybrid Electric Power System (HEPS) has been determined. Secondly, two interconnection strategies have been proposed. The first strategy is to interface PVPS with WTG through a DC Bus-Bar. The second strategy is to interface them through an AC Bus-Bar. The effect of each interconnected strategy on the reliability has been analyzed in detailed. On the other hand the influence of each strategy on the total harmonic distortion has been investigated. This study has been done by using a new proposed computerized methodology and simulation. A case study taken to apply these proposed methodology. This design including the optimum design and performance of WTG/PV/BS HEPS, which used to feed a load demand. The cost and reliability have been investigated under different conditions of Photovoltaic penetration level (PELV) and WTG penetration level (PELw), for WTG/PV/BS HEPS. Then the most economical WTG/PV/BS HEPS has been determined. Also the thesis presents the design of a Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) to interface the Photovoltaic Power System with a Wind Turbine Generator System as a Hybrid Electric power System. The proposed PCU based on 6-pulse three-phase inverter using Sinusoidal-Pulse-Width-Modulation (SPWM) and Space-Vector- Pulse-Width-Modulation (SVPWM). On the other hand this thesis introduces a proposed converter designed to be used as an interface between WTG and Photovoltaic system at DC Bus-Bar. |
