Management of a storage system for a grid-connected hybrid photovoltaic/wind system

Abstract

This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the development and optimization of battery management systems for hybrid/wind/photovoltaic systems. The primary objective of this research is to enhance the performance, efficiency, and reliability of energy storage in renewable energy systems. Two battery management strategies, Strategy 2 and Strategy 3, are explored and evaluated using extensive simulation and analysis. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of these strategies in optimizing battery discharge during peak consumption periods and reducing reliance on the grid. Additionally, the integration of wind turbines into the system is investigated to improve power generation and enhance load supply reliability. The proposed battery management strategies not only enable efficient utilization of renewable energy sources but also contribute to prolonged battery lifespan and environmental sustainability. The research findings provide valuable insights and practical guidelines for the design, implementation, and operation of battery systems in hybrid renewable energy systems. This work contributes to the advancement of sustainable energy technologies and serves as a foundation for future research in the field of battery management systems for renewable energy applications.
