Abstract

Renewable energy sources have been one of the best alternative to ensure reliable energy source as it omnipresent free of cost and causes minimum environmental concerns. Among available renewable sources, photovoltaic (PV) generation, integrated with power backup storage unit, has been optimal choice for loads. The project proposes a fuzzy based three-port converter for simultaneous power management of multiple energy sources. The proposed converter has the advantage of using the least number of switches. The converter is capable of interfacing sources of different voltage current characteristics with a load. The proposed converter is constructed for a photovoltaic panel, Wind generator, a rechargeable battery, and a load. The efficiency of the converter is verified through MATLAB simulation. The proposed converter has reliability operate simultaneous power generation from different renewable energy source. Fuzzy controller controls the direction of power flow and load voltage of the converter.
