Simulation andmodeling of standalone DC linked hydro/PV/battery hybrid energy system (HES) and powermanagement strategy(PMS) for identifying the active power sharing have been done. The performance analysis of the proposed HES and its powermanagement strategy has been done using the simulink toolboxes of MATLAB software. The proposed system consists of 10 kWPV system, 7.5 kW hydro system, battery, and power condition unit. In some remote/rural areas, it is very difficult to satisfy thedemand of electrical power throughout the year with the power grid. In such areas, the power requirement can be fulfilled byrenewable energy system such as hydro or PV system. Either the hydro system or PV system is not capable of supplying powerrequirement throughout the year as both systems are intermittent. Hence, the judicious combination of hydro and PV system hasbeen modeled for electrification. The power management strategy is modeled to manage the power flow of the energy systems andbattery to fulfill the load demand.The presented results clearly show that the proposed HES and its control strategy are suitable forimplementation in remote/rural areas.

1. Introduction

Electrification of remote/isolated areas (where grid acces-sibility is not possible) may be possible by harnessing therenewable energy sources presented in the particular areas.Among these renewable energy sources, hydro and solarenergy sources are more promising for electricity generation.The hydro and PV system are gaining the momentum ofresearchers for electrification in remote/rural areas.

Either standalone hydro system or PV system is notsufficient to fulfill the power requirement throughout theyear. Therefore, for getting the optimal results by combiningthe advantages of hydro and solar energy sources, PV/hydrohybrid system has been analyzed and also installed [1โ€“3].

The geographical and climatic condition affects the per-formance of the hybrid system. Therefore, a backup is neces-sary in the casewhen one of the energy sources is not availableor the power generated by the hybrid system is not capableof fulfilling the power demand. To ensure the continuouspower supply and to take care of intermittent nature of energysystems, diesel generator can be integrated to overcome the

problem [4, 5]. Economic analysis and cost optimizationof such system have been done to ensure the existenceof the system [6, 7]. The additions of diesel generator areadvantageous over the pure renewable energy system butalso have some major problems such as diesel generatorneeds fossil fuel and surplus energy during the good seasoncannot be stored and provides short-term storage [8]. Toovercome these problems, recently, the hydrogen storagesystem is taking the place of diesel generator and such powergenerating systems have been designed and developed forrural and coastal residential applications. It can be concludedthat the hydrogen-based system can become a favorablesystem without aid from the grid system and bring advantagefrom technical and economic point of view and is also suitableto be applied in the rural and coastal residential application[9, 10].

The integration of the diesel generator or hydrogenstorage system adds the cost and complexity of the system.The combination of the hybrid system with battery andefficient power management system (PMS) makes the bestuse of the advantages of each power generating system [11, 12].

Figure 1: Schematic diagram of the hybrid energy system.

In this paper, a hydro/PV/battery-based hybrid energysystem (HES) is proposed for electrification of remote/ruralareas. The PV system is capable of generating 10 kW poweronly in sunny days. Therefore, a 7.5 kW hydro system is inte-grated with the PV system to supply the power throughoutthe year. But the PV power is variable and the PV/hydrosystem is also not able to feed the required load demand.Hence, a 200V, 13.5 Ah lead acid battery is also integratedto make the efficient HES system. The power managementsystem (PMS) is developed to control the flow of energy ofindividual power generating system and battery. The PMS isdesigned such that the use of battery is as low as possible.Thehydro/PVhybrid systemworks as a dominant system andbattery as a backup.

2. System Description

Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the standalonePV/hydro hybrid energy system. There are three main partsof the HES: hydro system, PV system, and battery. The hydrosystem is configured by hydro turbine driven self-excitedinduction generator (SEIG) with initial excitation require-ment fulfilled by the capacitor bank and anAC/DC converter.The PV system consists of PV array and DC/DC converter.the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller isemployed to enhance the system efficiency and to control theDC/DC converter.

In the HES, the renewable hydro and PV system areconsidered as a primary source for supplying load demandand battery is used as a backup and storage system. The HESis developed to be implemented in the remote/isolated areas;hence, if HES generated power is inefficient to sustain theload, then battery power will be delivered to balance thepower demand.

The control of all the renewable systems and battery isprovided through the independent controllers such as MPPTcontroller. To interface hydro/PV system and battery, thevoltage levels must be the same. Hence, DC/DC convertersare used in the HES system to link the common DC voltageof the renewable systems.

3. System Component Modeling

To investigate the performance of the HES system and itsPMS, mathematical models of its main components havebeen developed and simulated using the MATLAB simulinktoolbox. The mathematical models for hydro system, PVsystem, and battery have been developed in this section.

3.1. Hydro System. A 7.5 kW hydro system uses SEIG andcapacitor bank. The model equation of the SEIG can berepresented as

[V] = [๐‘…] [๐‘–] + [๐ฟ] ๐‘ [๐‘–] + ๐œ”๐‘” [๐บ] [๐‘–] . (1)

The current derivative (i.e.,๐‘[๐‘–] = ๐‘‘๐‘–/๐‘‘๐‘ก) can be expressedfrom (1) as

The electromechanical torque of the SEIG is modeled as

๐‘‡shaft = ๐‘‡๐‘’ + ๐ฝ (2

๐‘ƒ)๐‘‘๐œ”๐‘”

๐‘‘๐‘ก. (5)

The derivative of rotor speed (๐‘‘๐œ”๐‘”/๐‘‘๐‘ก) can be derivedfrom (5) as follows:

๐‘‘๐œ”๐‘”

๐‘‘๐‘ก=(๐‘ƒ/2) (๐‘‡shaft โˆ’ ๐‘‡๐‘’)

๐ฝ. (6)

The torque (๐‘‡shaft) is transmitted to shaft of SEIG to theprime mover.

The capacitor bank used for initial excitation of the SEIGcan be mathematically modeled as

where ๐ถ๐‘‘ and ๐ถ๐‘ž are the ๐‘‘ and ๐‘ž axis component of the 3-๐œ™capacitor bank connected at the stator terminal of the SEIG.

3.2. PV System Characteristics and Modeling. PV systemconsists of PV array and DC/DC converter.

The PV systemis modeled to integrate the hydro system and battery tofulfill the power requirement in the remote/isolated areas.The PV system with nonlinear VI characteristic can bemathematically modeled as

๐‘‰๐ต = ๐‘‰OCB โˆ’ ๐‘…๐ต๐ผ๐ต. (9)

The output of the PV array is very less,therefore it is required to boost their voltage. This feature isalso provided by the DC-DC boost converter. Equation (12)describes the output voltage as a function of PV voltage andduty cycle as follows:

The๐‘€ and ๐›ฟ control the inverter output voltage ๐‘‰inv andthe active power flow (๐‘ƒinv) from the HES system as per loaddemand.

4. Power Management System

The hybrid power generation system requires a power man-agement system (PMS), which controls the proper activepower flow from and to the battery storage system. The PMSis used for controlling the power distribution among thehydro system, PV system, and battery.

Figure 2 depicts the flow chart for the PMS for controllingthe power flow among the renewable systems.When the totalpower generation (๐‘ƒ๐ป) of the hybrid system (i.e., combinationof hydro and PV system) is higher than the load demand(๐‘ƒ๐ฟ), then the excess power is used to charge the battery andto feed the power to the load of selected area. As the hydroand PV systems are intermittent in nature, the variation inthe power generation will be according to seasonal variation.Hence, it is not necessary that theHESmay fulfill the requiredload demand. When ๐‘ƒ๐ป is not able to fulfill ๐‘ƒ๐ฟ, the batteryis allowed to share the required real power. The powermanagement of the HES depends on the SOC of the battery;correspondingly, the battery can be charged or discharged.

In order to obtain efficient power distribution among thehydro system, PV system, and battery, the battery shouldoperate in the high efficiency region and battery SOC shouldbe maintained at a reasonable level that is between 40% and80%.

5. Results and Discussion

The proposed hybrid energy system and its control strategyare developed and simulated in MATLAB software and thebehavior of the system is observed under different operatingconditions.The solar irradiance (Ir) and the load profile (PL)used for testing the proposed system are shown in Figures3(a) and 3(b), respectively. For hydro system, the stored waterdrives the prime mover of the SEIG with constant speed togenerate the 7.5 kW power.

The 10 kWPV panel is used for simulating the hybridsystem for remote areas. As per solar irradiance (Ir), thepower generated by the PV panel (๐‘ƒPV) varies from 5.78 kWto 10.68 kW. Figure 4(a) shows the power generation (๐‘ƒPV)by the PV panel. The generated voltage of the PV panel willalso vary in accordance with the solar irradiance as shownin Figure 4(b). The MPPT controller is employed to get themaximum efficiency of the PV system. Figure 4(c) shows thevariation in duty cycle (๐ท) of the DC-DC converter.

Figure 5 shows the combined power generation of thehydro and PV system (๐‘ƒ๐ป). The PMS controls the charg-ing/discharging of the battery bank. When the ๐‘ƒ๐ป is less thanthe๐‘ƒ๐ฟ, the parallel connected hydro and PV systemwill fulfillthe load demand, and when the ๐‘ƒ๐ป is greater than the ๐‘ƒ๐ฟ,battery will also share the power.

Before 0.5 sec, the ๐‘ƒ๐ป is capable of fulfilling the requiredload demand. Hence, the battery will charge only. Duringperiod 0.5โ€“0.75 seconds, the load demand is 20 kW and the๐‘ƒ๐ป is 16.54 kW. In that duration, the battery is sharing thepower to compensate the anticipated load and dischargesthe stored power. During 0.75โ€“0.1 seconds, again the loaddemand ๐‘ƒ๐ฟ is greater than the ๐‘ƒ๐ป, therefore, the battery is indischargemode. Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show the power sharedby the battery and current through the battery, respectively.Figure 6(c) shows the % SOC of the battery and shows thebattery charging and discharging.

Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show the waveform of load currentfor the resistive load of about 5 kW and RL load of about2.5 kW with 0.8 lagging power factor. For clear vision, onephase with the time range from 0.8 sec to 1.2 sec is shown.Figures 7(c) and 7(d) show the stator current and speed of3.7 kW, 415V, 1500 rpm, and 50Hz IM load, respectively.

6. Conclusion

In remote/isolated areas, where grid accessibility is notpossible, the electrical power requirement can be fulfilledby harnessing the renewable energy sources. For such areas,standalone hydro/PV/battery hybrid system has been mod-eled and simulated using the MATLAB simulink toolboxes.To improve the power quality of the hybrid system and to
