THEORY:

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is a reliable and economical source of

electricity in rural areas. It is important to operate the PV energy conversion systems
near the maximum power point (MPP) to increase the efficiency of the PV system.
But the solar energy always varies instantaneously and the current and power of PV
array varies non- linearly with the terminal voltage, solar radiation, and temperature.
So, the maximum power output cannot be easily obtained. As solar photovoltaic cells
have significant nonlinear output characteristic, the photoelectric conversion
efficiency is still very low.

THEORY:

A fuel cell is an electrochemical system that uses reactants to produce

electricity. A polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell is a popular technology that
uses a chemical reaction involving hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water
as byproducts. PEM fuel cells incorporate a semi permeable membrane that allows proton
transport and blocks the electron flow. Because of this characteristic, this kind of fuel cell
is also known as a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell. As shown below, hydrogen enters
the fuel cell at the anode and splits into protons and electrons. The protons pass through the
membrane while the electrons flow through an external circuit, producing an electric
current. Oxygen entering the fuel cell at the cathode end combines with the protons and
electrons to produce water and heat.

SIMULATION OF SELF- EXCITED INDUCTION GENERATOR

AIM:

To simulate self excited Induction Generator

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

A PC with MATLAB software

PROCEDURE:

1. Open the MATLAB software and create a model file

2. Draw the circuit using library browser.
3. Simulate the model of self excited induction generator

THEORY:

The wind turbine and the induction generator (WTIG) are shown below.
The stator winding is connected directly to the grid and the rotor is driven by the wind
turbine. The power captured by the wind turbine is converted into electrical power by the
induction generator and is transmitted to the grid by the stator winding. The pitch angle is
controlled in order to limit the generator output power to its nominal value for high wind
speeds. In order to generate power the induction generator speed must be slightly above the
synchronous speed. But the speed variation is typically so small that the WTIG is considered
to be a fixed- speed wind generator. The reactive power absorbed by the induction generator
is provided by the grid or by some devices like capacitor banks, SVC, STATCOM, or
synchronous condenser.

SIMULATION OF DFIG/ PMSG BASED WIND TURBINE.

AIM:
To simulate of the Simulation of DFIG/ PMSG Based Wind Turbine.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
A PC with MATLAB software

PROCEDURE:

1. Open the MATLAB software and create a model file

2. Draw the circuit using library browser.
3. Simulate the model of DFIG/ PMSG Based Wind Turbine.

THEORY
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make
wind—like a fan wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-
like blades of a turbine around a rotor,which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
Wind is a form of solar energy caused by a combination of three concurrent
events: The sun unevenly heating the atmosphere, Irregularities of the earth's surface
and the rotation of the earthThe terms "wind energy" and "wind power" both
describe the process by which the wind is used to generatemechanical power or
electricity. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding
grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into
electricity. A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic
force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor
blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade
decreases. The difference in air pressure across the two sides of the blade creates both
lift and drag. The force of the lift is stronger than the drag and this causes the rotor to
spin. The rotor connects to the generator, either directly (if it’s a direct drive turbine)
or through a shaft and a series of gears (a gearbox) that speed up the rotation and allow
for a physically smaller generator.
This translation of aerodynamic force to rotation of a generator creates electricity.

SIMULATION
In this example you will observe the steady-state operation of the DFIG and its
dynamic responseto voltage sag resulting from a remote fault on the 120-kV system.
Open the "120 kV" block modeling the voltage source and see how a six-cycle 0.5 pu

12
voltage drop is programmed at t=0.03 s
Start simulation. Observe voltage and current waveforms on the Scope block.
At simulation start the "xInitial" variable containing the initial state variables is
automatically loaded (from the "power_wind_dfig_det.mat" file specified in the
Model Properties) so that the simulation starts in steady state.
Initially the DFIG wind farm produces 9 MW. The corresponding turbine
speed is 1.2 pu of generator synchronous speed. The DC voltage is regulated at 1150
V and reactive power is kept at 0 Mvar. At t=0.03 s the positive-sequence voltage
suddenly drops to 0.5 p.u. causing an oscillation on the DC bus voltage and on the
DFIG output power. During the voltage sag the control system tries to regulate DC
voltage and reactive power at their set points (1150 V, 0 Mvar). The system recovers
in approximately 4 cycles.

REGENERATE INITIAL CONDITIONS

This example is set-up with all states initialized so that the simulation starts in
steady-state. Otherwise, due to the long time constants of the electromechanical part
of the wind turbine model and to its relatively slow regulators you would have to wait
for tens of seconds before reaching steady-state. The initial conditions have been
saved in the "power_wind_dfig_det.mat" file. When you start simulation, the InitFcn
callback (in the Model Properties/Callbacks) automatically loads into your workspace
the contents of this .mat file ("xInitial" variable specified in the "Initial state"
parameter in theSimulation/Configuration Parameters menu).
If you modify this model, or change parameter values of power components, the
initial conditions stored in the "xInitial" variable will no longer be valid and
Simulink® will issue an error message. To regenerate the initial conditions for your
modified model, follow the steps listed below:

1. In the Simulation/Configuration Parameters menu, uncheck the "Initial

state" parameter.

EXPERIMENT ON VI-CHARACTERISTICS

characteristics and efficiency.

2. Voltmeter (0-300)V 1
3. Ammeter (0-10)A 1
4. 1KW Variable Resistor 1
5. Connecting wires As required

THEORY:

A material or device that is capable of converting the energy contained in photons of

light into an electrical voltage and current is said to be photo voltaic(PV). A simple
equivalent circuit model for a PV cell consists of a real diode in parallel with an ideal
current source. The ideal current source delivers current in proportion to the solar flux to
which it is exposed. A more accurate model of a PV cell considers the effect of series and
parallel resistance as shown. In a practical PV cell, there is a series resistance in a current
path through the semiconductor material, the metal grid, contacts and current collecting
bus. These resistive losses are lumped together as a series resistor (Rs). Similarly a certain
loss is associated with a small leakage of current through a resistive path in parallel with the
intrinsic device. This can be represented by a parallel resistor (Rp). Its effect is much less
conspicuous in a PV module.

 SIMULATION DIAGRAM:

PROCEDURE:

1. Choose the ammeter, voltmeter and rheostat ratings so that you get 20 uniformly spaced points on
the V-I characteristics. Note that you cannot connect a single rheostat for this purpose.
2. You will need a low resistance to obtain points near the short-circuit condition, a high resistance to

18
 obtain points near the open circuit condition, and an intermediate value to obtain the maximum
power point. This generally requires two or three rheostats of different ratings, with shorting
switch connected across the high-resistance rheostat.
3. Vary the resistance in steps and obtain the V-I characteristics. Do NOT write down the readings to
be plotted later. Plot directly while you are taking the readings. Otherwise you will not be able to
get equally spaced points on the curve.
4. Obtain the open circuit and short circuit points by actually opening and shorting the terminals (not
by bringing the rheostat jockeys to zero position). Be very careful about getting the correct slopes
at the short circuit and the open circuit points.
