摘要:Recently, hybrid wind/PV microgrids have gained great attention all over the world. It has the merits of being environmentally friendly, reliable, sustainable, and efficient compared to its counterparts. Though there has been great development in this issue, the control and energy management of these systems still face challenges. The source of those challenges is the intermittent nature of both wind and PV energy. On the other hand, a new intelligent control technique called Brain Emotional Learning-Based Intelligent Controller (BELBIC) has garnered more interest. This paper proposes the control and energy management of hybrid wind/PV microgrids using a BELBIC controller. To design the system, simple power and energy analyses were proposed. The proposed microgrid was modeled and simulated using MATLAB. The responses of the energy system were tested under two different types of disturbances, namely step and ramp disturbances. These disturbances are applied to the wind speed, the irradiation level of the PV, and the load power. The results indicate that the AC load voltage and frequency are steady with negligible transients against the previous disturbance. In addition, the performance is better than that of the classical PI controller. Also, energy management acts perfectly to compensate for the intermittence and disturbances of the wind and PV energies. On the other hand, the system robustness against model parameters uncertainties in the microgrid parameters are studied.
