Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, the application of an Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to control a hybrid solar and wind grid-tie inverter in order to reduce power oscillations and enhance power quality is presented. To extract the maximum power from the PV system, a Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm is presented that tracks the Maximum Power Point (MPP). Time-domain simulation results of the studied system are performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK under different operating conditions such as changing irradiation and short-circuit faults in the power grid. From the simulation results, it can be concluded that the designed ANFIS controller and the proposed P&O algorithm perform better than the traditional PI controller and improve transient responses under severe operating conditions.
