Optimization and Control of Hybrid Energy System with Fuzzy Logic
Session
Mechatronics, System Engineering and Robotics
Description
Conventional energy systems face major challenges such as the depletion of nonrenewable fossil fuels, low energy efficiency, and environmental pollution. As a result, decentralized energy systems have emerged as a new trend. The implementation of hybrid systems, which consist of multiple energy sources, can improve system performance and reduce maintenance and replacement costs by complementing each other. However, controlling such a hybrid energy system represents a nonlinear problem due to the variability and nonlinear characteristics of its components. Therefore, a non-classical control method is required for optimal management. This study proposes a microgrid composed of a small hydropower plant with reservoir, a photovoltaic system, batteries, and loads, focusing on the modeling and control of this system. The study applies a fuzzy logic controller as the control methodology to monitor generation, load, and battery conditions, as well as to control water pumps for efficient energy management. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy logic-based system in ensuring the optimal operation of batteries and water pumps under different working conditions.
