Abstract

PLTH Bayu Baru is one of the hybrid power plants (HPP) located in Baru beach, Pandansimo, Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It generates electrical energy from two sources, wind and solar energy. However, a problem is encountered regarding wind turbine mechanics due to using a manual switch for braking during periods of excessive wind speed. This study proposes an automatic wind turbine braking system through a utilized fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for the PLTH Bayu Baru application. The Mamdani type FLC without complex mathematical models is applied to the Arduino Uno development board to realize the proposed systems. The error (Error_V) and delta error (dError_V) values from the generator voltage sensor become the input of the proposed systems, while the pulse width modulation (PWM) becomes the output for controlling the on/off period of the MOSFET as switching devices. The proposed systems have been tested on a micro-scale wind turbine with PMSG 12V/400W type. From the testing results, the proposed system successfully braked automatically at the point wherein the generator voltage exceeds the setpoint value. Also, the proposed system keeps the generator voltage less than 13.8V, so the problem caused by excessive speed can be resolved.

Abstract

Single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) was considered a good alternative to a DC-DC converter for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The SEPIC converter can operate with an input voltage greater or less than the regulated output voltage, or as a step-up or step-down. As a step-up converter, SEPIC boosts PV voltage to specific levels. However, gain limitation and voltage stress continue to reduce the efficiency of conventional SEPIC converters. Because of this, researchers created a modified SEPIC converter to improve performance. In this paper, six modified SEPIC converters were compared and evaluated. To compare fairly, all modified SEPIC converters are non-isolated and use a single switch. Power simulator (PSIM) software was used to simulate each converter with a BISOL BMO-250 PV module and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) P&O controller. The converter with the highest static voltage gain and lowest duty cycle has been identified. It results in up to ten times voltage increment with a 0.8-duty ratio. All topologies have the same voltage stress, with maximum and minimum values of 30.1 and 29.5 V, respectively. On the other hand, each topology produces different average efficiencies, with the highest and lowest efficiency at 99.5% and 97.2%, respectively.
