Abstract

Electrical energy has an essential role in society as it ensures high quality of life and steady economic development. Demand for the electric energy has been steadily growing throughout the recent history and this demand is expected to grow further in the future. Most of electrical energy nowadays is generated by burning fossil fuels and there are serious concerns about the resulting emission. Renewable energy sources appeared as a viable alternative for environmentally hazardous sources. However, sources of renewable energy have considerably unpredictable and environmental conditions dependent power output and as such can’t be directly incorporated into existing electrical grid. These sources are usually integrated to the electrical grid as part of microgrid or hybrid energy source that consists of two or more energy sources, converters and/or storage devices. In hybrid energy sources, generation and storage elements complement each other to provide high quality and more reliable power delivery. This area of research is its infant stage and requires a lot of research and development effort to be done. Main objective of this thesis is to develop a framework for analysis and control of power electronics interfaces in microgrid connected hybrid energy source. The framework offers the generalized approach in treatment of control problem for hybrid energy sources. Development of the framework is done for the generalized hybrid source comprised of energy source(s), storage element(s), power electronic interfaces and control system. The main contributions of this thesis are, generalization of control problem for power electronics interfaces in hybrid energy source, the development of switching algorithm for three phase switching converters based on the closed loop behavior of the converters and the development of a maximum power point tracking algorithm for the renewable energy sources.
