Optimal design of PV-SMES systems for power quality enhancement using pelicon optimized multi-level inverter model

In this article, a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system is integrated with a photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy source. The integrated system can achieve power balancing with voltage stability, high power quality, and reliability. Here, a Bonobo Optimization Algorithm (BOA)-based MPPT control has been developed to get the most electrical energy out of the solar PV cells under fluctuating weather conditions, including temperature and irradiance. The output voltage is greatly increased with minimal switching complexity by using the Zeta DC-DC converter, which helps to meet the energy requirements of load applications. Then, the Total Harmonics Distortions (THD) has been decreased with lower switching stress, power loss, and voltage ripples at the load using the sophisticated and simple five-level MLI circuit model. In addition, the performance of MLI has been greatly improved by tuning the controlling gain parameters with the use of Pelicon Optimization (PO) technique. Moreover, the Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) is used in order to achieve the best power quality results with the reduced overall harmonic distortions. The performance and results of the suggested circuit model are validated in this study through a complete simulation analysis using a variety of assessment indicators.
