Design of fuzzy logic controller for fused Luo converter based solar/wind hybrid green energy system

Nowadays, power shortage has become a massive problem, especially in southern parts of India which could not be met by conventional power generation. The challenging task of obtaining continuous power leads to the focus on green energy sources. Green energy sources are pollution free, available at free of cost and easily accessible even in remote areas. But the output of these systems is highly variable due to uncertainty of weather conditions. So, we are focusing on the hybrid combination of solar/wind generation system to extract maximum power. Power electronic DC/DC converters are employed to produce a regulated output voltage. Dual port Luo converter has been used for the efficient power management of solar/wind sources and load integration. A three-phase induction motor has been interfaced at the load as an application part of the proposed converter. The performance of the converter is analyzed and evaluated using MATLAB and Simulink. Then, a suitable controller is proposed for renewable energy based household application. Here, fuzzy logic controller is applied to get a regulated DC output. Hardware implementation of fused Luo topology is done using FPGA-Mojo-3 controller, and an output of 9.8 V and 1.01A is obtained.
