Review on Renewable Source Integrated Topologies with Power Quality Enhancing Strategies

Abstract

New emerging technologies and growing population of present world demands more electrical power. These drastic changes in power demand can be supplied through effective renewable energy source grid integration. As input of these sources is not stable, need to plan for efficient and cost effective models. This paper gives a complete overview of different grid tied renewable source topologies, power quality issues, different control strategies and optimal usage of renewable sources. This review drives the power engineers and researchers towards the renewable source based hybrid topology design with different control strategies where both renewable integration and power quality mitigation together taken care. With this review one can understand the design of efficient and cost effective renewable source integrated grid topologies to cope with modern world abnormal power demand.
