REVIEW OF OPTIMIZATION OF AC-DC HYBRID MICRO-GRID

Abstract

Demand for energy has increased tremendously throughout the world due to increase numerous of loads, equipments and automation of every manual activities. These also have been high growth in population, industries and manufacturing units whose demand need to meet. Such a hike in load demand has moved mankind on the erg of critical stage of energy crisis as the generation of power throughout the sector mostly depends on conventional source of energy. This high consumption of fuel and demand of power is also a reason to blame upon for hike in fuel cost thereby the per unit Power production cost. In past few decades Renewable energy has emerged as boon for the crisis, it is one of the most important alternative energy sources. Renewable energy sources are environmental friendly, economically competitive with conventional power generation. Growth in manufacturing and newer high efficiency power converters and semiconductor devices has made the use of Renewable energy resources like Wind and solar power generation economically feasible also But renewable energy alone does not prove to be solution due to low energy conversion ratio and high initial construction cost.
