Enhancing Renewable Energy Integration Through Advanced Power Electronics
Keywords:
Power Electronics, Renewable Energy Integration, Harmonic Distortion, Smart Grids, Fault ToleranceAbstract
Power electronic systems must be advanced rapidly to integrate renewable energy at large scales since solar and wind power possess high levels of variability and intermittency. Scientists in this study developed new converter designs together with intelligent controls that improve renewable energy sources (RES) entry into contemporary power distribution systems. The designed project used structured procedures which incorporated design steps and simulation methods and evaluation protocols executed through MATLAB/Simulink and PSIM testing framework for dynamic system assessment. Power conversion efficiency reached 96.8% as the proposed system surpassed conventional configurations which operated at 92.3%. The system operated with total harmonic distortion (THD) below 3% which meets IEEE standards while ensuring the prevention of power quality problems. The system demonstrated improved voltage regulation characteristics and enhanced transient reaction as it operated between variable load and irradiance conditions while showing a 22% increase in mean time between failures (MTBF) despite being more resilient to faults. Predictive control combined with machine learning algorithms strengthened the system's ability to detect faults in real-time for adaptive energy management operations. The research outlines the forward-looking capability of smart power electronics to develop resilient adaptable renewable energy systems which are suitable for future smart grid implementations.
