Project : Microgrid Frequency Deviation Reduction Using Robust Control along with Integrated Storage System To improve the efficiency of micro-grids and to reduce fossil fuel usage and pollution, renewable energy sources may be integrated with traditional micro-grids. The output power of the system will impact on the system stability and cause large frequency and voltage deviation in microgrid. The high-speed, grid-attached storage systems such as batteries have been proposed for reducing frequency and voltage deviations. In such situations, conventional control approaches are no longer sufficient to constrain these deviations, and at the same time limit the battery size. The sophisticated robust control algorithms are needed to achieve better performance despite unexpected disturbances and model uncertainties. In this project robust control strategies for both the battery and conventional generation systems are used along with controllers designed to minimize battery size while at the same time significantly reducing frequency variations, despite variable loads in the micro-grid, and the incorporation of a renewable source. These controllers are designed to cope with load transients, output fluctuations, model uncertainties and measurement noise/errors are proposed. The results for the above proposed method are going to analyze in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
ADVANCED WAY OF SUN TRACKING SOLAR PANEL Description: The aim of our project is to track the sun and rotate the solar panel according to it such that we can receive sunlight to the peak level always during the day time.This movement is achieved by interfacing a DC MOTOR to the solar panel that changes its direction according to the positioning of the sun light falling on the LDR. This is achieved by using a programmed micro-controller to deliver stepped pulses in periodical time intervals for the dc motor to rotate the mounted panel.
