Performance Improvement of Standalone Renewable Energy Systems

This book, “Certain Investigations on Performance Improvement of Standalone Renewable Energy Systems” has been written in a simple and lucid language for Electrical undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D. students of all engineering colleges. This book helps to enable the students in understanding the Implantation of Fuzzy – Elephant Herding Optimization Technique for Maximum Power Point Tracking in Hybrid Wind-Solar System. The book can serve as a reference for academic researchers, practicing engineers and other professionals. This research proposes an MPPT for a hybrid wind-solar power system using Fuzzy Logic Control based EHO algorithm. It is recognized that the implementation of Elephant Herding Optimization algorithm provides the benefits like fast convergence and efficiency. Moreover, Fuzzy Logic Controller provides the fast response and high performance even under the variation in climate. MPPT algorithms are used to acquire maximum regulation of the hybrid wind-solar power system.
