Hybrid PV/WT/Batteries system management using VLSI and Pic microcontroller

Abstract

The electric power supplied by hybrid renewable sources such as Photovoltaic panels and Wind Turbines associated to storage systems as Batteries (PV/WT/BAT systems) depends on environmental factors (wind speed, light intensity and temperature). These factors are characterized by their intermittence and unpredictability; it is therefore essential to effectively control and manage power flows from these sources. This paper presents the implementation of the different energy management scenarios of a PV/WT/BAT system based on various programmable targets (VLSI and Pic microcontroller).
