Efficiency enhancement through hybrid integration of five-phase PMSG with photovoltaic generator with Vienna rectifier

This paper explores the hybridization of a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator integrated with a photovoltaic generator. The hybrid configuration aims to maximize overall energy production and optimize system performance. The distinctive feature of the proposed structure lies in the parallel connection of a five-phase machine with a Vienna rectifier and a PV system directly linked to the inverter. This novel integration, associated with the designed controllers, significantly reduces switching losses, enhancing system efficiency and demonstrating robust performance despite the complexities associated with the control strategy. The paper delves into the design and evaluation of this nonlinear hybrid system, shedding light on its potential to contribute to sustainable and efficient renewable energy solutions.
