Single Input DC-DC Converter for Hybrid Distributed Energy Generators with Maximum Utilization using DSP Controller

Environmental friendly solutions are becoming more prominent than ever as a result of concern regarding the state of our deteriorating planet. This paper presents a new DSP controller based Switching configuration of hybrid Distributed Energy Generators (DER) with a single input DC-DC Buck-Boost converter, based on their availability . This configuration allows the two sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously depending on their availability. Because of its fast operation and reliability, DSP controller is used to improve the system efficiency at the most. Maximum amount of energy is extracted from the available source based on the control logic proposed in this paper. The system can operate in three different modes to obtain maximum efficiency based on the logic projected. The system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink 2010a, the obtained results are also analyzed and presented in this paper.
