Abstract

Renewable energy sources (RES) are becoming more popular because the entire globe wants to use clean energy and it is easy to get to them. Renewable energy methods are now easy to add to power systems, so they can be used in both small distribution systems and large power grids. This integration of RES is bad for the quality of the power, the stability of the system, and the security of the network. Harmonics are made by devices that aren’t linear and are linked to the power grid. Harmonics in a power source are multiples of the fundamental frequency, and these harmonic frequencies can cause voltages and currents to be messed up. Changes in volts and currents can hurt the power system and cause problems with the power quality. So, estimating harmonics is a very important part of making sure the power system network works well. Harmonic loss evaluation is becoming a bigger problem for the renewable power system business because it affects the cost of running the system and how long its parts last. In remote places, there is a lot of interest in hybrid applications that use more than one renewable energy source, such as solar and wind energy. In the study, a model of a micro-grid that uses renewable energy sources is made. The goal is to create a model of a hybrid wind/solar micro-grid by using an asymmetrical multilevel inverter, which is a new way of doing things. The goal is to design a solar-PV, wind, and battery source with a boost converter using the maximum power point tracking technique (MPPT) to get the most energy out of the renewable energy sources and test the performance of the system in terms of harmonics. A method called “nearest level control” is used, and the results are compared to the reviews that have already been done to improve the reduction of harmonics. This article lays out the challenges presented by various storage methods for usage in micro-grids. The ideas presented in this paper significantly contribute to the growing movement toward developing a low-cost, high-efficiency, and long-lived energy storage technology model suitable for usage in micro-grids.
