Analysis Of Hybrid Models: Comparative Analysis Of Different Battery Types And Solar Panels With Matlab Simulink

Abstract

Growing populations, more sophisticated technology, and stringent rules to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are the main forces propelling the need for renewable energy sources. Photovoltaics, concentrated solar power, and solar heating and cooling systems are just a few examples of the technologies developed to harness the Sun's heat, which has been around for a long time and is a sustainable energy option. However, as the percentage of photovoltaic (PV) systems in low voltage (LV) networks grows, power quality challenges emerge. Supercapacitors (SCs) are one potential option because, because of their higher power density, they can store more energy in less time than batteries. Hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) use supercapacitors to store peak power to prolong the life of batteries. For optimal performance, active HESS systems provide independent voltage regulation of the battery and supercapacitor. Battery management, which seeks to combine high efficiency with little stress, is crucial to the successful functioning of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The rising popularity of plug-in electric automobiles is, however, impeded by the need for affordable, long-driving batteries. Because of its extended lifespan, quick charging capabilities, and high power, lithium-ion batteries have emerged as the best choice for hybrid and solar PV applications. Different kinds of solar panels and batteries were compared in terms of their availability, variety of technological representation, and usefulness in hybrid energy systems. The analysis was carried out using MATLAB Simulink. This study sheds information on the technical diversity of solar panel types and battery technologies, which is helpful for academics, lawmakers, and engineers developing and implementing hybrid energy systems.
