Abstract

This paper presents a novel hybrid structural control solution designed for distillation systems that utilize a solar source alongside an electrical grid. The power conversion architecture incorporates a reversible bridge rectifier and a quadratic boost converter. The hybrid photovoltaic grid configuration offers several benefits, including source complementarity, enhanced dependability, and energy availability aligned with power requirements. Leveraging a photovoltaic source operating at maximum power facilitates energy conservation. On the control front, an adaptive technique based on a reference model is proposed. Fuzzy logic governs the quadratic boost converter, simplifying the management of its complex nonlinear nature. The control strategy aims to maximize solar power utilization, minimize harmonic components in the grid current, synthesize an adaptive controller, and achieve a near-unit power factor on the grid. The simulation results for a steady distillation system demonstrate promising findings. Despite variations in irradiation, load power, and grid drops, the system maintains a minimal bus voltage ripple, remaining close to the intended value. Optimization of the panel-generated power leads to improved PV source utilization and enhanced system efficiency. Furthermore, the combination with an electrical grid achieves a low rate of grid current distortion and a unitary power factor.
