Operating modes of the proposed system.

ModeAvailable sourceVoltage conditionPowerOperation of energy sources in DC-link

Mode 1PS = 1VBS ≤ VBS, MinPS ≥ PL and PW < PL or PW = 0The SAPF utilizes solar energy to compensate for harmonics, reactive power, and share load demand when solar power is superior to load demand.
PW = 0VBW ≤ VBW, Min or VS = 0
PBS = 0
PBW = 0

Mode 2PS = 1VBS ≥ VBS, MinPS ≥ PO and PW < PL or PW = 0Having a fully charged battery and a solar array that can supply power to both the DC-link and the load at once, the SAPF is able to run at maximum efficiency. During solar battery charging, constant voltage is switched off to prevent self-discharge.

Mode 3PS = 0VBS ≥ VBS, MinPS < PL or PS = 0 and PW < PLPower is supplied to the SAPF-PV load and DC-link when the battery is fully charged.

PBW = 0
PBS = 1

Mode 4PS = 0VBS ≤ VBS, MinPS < PL or PS = 0 and PW ≥ PLSAPF-WE compensates for harmonics and reactive power when generating wind energy exceeds load demand, as well as sharing load demands when the solar and wind batteries are not fully charged.
PBS = 0VBW ≤ VBW, Min or VS = 0
PBW = 0
PW = 1

Mode 5PS = 0VBS < VBS MinPS < PL or PS = 0 and PW = 0As a result of fully charging the wind battery, the SAPF-WE can operate simultaneously on both DC-link and load power from the wind turbine. To prevent self-discharge, continuous voltage charging is switched off for the wind battery.
PBS = 0VBW ≥ VBW, Min or VS = 0
PW = 1
PBW = 1

Mode 6PS = 0VBS < VBS, MinPS < PL or PS = 0 and PW < PL or PW = 0Power is provided to SAPF-WE's load and DC-link by a fully charged wind battery.
PW = 0VBW ≥ VBW, Min or VS = 0
PBS = 0
PBW = 1
