Abstract

In an era driven by sustainable energy solutions, the synergy of photovoltaic (PV) system stands as a beacon of hope for meeting the world's growing energy demands while minimizing environmental impact. This research ventures into the domain of renewable energy integration by seamlessly including a PV system, ingeniously controlled by Chaotic Flower Pollination Optimized Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller capable of optimizing the efficiency in the face of ever-changing weather dynamics. The PV system's quest for optimal efficiency receives a substantial boost through the implementation of the High Gain Modified Luo Converter. Designed to achieve an optimal PV output voltage, this converter's prowess finds its true calling in grid applications, where precision and efficiency are paramount. Furthermore, this research extends its purview to incorporate a bidirectional converter linked to an energy storage solution, such as a battery, through a common DC link. The output power is then passed to the Flyback Converter, seamlessly connected to a 31 level Cascaded H Bridge Multi-Level Inverter (31-level CHB MLI) controlled by PI controller. This formidable inverter architecture facilitates the efficient delivery of power to the grid, ensuring a smooth and controlled integration of renewable energy resources. This strategic integration bolsters the system's adaptability, enabling the seamless management of energy flows and grid interactions along with load balancing in MLI. The MATLAB simulation platform is used for confirming the system's overall performance. According to the simulation results, the proposed approach achieves the maximum efficiency with the lowest THD value of 94.5% and 2.5%, respectively.
