This wind-solar
hybrid power converter, incorporating a variable-excitation switched reluctance wind
turbine, consists of nine switching transistors, three-phase windings, five diodes, seven capacitors, four inductors, and a photovoltaic
cell. The four inductors are coupled in pairs, serving in the coupled power generation of the switched reluctance generator and the photovoltaic
cell, as well as in the variable excitation circuit. During the excitation and power generation of the switched reluctance generator, the conversion and output of the photovoltaic
cell are integrated, and the output
voltage can be directly boosted. To meet the needs of high-speed
wind power, variable excitation can be achieved through a buck-boost unit and a
switched capacitor unit, enriching the control methods. The entire power converter considers simultaneous wind and
solar power generation and supply, separate power generation and supply, and complementary
modes, offering high flexibility, high reliability, high utilization, and a common ground without isolation. It is suitable for applications in low-power, high-speed switched reluctance wind turbines and photovoltaic
hybrid power generation and power conversion.
