ABSTRACT

Renewable energy system is growing exponentially for continuous increase in energy demand and depletion of fossil fuels. The renewable energy has a great potential in terms of producing clean energy and reducing the carbon emission which is generated from the other sources. Renewable energy such as solar and wind are the emerging alternative for fossil fuelbased generation and is expected to play a significant role in producing clean energy throughout the world to achieve zero carbon footprint. The growing demand of renewable energy tends to produce a quality output power and capable to synchronize the exiting grid within the standards. An appropriate controller is required to control the power produce by the different renewable energy sources since they are highly intermittent in nature. In this chapter, a concise review of a different control strategies associated with the solar-and wind-based generation is presented. Thus, this chapter is intended to provide a suitable reference for further research in the field of determining the control strategies for renewable-based generation using solar, wind as well as hybrid power generation.
