Abstract Several isolated areas in the world currently use only diesel generators (DGs) to meet the electricity demand. Besides costs and pollution, the use of DGs has many other drawbacks over the local renewable energy sources (RESs). Hybrid standalone system consisting of many elements such as photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, DG, energy storage system, various forms of active demand etc. Most of these elements are connected through interface power electronic devices giving rise to flexibility but not without other operational problems such as power quality etc. Fortunately, such technical problems have control solution. In this presentation many possible hybrid renewable energy standalone system structures will be briefed and control of some of the systems will be discussed in detail.

Biography Ambrish Chandra (M’91–SM’99–F’14) received BE, from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)], Roorkee, M.Tech from IIT Delhi and PhD from the University of Calgary, Canada. Since 1994 he has been professor and between 2012 to 2015 as the director of the multidisciplinary graduate program on “renewable energy and energy efficiency” at the EEE department of École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS), Université du Québec, Montréal, QC. The primary focus of his work is related to the advancement of new theory & control algorithms for power electronic converters for power quality improvement in distribution systems & integration of renewable energy sources. He has published more than 300 referred research articles in these areas with highly cited articles in Power Quality. He is coauthor of John Wiley book ‘Power Quality – Problems and Mitigation Techniques’. Besides being a highly cited (google citations 11400, h-index 45), his work has been extensively taken up by the industry. He is editor and guest editor of special issues and a Chair of subcommittee on ‘Power Quality’ of IEEE IES . Dr. Chandra is a PES /IES distinguished lecturer, Fellow of the IEEE and is the recipient of the 2018 ‘IEEE Canada P. Ziogas Electric Power Award’, highest Canadian award on electrical power engineering.
