Popis: In recent years, the power sector has shifted to decentralized power generation, exemplified by microgrids that combine renewable and traditional power sources. With the introduction of renewable energy resources and distributed generators, novel strategies are required to improve reliability and quality of power (PQ). In our proposed system, a model consisting of photovoltaics, wind energy, and fuel cells has been designed to share a network, bolstered by the integration of UPQC to rectify PQ issues. Notably, our model introduces a Back-stepping controller method featuring Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) with online parameter tuning, offering superior adaptability and responsiveness. This approach not only ensures optimal grid management but also enhances efficiency and stability. Furthermore, the proposed model demands minimal additional infrastructure, leveraging existing resources to streamline implementation and maintenance, thereby promoting sustainability and cost-effectiveness. The research culminates in a comparative analysis between the MRAC-Back-stepping controller, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), and Fuzzy controller, highlighting the efficacy and versatility of our proposed model in microgrid operations. A Matlab model has been designed along with a hardware setup to demonstrate the robustness of the model.
