Description
Summary:The phrase “Multi-Power System (MPS)” refers to an application that combines different energy conversion technologies to meet a specific energy need. These integrated power systems are rapidly being lauded as essential for future decarbonized grids to achieve optimum efficiency and cost reduction. The fact that MPSs multiply several sources also multiplies their advantages to be environmentally friendly and increases the possibility of energy autonomy as they do not depend on a single source. Consequently, this increases the reliability and reduces the production costs and the size of the storage system. However, the main disadvantages of such a system are the complexity of its architecture and the difficulty in managing the power level, which leads the system to face many faults and sometimes failure. In this case, a fault-tolerant control (FTC) system can automatically adapt to component malfunctions while maintaining closed-loop system stability to achieve acceptable performance. However, on the way to build efficient FTC, one first needs to study the faults that may occur in the system in order to tolerate them. This review paper presents the faults of the MPS electrical sources used in a hybrid system, including a photovoltaic generator and a diesel generator, plus a lead–acid battery as a storage device. Only the most-encountered faults are treated.
