In this work, the operation of photovoltaic system, wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator along with battery has been observed. Also, a searching space minimization-based artificial bee colony scheme is developed for tracking the maximum power in a doubly fed induction generator-based system. To track maximum power in solar systems, an improved adaptive reference voltage approach has been presented. Several conventional and optimization-based techniques are used by DFIG and photovoltaic systems to get around the non-linearity features in the output parameters. Regarding DFIG, the artificial bee colony method based on searching space minimization can be used to solve the shortcomings of the perturb and observe algorithm. Because of its weather-sensitive nature, it can withstand sudden changes in wind speed. The suggested searching space minimization based artificial bee colony strategy uses a mechanism for determining the range of optimal rotor speed in order to track the maximum power point more quickly. The maximum power point tracking performance of the adaptive reference voltage technique is superior to that of current perturb and observed-based systems. However, a huge processing memory is required in order to track the maximum possible power point. This paper proposes an enhanced maximum power point tracking technique based on adaptive reference voltage that does not require a memory unit. Additionally, despite sudden changes in irradiation conditions, improved adaptive reference voltage can drift-free and reliably monitor the maximum power point. The new adaptive reference voltage technique uses temperature and radiation sensors to identify the region nearest to the maximum power point. This helps the system respond more quickly. The proposed system with searching space minimization based artificial bee colony and improved adaptive reference voltage schemes displays lower inter-harmonic content in grid current compared to perturb and observe scheme. The proposed scheme has been implemented in MATLAB & simulink atmosphere and OPAL-RT displayed satisfactory results.
