Solar-wind-power Hybrid Power Generation System

Abstract

In comparison to traditional power generation techniques, renewable energy is reliable as well as efficient, clean, and environmentally friendly. Switching to renewable energy sources is the only way to alleviate the resource shortages that the world is now experiencing, particularly the lack of fuel resources. More and more people are turning to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. The project's goal is to utilize the programming language MATLAB/Simulink to design a hybrid power producing system that is connected to the grid and uses both solar and wind energy. The geography, solar irradiance, daylight hours, temperature, wind speed, and wind direction were all considered during the model's creation. The grid-connected hybrid model includes photovoltaic cells, a maximum power point tracker (P&O), a boost converter, an inverter, a wind turbine, and a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). In addition, the hybrid system is what powers the grid. The output is measured under a range of irradiance and temperature conditions. To examine the hybrid model, simulations are done in MATLAB.
