Performance Analysis of Hybrid Wind- Solar Generation system

Abstract

Technically a system which is entirely dependent only on renewable energy sources cannot be a reliable electricity supply, especially for isolated loads in remote areas. This because the availability of the renewable energy sources cannot be ensured. Therefore, winds, solar PV hybrid systems, which combine conventional and renewable sources of energies are a better choice for isolated loads. This thesis study the hybrid system which include wind – photovoltaic system output during daily profile curve, the system include a back up diesel generator to operate in case there is absence or shortage in the output of the hybrid wind – photovoltaic system. The foundation of this project is how to supply limited amount of power to isolated area (rural area) using the principle of renewable energy- hybrid wind - solar system - to generate constant voltage during the daily curve from hybrid system (wind-PV) using useful control system for both systems. The mathematical model for this project is developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The result of this project achieves the supply of the constant amount of voltage from each system individually and total system, which guarantee the settlement of the voltage.
