Abstract
This chapter introduces an approach for modeling and controlling a hybrid grid-connected system. The study focuses on efficiently utilizing two distinct renewable energy sources in a manner. The hybrid energy system comprises two renewable sources: a photovoltaic generator and a wind generator. The objective is to maximize the power output of both systems to ensure a return on the investment in the system. The photovoltaic generator is paired with a DC/DC boost converter, controlled by an fuzzy logic tracker. The wind system utilizes a squirrel cage induction generator directly linked to the turbine and connected to an AC/DC converter. To regulate the DC bus voltage. The connection between the two systems is established through the DC bus. The simulation results underscore the feasibility of the proposed solution and the effectiveness of the control strategy, especially when applied to medium-sized hybrid energy systems for power generation. These outcomes highlight the advantages of this system topology.
