Mitigating Uncertainty Problems of Renewable Energy Resources Through Efficient Integration of Hybrid Solar PV-Wind Systems Into Power Networks

This project presents a comprehensive examination of hybrid wind and PV with focus on achieving consistent DC bus-bar voltage through integration with microcontroller system via buck-boost converter. Additionally, hybrid system’s output voltage is tailored to accommodate necessary battery connections. However, given influence of environmental variables like fluctuations in solar irradiation and wind velocity on power output of PV and wind seamless integration of these sources becomes paramount. To address this challenge MATLAB model is developed to simulate grid integration of hybrid wind and PV, enabling a detailed analysis of integrated grid’s performance. Simulation results are then proposed with those obtained from conventional fossil fuelbased power generation methods. In this research underscores importance of integrating RES into existing power grids and highlights efficacy of hybrid wind and PV in meeting this objective. Findings presented herein contribute to advancing discourse on sustainable energy solutions, offering valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers.
