Improvement of the integration of a grid-connected wind-photovoltaic hybrid system

This paper presents control strategies for the integration of a grid-connected wind-photovoltaic hybrid system via adaptation converters connected to a common DC bus. For both wind and solar system, adequate control algorithms have been implemented for the maximum power extraction. The grid side converter has been connected to the point of common coupling (PPC) through an RL filter. The control of the grid side converter (GSC) was made in order to control the power quality and quantity of the feed power to the grid. At the DC bus, a PI-regulation control was adopted to overcome the ripples caused by the power flow. Performances of the adopted control laws have been evaluated by MATLAB/Simulink simulations.
