Abstract. A hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) refers to a system that uses a
combination of RESs such as wind and PV solar energies to improve and increase energy
production and system efficiency. Since one energy source is used to provide electricity,
the other one may be available or unavailable. This study is dealt with the design and
analysis of a grid connected HRES conversion based on PV solar and wind turbine energy
sources that use a DC converter and a permanent magnet synchronous generator. The goal
of this work is to suggest a better dc bus voltage regulation approach for PV/Wind power
generation systems that are grid-connected. To get a maximum amount of power
generation, a maximum power point tracking controller based on Perturb and Observation
algorithm is used. This approach improves efficiency and reduces harmonic content
problems. The THD value of the output voltage was 0.94%. The HRES is built and
modelled by the MATLAB program.
Keywords: hybrid renewable energy system, solar cell, wind turbine, MPPT, Boost

1 Introduction
The most pressing challenge in recent decades has been the efficient utilization of renewable
energy sources. As a result of increased energy demand and limited fossil fuel resources,
pollutants and save on fuel expenses have been reduced. Renewable Energy Systems (RESs)
are getting popular and becoming more economically effective than traditional energy
generation systems for supplying dependable energy in areas where conventional power grids
are not available [1],[2]. RESs are inherently changeable and fluctuate, and often provide little
power as compared to traditional power generation. As a result, to supply more dependable and
sustainable energy, a way of combining varied sources is required [3]. A hybrid RES (HRES)
is formed by the combination of multiple RESs, which provides continuous electricity to
customers as opposed to a system that is based on a single source [4],[5]. Power converters are
used in HRES to allow flexible and effective connectivity of RESs and to utilize in either grid-
connected or standalone mode. Nonetheless, the HRES cannot deliver adequate and consistent
electricity to fulfil the demand power due to the random and unpredictable nature of PV and
wind systems [6]. To assure the HRES's dynamics, certain reliable power sources such a fuel
cells (FC) [7], batteries, diesel generators, or super capacitors[8], must be included in the HRES
particularly in "standalone" mode and in the utility in "grid-connected" mode. Various hybrid

increased through connects extra cells in series (User), whereas the current rating can be
improved by producing more parallel connections (Np). Since 𝑅𝑠 is low and 𝑅𝑠ℎ is high, the
panel's short circuit current is exactly equivalent to the PV panel current. Irradiation and
temperature factors affect the current provided by PV, which is expressed as [18]:

2.2 Modelling of PMSG
The PMSG is created by projecting its equations onto a reference coordinate system that rotates
in time with the magnet flux. A phase-locked loop (PLL) is utilized to synchronize the d-q
rotating reference frame with the ABC three-phase frame [20]. After that, the following is a
dynamic model of the surface-mounted PMSG [21].

𝑉𝑑𝑠 = 𝑅𝑠 . 𝑖𝑑𝑠 + 𝐿𝑠 - (5)

𝑑𝑖𝑞𝑠
𝑉𝑞𝑠 = 𝑅𝑠 . 𝑖𝑞𝑠 + 𝐿𝑠 + (6)

Where Ls, Rs, w, s and are the generator inductance and resistance, electrical generator
speed, and the d-q axis magnet flux, which are represented as follows:
= (7)
(9)
(10)
(11)
Where 𝑝 is the number of pole pairs in the generator. Eq.(10) demonstrates that the 𝑞𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 current
in the stator may be used to adjust the generator torque directly. The following statement may
be used to define the mechanical dynamics model of the specified wind turbine system:
+f (12)
(14)
𝑃𝑚𝑒𝑐
𝑇𝑚𝑒𝑐 = (15)
𝑤𝑚𝑒𝑐
The power coefficient (𝐶𝑝 ) for the WT is also a function of the tip speed ratio (λ), blade pitch
angle (β) (in degree) which is defined by [23]:
(16)
Where λ is defined to be the ratio between the turbine speed (𝑤 ) and the wind speed (𝑣w ) and
is given by.
(17)
Consequently, equation (17) can be used to calculate the mechanical angular speed of a turbine,
which represents the relationship between mechanical and electrical torque, incorporating the
generator and turbine masses:
𝑑𝑤𝑚𝑒𝑐⁄
𝐽∗ 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑇𝑒𝑙𝑐 − 𝑇𝑚𝑒𝑐 - 𝐵𝑚𝑒𝑐 .∗ 𝑤𝑚𝑒𝑐 (18)
Fig 6 shows the whole Simulink wind turbine model for wind turbines may be created using the
equations descript from (13) to (15). This figure shows that for a certain wind velocity (𝑣w ), the
generated power by turbines (𝑃𝑚𝑒𝑐 ) is affected by the value of 𝐶𝑝 , air density ( ), and parameters
of the turbine. The density of the air and the characteristics of the turbine (which are defined by
the design) are constant [24]. As a result, in a turbine with a fixed blade pitch angle, the output
power has been mostly depending on the value of Cp, which is determined by the wind turbine's
rotor speed. As a result, when Cp is in the great value, the output power of the wind turbine is
maximum. This ideal value of Cp occurs with various values of as shown in equation (16). For
a given wind speed, there will be only one ideal rotor speed where the Cp is at maximum value.
The factor 𝐶𝑝_𝑚𝑎𝑥 is obtained at optimal value of ( ) to maximize the extracted power. Fig 7
shows 𝐶𝑝 at its maximum value (𝐶𝑝_𝑚𝑎𝑥 ) and at its optimum value ( ).
The amplitude and frequency of the voltage output from a PMSG vary for a variable speed wind
turbine when the wind speed changes from time to time, while in this circumstance the generator
power output should be stabilized. Therefore, PMSG with wind turbine in this configuration is
linked to the DC bus through a three-phase rectifier, as illustrated in Fig 2. The WECS is
connected to a rectifier followed by a filtered-DC boost converter circuit based on the MPPT
algorithm and P&O method. The parameters of the wind turbine system with a PMSG, used in
the simulation, are presented in Table 1. A PMSG WT is modelled in a Simulink environment
as seen in Fig 8. The mechanical torque 𝑇𝑚 is generated by feeding the wind and rotor speeds
into the control block.

The boost converter circuit is often used as an interface device between load and PV panel,
where the PV output is combined with the load to obtain maximum power. It converts the
magnitude of the input DC voltages to variable DC voltages. The power circuit of the boost
converter used in this study is shown in Fig (9). The duty ratio is used to regulate the output
voltage provided by the boost converter circuit.

where D, 𝑉𝑖𝑛 and 𝑉𝑜 are duty ratio, input, and output DC voltage. The following calculations
are used to quantify and choose the inductor and capacitor values of a boost converter [25].

Where ∆𝐼𝑙 , 𝑓𝑠𝑤 and ∆𝑉𝑜 are the ripple of input current, switching frequency, and output voltage
ripple respectively. To increase utilization of the PV panel, A MPPT method is employed. As
the power provided by these panels varies constantly with environmental conditions like
temperature and irradiance, this technique is critical for ensuring the transition of the maximum
power from PV to load. Many different techniques such as constant voltage, open voltage, P&O,
neural network, fuzzy logic control, and incremental conductance have been developed to
optimize the generation of solar energy [26]. These strategies vary in terms of difficulty,
expense, level of effectiveness and tracking speed, popularity, hardware, and so on. An accurate
cost analysis of this MPPT algorithm can be prepared by understanding the method (analogy or
digital) used in the control system, the number of used sensors, and any additional power
components, while keeping all additional costs (power components, electronic components,
boards...) constant overall systems[27]. In this paper, the P&O technique is used because of its
simplicity and required only one sensor. The algorithm is formed by perturbing a small
increment in voltage of PV and observing the power change. Figure (10) illustrates a flowchart
of the P&O method [28].
The inverter is an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied in both directions along
with a load. The H-Bridge is created by combining four solid-state switches and controlled based
on the pulse width modulation (SPWM) method. A sinusoidal with a triangle waveform is
compared to creating this sort of signal.

5 Conclusion
In current work, an HRES which is consists of two types of RESs ( PV module and a wind
turbine connected by PMSG) has been designing and simulated to compensate for the deficit
that occurs, as well as to reduce the cost of preparing the electric power generated by the
traditional electric power system. Also. It is used to improve the quality and quantity of the
generated power. The generated power of the PV module is connected to the load via a common
DC bus that links through a DC-DC boost converter. While the WT PMSG is connected directly
to the DC bus side through a separate DC-DC boost converter after converting the AC output
of the PMSG to DC by using a three-phase rectifier. In addition, two separate MPPT algorithms
are used to maximize the generated power from the two RES. The output power of the two
boost converters is connected to the common DC bus to supply a single phase SPWM inverter
that is used to feed a generated power to the load. The hybrid system is modelled using
MATLAB/Simulink. To check the ability of the suggested HRES to supply the shortage in the
required power, different operating conditions are considered. Three PV modules are selected
and connected in series to get an input voltage of 110V. To adjust the output voltages of both
PV and wind turbine generators, the MPPT algorithm based on the P&O technique has been
used. In addition, an SPWM technique has been used to produce the gate signals of the single-
phase inverter. The system is tested with varying input parameters of solar radiation, wind speed,
and temperature. The obtained results show that the simulated model has acceptable
performance, and it is having the ability to fill the shortage in the supply of electricity. Moreover,
the THD values of the simulated systems are lay within standards limits.
