A Study of a Hybrid Renewable Energy System: Solar PV And Wind Energy with Battery Storage

Abstract

Hybrid renewable energy systems generate power by combining two or more renewable energy sources. Traditionally grid energy method having an intermittent failure issues which can interrupt many industrial activities. The aims of this research to implement a combination of a PV-Wind-Battery hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) using MATLAB/Simulink software. As a result, the usage of renewable energy (RE) sources such as solar PV and wind energy is required as a backup. The combination of both as a non-conventional energy can overcome the power failure issue.  Because solar energy is intermittent, a hybrid energy source that combines two or more renewable sources with battery storage may help to increase the scheme's effectiveness. Emphasis is given to the analysis of parameters and performance of the standalone solar PV system, which incorporates a DC-DC boost converter employing the Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm. The battery modelling also being addressed, where it will serve as a backup power source for the entire system. The MATLAB/Simulink simulation result shown that the input and output characteristics of the solar PV, wind turbine and battery energy storage were accurately captured and aligned with manual calculations. The implementation of the boost converter with Perturb and Observe (P&O) MPPT technique proved beneficial. The successful simulation
