Abstract

A novel approach for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) extraction using the Hill Climbing method in hybrid solar and wind energy systems. MPPT is essential for optimizing the energy harvesting efficiency of sustainable energy sources, the integration of multiple sources poses unique challenges. The proposed Hill Climbing algorithm is applied to both solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind turbines, enabling efficient tracking of the Maximum Power Points (MPPs) under varying environmental circumstances. This article investigates the performance of the Hill Climbing MPPT method through simulation and experimental validation in a hybrid energy system. The algorithm's adaptability to the dynamic nature of solar irradiance and wind speed is analyzed, demonstrating its capability to rapidly converge to the MPPs for both solar and wind components. The integration of Hill Climbing MPPT for both sources enhances the overall energy harvesting efficiency of the hybrid system. The Hill Climbing MPPT method offers a robust and unified solution for hybrid solar and wind energy systems, providing improved performance and simplicity of implementation. The findings contribute to advancing the optimization of renewable energy systems by addressing the challenges associated with the simultaneous utilization of solar and wind resources.
