Abstract

AbstractA novel single maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategy for Hybrid PV and wind energy system (WES) to track the maximum power is proposed in this paper. The proposed MPPT technique constitutes of artificial neural network (ANN) based radial basis function network (RBFN) control strategy. The hybrid PV and WES is coupled to the grid through boost converter and voltage source inverter. Diesel generator is also inter-connected with grid to provide sufficient back-up during untoward condition. The proposed methodology uses a single MPPT control unit for both PV and WES simultaneously rather than individual MPPT techniques. The proposed MPPT strategy is validated for both standalone and grid connected system and the results are validated with single P&O method to validate its efficiency and computational speed. The proposed configuration is developed in MATLAB/Simulink platform with varying input conditions for 560 W PV system, 500 W wind system and 1 kW diesel generator system.KeywordHybrid system with ANN control strategy
