Abstract

In this paper, a modified single P&O MPPT
control algorithm for hybrid solar and wind energy system is designed and analyzed
for the standalone application. The
extraction of maximum power from the intermittent and erratic nature renewable
energy sources are the main target in the hybrid
renewable energy system. In the literature,
many researchers developed an individual MPPT control algorithm for solar and
wind energy system, which in turn increases the number of control algorithms in
a hybrid system. In this paper, a single
modified P&O control algorithm is proposed to extract maximum power from
both the sources simultaneously. The performance of the proposed P&O MPPT
control algorithm is analyzed by comparing
with the conventional individual P&O MPPT control method under different weather
conditions. A 560 W PV system and 500 W wind system is considered with conventional
Boost converter topology for the design
of the hybrid system and it is simulated
in Matlab/Simulink environment to analyze the performance of proposed control
algorithm.
