MODELING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF HYBRID SOLAR-WIND-HYDRO RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS

Abstract: One of the major worldwide concerns of the utilities is to reduce the emissions from traditional power plants by using renewable energy and to reduce the high cost of supplying electricity to remote areas. Hybrid power systems can provide a good solution for such problems because they integrate renewable energy along with the traditional power plants. Hybrid systems are characterized by containing two or more technologies of electrical generation, in order to optimize global efficiency of the processes. Basically this system involves the integration of solar, wind, hydroelectric system with battery storage device that will gives continuous power. Solar panels are used for converting solar energy and wind turbines are used for converting wind energy into electricity and hydroelectric system is used for generation of electricity from kinetic energy of the water. The model has designed to provide power quality for hybrid renewable energy systems. In this Paper, the modeling of hybrid solar photovoltaic, wind and hydro energy system with battery storage are done by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and results are presented.
