Simulation of Hybrid Solar-Wind Power Plant Using MATLAB

Satinder Singh, Manpreet Singh

Abstract: In today?s world Renewable energy sources have become a popular alternative electrical energy source. Generations through wind power and photovoltaic systems have increased in last few years. In this study we proposed a hybrid energy model which consists both solar power plant and wind turbine power plant as an alternative source of electrical energy. A simple control technique is proposed to track a point at which maximum power will be delivered by both solar power plant and wind turbine power plant under changing environmental conditions. For this purpose software named Matlab/Simulink is used for the simulation and feasibility of wind-solar hybrid power plant.
