Modeling of Hybrid Solar – Wind Renewable Energy Systems with Battery Storage

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. The commonly used renewable sources are solar photovoltaic and wind energy systems have received a great acceptance in field of power generation for pollution free performance, free availability and for great reliability. Further development and effective use of natural resources, the hybrid systems are developed. 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 with battery storage device that will gives continuous power. In this Paper, the modeling of hybrid solar photovoltaic and wind energy system with battery storage are done by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and results are presented.
