Implementation of a Real-Time MPPT of Hybrid Renewable Energy System Composed of Wind Turbine and Solar PV Cells

Abstract : This paper presents a hybrid multi-source renewable energy system (HS) combining a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) sources, in a parallel electrical architecture in DC coupling mode. The reason of this coupling is to satisfy a DC load while using power electronics interface to drive both sources, through MPPT P&O control and operate them in their MPP maximum power point. An electrical testing workbench is carried out in our Laboratory, to test and validate our approach. To do that, we used the DSPACE 1104 card, as a control card that is used for the implementation of our P&O algorithm. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the proposed coupling and control strategy scheme.
