Abstract

This paper deals with a hybrid power system based on renewable energy sources, working in stand-alone mode. It consists of a micro-hydro plant including a synchronous generator and a wind turbine with an induction generator. A frequency controller, based on dump load and common voltage regulator for the two generators, ensures the system´s power balance. The study -including simulations- focuses on two main aspects: the power quality, and the system´s behavior under unbalanced loads and its response to a severe fault
