A novel hybrid isolated generating system based on PV fed inverter-assisted wind-driven induction Generators

Isolated renewable energy systems based on hybrid wind-solar sources are considered as feasible and reliable options instead of wind-diesel systems. An isolated hybrid scheme employing a simple three-phase square-wave inverter to integrate a photovoltaic array with a wind-driven induction generator has been proposed for the first time. A dynamic mathematical model of the hybrid scheme with variables expressed in d-q synchronous reference frame has been developed. The model is implemented in the power system blockset platform and a comparison has been made between transients simulated and transients obtained in an experimental prototype. Close agreement between experimental and the simulated waveforms has been observed, which validates the model.
