Photovoltaic integration in a micro-wind turbine system

In response to the growing demand of clean energy for electricity use, tapping renewable sources like hydro, wind and solar are sought. This study aimed to analyze the dynamic performance of a Photovoltaic (PV) system when connected to a micro wind turbine. The 3kVA PV system was modeled based from the specifications enumerated in BP 7180S PV module. With the properly designed hybrid power system (HPS) controller and data acquisition modules, the PV system performed satisfactorily as exemplified by voltage, current and frequency within the normal values.
