Design of novel grid-tied solar — Wind hybrid power plant using photovoltaic cell emulating system

The utilization rate of the power conditioner in the grid-tied solar power system is low because the operation of photovoltaic (PV) cell depends on the sunlight. Adding the small scale wind power generating system to the existing solar power system can increase the utilization rate of the power conditioner. In this paper, we propose a novel design method by which the small scale wind power generating system can connect to the grid-tied power conditioner of solar panel and hybrid power system can transmit power to the utility grid.
