Operation Planning of Wind-PV-Battery Hybrid System

This paper explains the operation principles of two renewable energy sources (RES) hybrid system consists of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power (WP) which are connected to the battery energy storage (BES) system and load demand. The system has been designed for the city in Sudan and the results are presented for variable wind speeds and different solar radiations. From the results, it can be seen that the maximum power is being extracted for all wind speeds from rated speed to average speed. The location of the solar power station is suitable to install near to the wind farm station since the sun and wind powers usually complement each other, this could prove to be a good combination. In addition, most importantly the solar energy and wind power generation systems also produce no harmful waste and deplete no resources. The proposed system is important for the backup system during the changes in solar radiation and wind speed under the assumption that the load demand is fixed as well as helpful for power system management and designing.
