Survey on hybrid (Wind/Solar) renewable energy system and associated control issues

Abstract

This paper reviews various configurations based on power electronics converters and their control issues in hybrid renewable energy systems (RES). The paper is focused on important control issues and challenges in the design and power utilization of hybrid RES. Different configurations of Wind/Solar system, generation side control and grid side control have been comprehensively covered and reviewed. The methods of using control concepts for enhancing hybrid renewable energy system performance in distributed grid system to meet the recent grid codes are discussed. Finally, future directions and important challenges related to this area are also presented.
