Hybrid photovoltaic-wind system for the electricity production in isolated sites

Abstract

The main framework studied in this work is to design and fabricate an electronic charge regulator for a hybrid generation system (photovoltaic/wind) of low and medium power, with accumulator battery for different applications in isolated sites. The purposed charge controller must be able to charge, using a hybrid generator, a lead-acid battery that is constantly concerned about the power supply for 12 or 24V DC current. The principle of operation of the system is to receive the power, obviously variable and fluctuating depending on atmospheric conditions, to optimize it properly before using it totally or partially for charging the battery. Finally, the proposed system helps to reduce the complexity and cost of the hybrid systems and also ensures the largest operating region of the PV and Wind generators.
