Modeling of hybrid photovoltaic/wind/fuel cells power system
In this paper, identification and modeling of a hybrid photovoltaic/wind/fuel cells power system is presented. This system comprises also a battery storage supplying a load via an inverter. The identification of each subsystem has been made and then the proposed system is modeled and simulated under Madab/Simulink Package. The power control of the hybrid system is introduced by using LabVIEW Software. The mathematical model topology and its power management of the global system with battery bank system are significant contributions of our work. The proposed control strategy has been experimentally implanted and practical results are compared to those obtained by simulation under the same metrological conditions, showing the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid system.
