Abstract - Renewable Energy Resources are best today to
stand against increasingly risk global warming and reduce
the use of conventional energy sources the most important
sources of such types of resources are Wind and Solar
energies which are most the efficient relatively. In wind
energy conversion system two masse drive train based wind
turbine with zero pitch angles drives Doubly Fed Induction
Generator (DFIG). The combined output of WIND/PV is
converted into AC by using Synchronous Reference Frame
Theory (d-q theory). A model of hybrid wind and
photovoltaic system is developed in MATLAB simulation.
Key Words: PV System, DFIG, Wind System, WECS,
Hybrid Solar and Wind, Photovoltaic System
1. INTRODUCTION
The increasing demand for conventional energy sources
like coal, natural gas and oil is increased the pollution and
reduction in its quantity the use of renewable energy
sources like wind, solar etc. are now well developed and
cost effectively reduced and largely used and it is also eco-
friendly. Hybrid energy system means combination of two
or more renewable energy sources like wind, solar etc.
These hybrid systems can be standalone or can be grid
connected. Hybrid system is more reliable because if there
is any shortage of power or fault in the renewable energy
sources then the loads are directly connected to the grid.
The solar energy and wind energy that are used as a input
sources of hybrid wind and PV system [1] . A solar system
is one which utilizes solar radiation to generate electrical
energy. PV cell is generally made from semiconductor
material like silicon and can produce direct current from
sunlight. The best silicon cell available have an efficiency of
about 18%. Wind Power system is a system which converts
kinetic energy of air into electrical energy. Wind power is
one of the fastest growing renewable energy resources in
last few years but individual energy resources either wind
or solar may not be effective in terms of cost, efficiency and
reliability because it is highly in irregular in nature. So
hybrid wind and PV is best suitable for high reliability of
power supply.

In wind and solar hybrid Power system the collective
power generated by wind mill and solar energy panel. For
the storage of energy generated by hybrid system a battery
is used. In this system power is generated by PV module
when light radiation available and from windmill when
wind source is available.
2. PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
Solar cell is a basically p-n junction diode fabricated in a
thin layer of semiconductor i.e. silicone. The solar cell
converts the electromagnetic radiation of solar energy into
electricity through photovoltaic effect. When solar cell
exposed to the sunlight, photons with energy greater than
the band-gap energy of the semiconductor are absorbed
and create some electron-hole pairs which is proportional
to the incident irradiation. As the irradiation level is
increased the output current of the PV cell also increased.
For making the simulation modal of the PV cell we required
its equivalent circuit.
