ABSTRACT
Use of Renewable energy sources for power production is increasing day by day. In this paper Fuzzy Neural Network is
proposed to get regulated power from the renewable energy sources. A stand-alone hybrid power generation system
consisting of solar and PMSG with AC load is designed in this paper. Additionally P & O algorithm for Solar and Hill
climbing search algorithm for Wind are used as the control logic for the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The
proposed controller for inverter is intended to keep the load voltage and frequency as constant regardless of the renewable
power generation. Comparative Simulation results with Fuzzy logic controller for inverter show the effectiveness of the
proposed controller.

INTRODUCTION
The industrial revolution brings a significant improvement in the human ability to extract more energy from naturally
available resources such as oil, coal, and gas, because they are cheap, abundant, and easy to harvest but, this way of
harvesting energy in the 21
st
century becomes not efficient due to the expansion of energy demand across the world and the
occurrence of global warming, which claimed that extracting and using vast amounts of fossil fuel are the leading cause of
it. In recent years, renewable energy resources (RES) are becoming the world focus and grabbing the attention of many
governmental organizations. Researchers consider renewable energy sources the promising energy sources amidst the fear
of natural resource depletion and environmental issues such as high levels of CO
2
and other harmful emissions. Some of
the other reasons comprise advantages like abundant availability in nature, eco-friendly and recyclable. Solar and wind
energy are the world’s rapid growing energy resources compare to all renewable energy sources. Distributed Generation
(DG) is a replacement for centralized power generation plants. Along with the use of DGs, by adding Battery Energy
Storage (BES) the reliability of RES can be improved. The environmental conditions can change rapidly for example
photovoltaic system is ideal for the places having more illumination levels and wind power system is ideal for locations
having favourable wind flow conditions [3]. It is better way to use the hybrid source power system which is probable to
endorse that hybrid stand-alone electricity generation systems are usually more reliable and less costly than systems that
depend on a single source of energy [2]. The significant characteristic of hybrid power system includes, system reliability,
operational efficiency [1].
