In IECON 2014 - 40th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (pp. 2173–2179). http://doi.org/10.1109/IECON.2014.7048803https://hdl.handle.net/1805/10143This paper introduces a standalone hybrid power generation system consisting of solar and wind power sources and a DC load. A supervisory control unit, designed to execute maximum power point tracking (MPPT), is introduced to maximize the simultaneous energy harvesting from overall power generation under different climatic conditions. Two contingencies are considered and categorized according to the power generation from each energy source, and the load requirement. Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of the controllers and functionality of the maximum power point tracking algorithm in each operating condition for both solar and wind power sources.enPublisher Policymaximum power point trackingwind-solar microgridArticle
