Optimized Control and Sizing of Standalone PV-wind Energy Conversion System

This paper presents an advanced optimization method for a PV-Wind energy conversion system. This method is based on the use of an advanced control strategies of the DC-DC and AC-DC regulator in PV-Wind standalone system. Within this topology a fuzzy logic control is applied to extract the maximum power point of the photovoltaic generator (PVG) and the wind generator (WG). Consequently an optimal sizing of the system by reducing their total cost is designed.
