Design and Analysis of a Hybrid Solar-Wind Energy System Using CUK & SEPIC Converters for Grid Connected Inverter Application

Abstract

This paper introduces design and analysis of a hybrid solar-wind energy system using CUK and SEPIC converters. This design lets two sources supply the load individually or simultaneously depending on the availability of the energy sources. The proposed design deploys a switch mode CUK converter and a switch mode SEPIC converter. The designed CUK and SEPIC converters have been deployed to run a single-phase full-bridge grid connected inverter for residential application. The proposed design has been mathematically modeled which has been simulated via PSIM software as well and finally the results have been presented to confirm the effectiveness of this hybrid system.
