ABSTRACT
This paper deals with power control of a wind and
solar hybrid generation system for interconnection
operation with electric distribution system. Power
control strategy is to extract the maximum energy
available from varying condition of wind speed and
solar irradiance while maintaining power quality at a
satisfactory level. In order to capture the maximum
power, variable speed control is employed for wind
turbine and maximum power point tracking is applied
for photovoltaic system. The grid interface inverter
transfers the energy drawn from the wind turbine and
PV array into the grid by keeping common dc voltage
constant. To ensure safety these inverters automatically
shut down in the event of : High/Low grid AC-voltage;
High/Low grid frequency; Grid Failure; or Inverter
malfunction. Modeling and simulation study on the
entire control scheme is carried out using a power
system transient analysis tool, Matlab Simulink.
The simulation results show the control performance
and dynamic behavior of the wind/PV system.

1 INTRODUCTION
Advances in wind turbine and photovoltaic
generation technologies have brought opportunities for utilizing wind and solar resources for electric power generation. They have unpredictable random behaviors. However, some of them, like solar radiation and wind speed, have complementary profiles [1, 2].
The Wind/solar complementary power supply system is a reasonable power supply which makes good use of wind and solar energy. This system can not only provide a bargain of low cost and high
dependability for some region where power transmission is not convenient such as frontier defenses and sentry, relay stations of communication, a farming or pasturing area and so on, but also inaugurate a new area which resolve the crisis of energy sources and environment pollution.
It is very difficult to make use of the solar and wind energy all weather just through solar system or wind system individually, for the restriction of time and region. So a system that is based on renewable resources but at the same time reliable is necessary and wind/solar hybrid system with battery storage can meet this requirement.

3.4 MPPT Control Strategy For Wind Turbine
System
According to the operation theory of wind
turbine, the maximum output power of wind generator depends on the optimal tip speed ratio
opt . In terms of this, the MPPT is controlled to
track the maximum power of the wind turbine and the battery charging voltage in such a way [4]:

4.1 Maximum Power Point Tracking
Incremental conductance method has been
implemented in this study. If the array is operating at voltage V and current I, the power generation is P=VI, at the maximum power point, dP/dV should be zero and the sign of dP/dV may be identified by equation (24). Increase or decrease in the PV array voltage is determined by judging the sign of this equation.

voltage between VA and VB, where VA and VB are the potentials at the points A and B with respect to the neutral potential (VN=0) [14, 15].

6.5 LC Filter
A system with forced commutation like MLI or
other control techniques of voltage source inverter
generates chopping harmonics. In order to
eliminate these harmonics the insertion of a filter
between the converter and the load, in the majority
of the cases is a low passes band filter. This makes
it possible to carry out the objective.

6.6 Phase looked loop (PLL) The PLL can track the instantaneous network
fundamental voltage phase and find its frequency. Other methods were developed but the majority of them are used only if the voltage signal is purely sinusoidal [16].... The Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is by far the most
technique used to extract the direct fundamental
component voltage phase in the low voltage
electrical supply networks.

7 ELECTRICAL PERTURBATIONS
The electric power is provided in voltage form
constituting mono-phase sinusoidal system with the followings characteristic parameters:
frequency
Voltage magnitude
Wave form
The measurement of these parameters makes it
possible to judge the voltage quality. A
deterioration of the one of them or several at the
same time let’s suppose the presence of an
anomaly in the electrical supply network.
7.1 Protection of Decoupling
A device made up of a protection and a
decoupling body must be installed at the generator output [17]. This device must respond to the design and operation technical specifications for connection with a distribution public network of an electric generating station.
a) Frequency monitoring
The frequency monitoring is achieved using a
PLL, this allows the estimation of the angular frequency from the estimated voltage.This estimated pulsation makes it possible to have the estimated frequency by dividing it by 2 the frequency can be thus supervised. It is compared with two thresholds values corresponding to Hzfest %1 . This frequency must lie between:
thresholdestthreshold fff maxmin
Hzfthreshold 5.050
The monitoring system activates a temporization if a threshold is crossed during more than 0.1s. The inverter operation is stopped and isolated from the network thanks to the control switchgear envisaged for this purpose. If the frequency returns between these thresholds values temporization is given to zero.
b) RMS Voltage network monitoring
It is made in the same manner as that of
frequency. A minimum and maximum threshold is given VVanest %15 .
thresholdanestthreshold VVV maxmin
VVthreshold 33220
The two RMS voltages are measured. It is
necessary that both are below thresholds to start temporization. The same latency time is considered: 0.1 s. This monitoring is necessary for an overvoltage or an under voltage.

Simulation of frequency variation The network frequency undergoes a variation of
(ramp) type. The aim of this simulation is to check the well operation of the block “frequency monitoring” of figure.6.
This variation starts at t = 0.42 s of 50 Hz and attain 50.5 Hz at t = 0.54s as shown in figure.18 (a). The currents and voltages follow the variations which appear insignificant.
After a second at t = 0.64 s, the system activate the switchgear and stops the inverter as shows in figures .18 (b, c). The network currents and voltages then became zero.

Over voltage simulation The aim of this simulation is to show that the
decoupling system detects overvoltage and isolate the inverter from the network. A progressive over voltage starts at t = 0.4s. The maximum threshold voltage is reached at 0.6s as shown in the figure .19 (a). The current reacts since the network voltage increases and thus the power should be transmitted on the network is constant. The networks currents I decrease as shown in the figure.19 (b). The system reacts 0.6 after the voltage maximum threshold was reached. The currents and voltages become null at 0.7s.

In the two simulations cases, of overvoltage and under voltage, it would be desirable to have a faster cutoff time according to the importance of overvoltage or under voltage . This determination could possibly be done by a training algorithm using the techniques of neuro-fuzzy, genetic algorithms, neurons networks or other forms of artificial intelligences.

10 CONCLUSION
Solar power is well known to be an expensive
solution to remote electrification. This cost can be reduced by adding wind turbine generators to reduce the reliance on PV.
In this paper, We have focused on the study of photovoltaic wind production of electrical energy optimization as well as its transfer to the mono-phase electrical network supply through an inverter with minimum possible losses. The adopted approach was to improve the chain various parts point by point. a pv/wind system protection device is implemented i.e. This system is able to react to overvoltage, under voltages and frequency variations. It was subjected to an overvoltage, an under voltage and frequency variation. The system showed good results in each cited case.
The small price difference between the classic solution and the island grid solution is justified by the flexibility and extendibility offered by the SMA system, in particular the addition of additional generation equipment at a later date.
The type of connection of the different components to the system is just as important. The AC coupling with inverter allows we to connect nearly any type of electricity generator and any type of consumer to our system. This makes our system easily extendable on the consumer side as well as on the generator side. Finally, we see that the energy produced by the system remains constant, according to the load with a voltage of (220V/50Hz). This is due to the power stored in the batteries, which will be used to compensate energy lacks and the efficiency of the control strategy we have used.
