Abstract
Due to different concerns, renewable energies stand out as an opportunity for a sustainable future. Wind/Photovoltaic Hybrid Systems are one important type of renewable energy power systems. In order to increase renewable energies integration rate, this chapter proposes a utility interactive grid-connected wind-PV hybrid system with storage batteries. Facing modern electricity industries, the hybrid system considers the dispatch-ability and the quality of its power injection into the grid. The adopted modeling approach has been based on energy exchange considerations taking into account the converters structures. Particular attention has been given to cases where the hybrid system is connected to an unbalanced grid. This chapter develops a new control strategy, which aims to isolate the hybrid system of the adverse impact of the grid fault. The results point out thoroughly the applicability of the proposed control scheme under unbalanced grid conditions.
