In the recent era, distributed generation, micro grid, and smart grid has gained the attention and has become an important area of research to find solutions to overcome the difficulties raised due to energy crisis. Renewable energies derived from natural sources that are renewed continually and have various forms. Electricity and heat obtained from solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, biomass, and tidal resources are derived from renewable resources. The common inherent drawbacks of renewable energy are unpredictable and intermittent in nature. Hybridizing renewable energy system utilizes multiple energy sources, usually wind and solar power. This paper demonstrates a new system configuration for a hybrid wind and photovoltaic systems. This configuration permits the two sources to fulfill the load demand either separately or simultaneously based on availability. The converter is a composite of CUK and SEPIC converter called CUK-SEPIC fused converter for stand-alone system. The other converter is a combination of CUK and Buck converter called CUK-Buck fused converter for rural telephony system.
