Simulation and Hardware Implementation of FPGA Based Controller for Hybrid Power System

Fossil fuels leave behind harmful by-products upon combustion, thereby it causes a lot of pollution. Renewable energy is gaining more importance these days. But the problem with the renewable energy systems is its intermittent availability. Hybrid power system which combines various renewable sources is the next available option. This paper discusses the scheme of Solar-Wind Hybrid power system using multi-input power converter topology. Simulations are carried out using MATLAB/ SIMULNK. Charge controllers are implemented with MPPT algorithm. The hardware implementation of the controller is done using FPGA controllers. The experimental details are given and the results are discussed. 
