Stability and convergence of the closed loop system are proved using Lyapunov stability theory, numerical simulation is carried out on a typical 3kW PMSG based wind turbine and the results are compared with those found in previous works.

The current-controlled voltage source inverter tasks are: Tracking the PVG maximum power point. Injecting the maximum power into a three phase electrical network with unit power factor. The totality of the produced energy by the PVG has to be injected in the network, whereas the electricity requirement for domestic use has to be withdrawn from the network supply .This is in order to avoid batteries storage problems .As well as the realization of a decoupling system which can protect the generator from perturbations that can reach the electrical network supply.

The connection of a generation system to the utility grid requires a robust phase locked loop (PLL) and continuous detection of utility grid status (such as outage, over-/under-voltage and over-/under frequency).The sizing of this system is mainly based on the price quality factor of the extracted energy. In this design each system is controlled individually to operate in its maximum power point (MPPT). The simulation results and the sensibility analysis show that our generator is able to exploit the complementarity between the two energy sources (wind/ PV) and provides a reliable energy production. It is found that, to obtain grid voltage and grid current at unity power factor, the grid side parameters have to be tuned properly by designing the filter and proper modulation scheme for grid inverter interface.

First, a short review of the different sizing programs is given after, a detailed sizing methodology for PV–Wind systems is presented; finally, new software for sizing such systems is conceived. This computer program is building around fundamentals photovoltaic and wind generators models, storage capacity model, Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP) algorithm and a proposed techno-economic algorithm to determine the system that would guarantee a reliable energy supply with a lowest investment.
