Modelling and Simulation of Intellegent Hybrid Power System

Energy is the fuel for growth of the world. An increased access to electricity enhances opportunities for industrial development and improves health and education. Renewable energies (RE) have a large potential to maintain sustainable energy. Hybrid renewable energy systems, is a system that combines more than one renewable energy technology. The hybrid of photovoltaics and wind turbine, is one of the most promising applications of renewable energy technologies in remote areas. Ethiopia is one of the developing countries in which most parts of the country are rural areas. They do not have electrical distribution line. One of the rural areas is villages found around Wonji-Shoa Sugar Factory. Since there is no enough water in the area, people are suffered from absence of water and food. The objective of this book is to design and model a fuzzy logic based solar/wind power for irrigation system in case of Wonji-Shoa villages. In this book a wind and solar energy potential assessment has been done using the data obtained from NMA. Beside to PV system, wind turbine, converters, diesel generators are modeled and simulated on MATLAB software.
