Over the past few years there has been enormous increase in the consumption of the Electrical Energy, major part of which is extracted from the conventional way of Power Generation using fossil fuels, due to which the resource of the fossil fuels are draining, results of the some surveys shows that the fossil fuel reserves may last only few decades. Hence utilization of the energy generated from the Renewable Energy resources like Solar, Wind, Bio-Mass, etc. has to be encouraged to save the atmosphere and as an alternative fuel for the energy generation. Among the Renewable Energy resources Solar and Wind power generation have been increasing significantly due to the availability of the resources, ease of the generation, etc. so in this study we proposed a Hybrid Energy System which combines both the Solar Power and Wind power Generation . A control strategy has been proposed to track the operating point at which maximum power can be extracted from the Solar PV system and Wind Turbine Generator under certain environmental conditions. The detailed description of the entire hybrid system had been given along with the comprehensive simulation results. A software model is developed in Matlab/ Simulink.
