Abstract
: The growing penetration of generation systems based on renewable energy in electric power
systems is undeniable. These generation systems have many benefits, but also many challenges from
the technical point of view. One of the biggest problems in the case of solar photovoltaic (PV) and
wind energy is the intermittency of the raw material, thus hybrid generation systems that contain
both sources are being used to complement electric power generation. To analyze the problems
of this type of hybrid generation systems, it is necessary to develop models and test systems that
allows to study their dynamic behavior. Reported in this paper is the implementation of a full hybrid
PV–wind generation system model in a real-time digital simulation platform, and the development
of the electronic converter controls. These controllers were implemented in digital devices (Arduino
Due) and connected to the simulation platform to test their performance in real-time. In addition,
the procedure followed for the development and implementation of the controllers is presented.
The proposed test system can be used in renewable energy integration studies and the development
of new control strategies.
