GRID CONNECTED SYSTEM USING MULTI-LEVEL INVERTER

For the economic growth and social development of the country energy plays a vital role in every aspect. All the traditional energy production methods require non-renewable resources for the change of form of energy. But, if we continue to use non-renewable resources, once and for all they will become extinct for the future generations. Therefore, renewable energy has become an alternative solution for power generation in the day to day life. The energy from renewable sources is clean, eco friendly, efficient and reliable. Renewable energies have been initiated with the wind power and then followed by the solar power. Wind and solar energy are becoming popular owing to abundance, availability and ease of harnessing of the electrical power generation. This project aims to develop a grid connected hybrid power generation System using solar and wind energies on MATLAB/Simulink software. The model is designed based on the availability of solar irradiance, temperature, wind speed and direction.
