The main aim of this paper is to introduce a framework for the design and modelling of a photovoltaic (PV)-wind hybrid system and its control strategies. The purpose of these control techniques is to regulate continuous changes in the operational requirements of the hybrid system;currently, in power system networks, the distribution of energy plays a major role in maintaining power reliability in distribution systems. In this study, the proposed hybrid system was incorporated with a combined PV and wind energy system. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods have been proposed to achieve maximum efficiency from the designed system. In addition, this study focused on improving the stability of the hybrid system. To improve the power quality and transient stability of the proposed system, we introduce a novel control strategy called the distributed power flow controller (DPFC) implementation with an optimization technique called the lion optimization algorithm(LOA)technique. This LOA control technique was developed for the first time in the application of a DPFC controller in a grid-connected system. The control technique was developed using signals from the system parameters, that is, voltage and current. To tune these parameters, this study used fuzzy logic and lion optimization techniques. The proposed system with controllers was tested in MATLAB/Simulink and the results were compared.
