Wind power is presently one of the most rapidly increasing renewable energy sources. As a result of the wind power being an uncontrollable resource, various problems regarding power quality and protection issues generate. The solid-state transformer (SST) has been found to be useful in integration of different distributed energy sources as well as wind power in the distribution grid with multiple functionalities. A wind-solar hybrid system using solid state transformer (SST) for reactive power compensation to achieve power quality as per IEC standards. The proposed hybrid system using SST can effectively suppress the voltage fluctuation. This work proposes a new modelling approach of a combined Photovoltaic and Wind power system. This paper proposes a configuration that combines the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbine and SST operation in the presence of MATLAB/SIMULINK Software.

I. INTRODUCTIONWith the random increment of power demand, the amount of renewable energy integration into the conventional grid is increasing day by day. The interest in renewable sources of energy has increase, considerably. They represent a potential solution to mitigate environmental issues and reduce the dependence on traditional sources of energy for electrical generation [1][2][3][4]. The need of technology for adapting these non-traditional types of energy into the system has motivated the development of new generation power electronics converters. The future homes will make use of power converters to integrate all the available sources of electrical energy, including renewables as wind turbine (WT) and PV. Photovoltaic's (PV)is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic power generation employs solar panels composed of a number of solar cells containing a photovoltaic material. Photovoltaic are best known as a method for generating electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into a flow of electrons [5]. Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) constitute a mainstream power technology that is largely under exploited. The main differences in WECS technology are in electrical design and control [6]. At present, typically two types of WECS for large wind turbines exists. The first one is a variable speed WECS that allows variable speed operation over a large, but still restricted, range. This type of WECS mainly uses a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) with the stator windings connected directly to the three phase constant -frequency grid and the rotor windings connected to a partial scale back to back converter. A multi stage gear box is necessary in this drive [7][8][9]. This type of WECS offer high controllability, smoother grid connection, maximum power extraction and reactive power compensation using bac...
