Hybrid Renewable Energy System Investigation Based on Power Converters Losses

Given the renewable sources complementarity, hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) have been mostly used to address the limitations of single renewable source in terms of stability and reliability. In this regards many researches have been conducted to improve the hybrid efficiency. The aim of this work is to perform a comparative study of HRES architectures based on a qualitative investigation of the power converters efficiency used in each topology. Numerical application is performed based on technical features of converters in order to distinguish the best HRES configuration.
