Design and Simulation of Smart Grid Based on Solar Photovoltaic and Wind Turbine Plants

The objective of this paper is to design a smart grid of an ordinary plant with two renewable resources (solar PV and wind turbine) plants.The burnout of fossil fuels globally has created a hasty need for alternative energy sources to meet current energy demands.To address this issue, a hybrid power system has been developed, which combines clean energy sources, such as solar PV and wind, with fossil fuel generators, power conditioning systems and energy storage systems.This hybrid system adduces higher efficiency, more flexibility in environmental and planning benefits compared to relying solely on diesel generators.However, employing solar and wind energy has the disadvantage that they are erratic and dependent on climatic and meteorological variations, which may not coincide with the timing of energy need.This not only has an influence on the system's functionality but also causes batteries to be disposed of too soon.The results illustrated the root mean square (r.m.s) power behaviour over a 24 hour each day in May, 2020 according to the weather climate in Mosul city.Finally, it has been confessed that the individual power generated either by solar PV or by wind turbine was enough to supply the load.
