Abstract

This paper deals with the design and conception of an embedded power source using supercapacitors (SCs) which are charged by means of solar panels and having a Unit Power Factor (UPF) electronic converter supplied by wind generator. These SCs ensure the power supply of an electrical network of 60 kW by using sliding mode principle control. The operating principle of this device and some experimental results, obtained using Labview and National Instrument, are presented.
