Abstract

This paper deals with an automation platform to perform R&D tasks on the field of management and control over stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems. A laboratory scale wind-photovoltaic-hydrogen prototype acts as test-bed to evaluate different control techniques. A successful application of fuzzy logic is reported. Exergy analysis is carried out to determine the efficiency of the main components from experimental results.
