Research and development of the testbed for hybrid power generation system

This paper proposes a testbed of hybrid power generating system which consists of a laboratory set-up wind turbine emulator, PV array and lead-acid battery bank. All the generating subsystem, energy storage system and DC/AC loads are connected on a voltage uniformed DC bus. A monitoring system is included to manage the produced energy and coordinated the power generating units and storage subsystem. This article elaborates the hardware platform architecture and software development. Test results of this testbed are demonstrated in the end of the article.
