off-grid wind-solar PV hybrid system powering the cathodic
protection unit is simulated and analyzed using
MATLAB/SIMULINK. Furthermore, the performance
simulation for the battery energy storage system with PV-wind hybrid energy system under variable solar irradiance
and wind speed respectively is also conducted. The hybrid
system consists of a wind turbine which uses a permanent
magnet synchronous generator driven directly from the
turbine, a PV array and a battery bank. The simulated
results reflect that the designed hybrid system of such
capacity can adequately supply a cathodic protection unit
with no power shortage at different weather conditions.
