The control problem associated to a class of horizontal-axis fixed-pitch variable-speed low-power wind energy conversion systems, working in the partial load region, consisting in the energy conversion maximization, is approached here under the assumption that the wind turbine model and its...

In this paper, size of a PV/wind integrated hybrid energy system with battery storage is optimized under various loads and unit cost of auxiliary energy sources. The optimization is completed by a simulation based optimization procedure, OptQuest, which integrates various heuristic methods. In...
