The increasing reliance on renewable energy has driven the development of hybrid photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine systems. This study aims to model and simulate a hybrid PV-Wind system using MATLAB/SIMULINK to evaluate its performance and efficiency under varying environmental conditions. The developed model includes PV panels, wind turbines, power converters, and an inverter with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid system can generate stable power output and effectively adapt to solar irradiance and wind speed fluctuations. The system achieved an overall energy efficiency of 88%, with power quality metrics indicating reduced total harmonic distortion to below 5%. Additionally, implementing an LC filter in the inverter enhances power quality, producing a more sinusoidal AC voltage with a THD of 3.5%. This study confirms that optimized PV-Wind systems provide a reliable and sustainable solution for electricity generation and significantly improve power quality and efficiency in various operational scenarios. ©2025 The authors.
