Abstract : This paper illustrates the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECs) study and its designing. For this power generation process, overall system requires a Wind Turbine generator (WTG) and here a PMSG based Wind Turbine is usedamong different types of wind turbine generators. DC TO DC converter topologies (boost and bidirectional converters) connection is required in the Wind Energy Conversion systems as there are changes in the wind i.e., with variable wind speed and the load. The other way of generating electricity is throughthe solar array charging the battery, and the energy from the battery comes into picture when there is less wind or probably no wind i.e., at zero wind speed. The paper deals with powergeneration using both the Wind Turbine (WECS) and also a battery getting charged through the Solar Array. The major aim of the proposed work is to coordinate control techniques among system components like Wind Turbine Generator, DC TO DC converter topologies, battery controller etc. under various wind speeds. The MPPT technique is also employed to obtain maximum power and maintaining constant output DC voltage. The propounded work has been simulated and modeled with the help of MATLAB - SIMULINK software.
