Abstract: In response to the escalating global energy crisis, the motivation for this research has been derived from the need for sustainable and efficient energy solutions. A gap in existing renewable energy systems, particularly in terms of stability and efficiency under variable environmental conditions, has been recognized, leading to the introduction of a novel hybrid system that combines photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy. The innovation of this study lies in the methodological approach that has been adopted, integrating dynamic modeling with a sophisticated control mechanism. This mechanism, a blend of model predictive control (MPC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), has been specifically designed to address the fluctuations inherent in PV and wind power sources. The methodology involves a detailed stability analysis using Lyapunov’s theorem, a critical step distinguishing this system from conventional renewable energy solutions. The integration of MPC and PSO, pivotal in enhancing the system’s adaptability and optimizing the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) process, improves control efficiency across key components like the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), rectifier-sourced converter (RSC), and grid-side converter (GSC). Through rigorous MATLAB simulations, the system’s robust response to changing solar irradiance and wind velocities has been demonstrated. The key findings confirm the system’s ability to maintain stable power generation, underscoring its practicality and efficiency in renewable energy integration. Not only has this study filled a crucial gap in renewable energy control systems, but it has also set a precedent for future research in sustainable energy technologies.
