Abstract: There is an increasing demand for power production day by day all over the globe; thus, hybrid frameworks have an essential role in producing sufficient power for the desirable load due to increasing power demand. The proposed hybrid renewable energy (HRE) systems are used to provide power in different areas to conquer the intermittence of wind and solar resources. The HRE system incorporates more than one renewable energy (RE) system. In this research article, the optimum power generation of different combinations of RE using different Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control methods is presented. The Fuel Cell (FC), FC–Photovoltaic (PV), FC–Wind (W), and FC–PV–W systems are developed to examine different MPPT controllers. The results show that the FC–PV–W HRE system produces the maximum power as compared to the FC, FC–PV, and FC–W systems. The FC–PV–W HRE system produces increased power compared to 94.24% from the FC system, 37.17% from the FC–PV hybrid system, and 15.8% from the FC–W hybrid framework with a Perturb and Observe (P&O) controller and, similarly, 74.57% from the FC system, 10.3% from the FC-PV hybrid system, and 31.64% from the FC-W hybrid system using a fuzzy logic (FL) controller, indicating that the best combination is the FC-PV-W hybrid system using an FL controller, which is useful for maximum power generation with reduced oscillations.
