dc.description.abstractTanzania has several places which lack the access to grid. These areas can be powered by utilizing hybrid energy systems (HES) such as solar photovoltaic, wind, and biodiesel. However, such a system produces voltage control challenges at the DC bus due to stochastic nature of those sources, if battery is not coupled. Therefore, this paper first proposes a HES that is coupled to a battery. Secondly, it proposes a control that can regulate the three sources of energy such that the DC bus is maintained at 750 V. Simulation results have shown that a conventional proportional and integral controller can achieve DC bus voltage regulation for the system proposed in this paper regardless of irradiance variation, wind speed variation, or the load variation. This type of energy sources is feasible for use in rural arrears of Tanzania.en_US
