An MTG-PV hybrid system is a reliable DG-based system because PV is unpredictable non-traditional energy source whereas Mictroturbine is a controllable traditional energy source, which will cancel out each other’s drawbacks. In this paper, a microturbine generation system (MTG) is considered as the backup generation to meet the energy requirements when solar energy is not suffi cient. Main objective of this paper is optimization of Fuel and Cost of grid-connected MTG-PV hybrid system. Analysis of power management and fuel optimization is carried out using the MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Models for Energy Resources) power optimization software by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) is used to optimize the cost of the hybrid system.

An MTG-PV hybrid system is a reliable DG-based system because PV is unpredictable non-traditional energy source whereas Mictroturbine is a controllable traditional energy source, which will cancel out each other’s drawbacks. In this paper, a microturbine generation system (MTG) is considered as the backup generation to meet the energy requirements when solar energy is not suffi cient. Main objective of this paper is optimization of Fuel and Cost of grid-connected MTG-PV hybrid system. Analysis of power management and fuel optimization is carried out using the MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Models for Energy Resources) power optimization software by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) is used to optimize the cost of the hybrid system.
