Optimization of the sizing of hybrid PV/wind/battery systems through the integration of multi-input inverters

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The typical architecture for hybrid solar-wind systems normally relies on individual power converters for each energy source, which increases conversion losses and complicates the construction. On the other hand, by permitting unified, synchronized, and autonomous administration of the multiple sources, integrating a multi-input inverter (MII) gives a more logical solution. By exploiting the benefits of the MII to decrease the nominal capacities of the system components, this study tries to optimize the techno-economic sizing of the system using the ESCEA technique. Based on a Saudi Arabian case study, the findings underscore how crucial the conversion design is to the overall effectiveness of the system. An overall cost savings of around 7.7% was achieved by integrating the MII.
