Abstract

This paper presents a concise review of solar (photovoltaic (PV)) and wind (horizontal axis) energy systems, focusing on their modeling and simulation using MATLAB)/Simulink. The advantages, disadvantages, strengths, and weaknesses of each system are discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of their characteristics. The review explores the mathematical modeling approaches for PV cells and modules specific for single diode model, as well as horizontal-axis wind turbine systems, highlighting the key equations and parameters involved. Furthermore, the paper discusses the emerging trend of hybrid solar-wind energy systems and their potential for optimizing power output, efficiency, and reliability. The review emphasizes the importance of accurate modeling based on fundamental knowledge, which serves as a practical implication for readers to understand the mechanism. Future research directions and challenges in the field of renewable energy modeling and simulation are also outlined. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and decision-makers involved in the development and implementation of solar and wind energy systems.
