Abstract : The increasing integration of off-grid energy sources in the utility load has ended up resulting in elevated standards regarding power quality, voltage stabilisation purposes, and efficient energy use. The electrical network Wind and solar energy have been considered to be among the most reliable renewable energy sources. However, the self-sufficient operation of either photovoltaic or wind energy systems does not offer a highly consistent source of electricity production owing to the unpredictability of the wind and solar irradiance availability. As a result of this, a variety of solar and wind power generation systems have the ability to produce a very reliable and promising electrical supply. In the present study, a hybrid wind and photovoltaic panels system model has been provided. This specific type of technology possesses plenty of possibilities for its users from afar. This particular kind of technology is highly beneficial in inaccessible or offshore locations where integrating with the grid is not very cost-effective. Nevertheless, integrating power electronics to dissipated generation (DG) systems brings substantial issues with power quality, which include reactive power adjustment and harmonic development, which throws off the system for power distribution. The present study proposes a simulation framework for a hybrid wind-photovoltaic generation system. The system's efficiency in gridconnected mode is assessed. Calculations of total harmonic distortion (THD) at various speeds of wind were used for assessing the wind-SPV hybrid system's power quality. This hybrid system's power quality has been enhanced owing to its employing of STATCOM.
