Abstract: In order to overcome the intermittence of renewable energy sources, such sources are connected in parallel forming hybrid systems. One of these hybrid systems is presented in this paper aiming to investigate and improve its dynamic performance. The hybrid energy system is composed of photovoltaic (PV) arrays and wind turbine (WT) that drives a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). Both the PV and WT are linked together through a DC-capacitor link. In order to improve the dynamic performance, a particle-swarm optimisation algorithm is implemented to tune the gains of the applied controllers. The obtained optimum gains are then implemented in a simulation model using the Simulink program (MATLAB). Results in the case of optimised gains are compared with initial design results in the relevant literature. Results show that the dynamic performance of the hybrid energy system with PSO is improved in terms of speed and steady-state error.
