Providing electric power to rural areas is a challenging issue for power system engineers due to their minimum total load demand. This paper provides an efficient method to provide Electrical Power to rural areas through a Grid connected Solar PV-Wind-Fuel cell hybrid system. Four fuel cells are connected in series for obtaining maximum value of power. Solar and Wind Power are continuously monitored and controlled using Perturbation and Observation (P&O) Algorithm. Along with this the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator(PMSG) which is used to drive the wind turbine. The Machine side Voltage Source controller(MVSC) which uses a composite sliding mode control to the wind speed and reduce the disturbance generated in the generator. A DC-DC boost converter is used for all the three types of generation i.e, Solar PV, Wind and Fuel cell. A Proportional-Integral (PI) Controller is used to control the Generated Voltage. The excessive generated voltage is sent to the Grid and used for Distributed Generation purposes. At the last, the Simulation results of each source are compared with the Hybrid Model.
