This paper concentrates on the implementation and operation of a three-port hybrid, Grid/Photovoltaic stand alone system with fuzzy energy management. Hybrid energy system is an excellent solution for electrification for industrial and remote rural areas. Hybrid Grid/PV systems are highly efficient and require very low maintenance. An average model of a hybrid Grid-photovoltaic generating system has been presented. The main objective is to provide 24 hrs demand quality power in industrial area. The method of investigation concerns with the definition of the system topology, interconnection of the various sources with maximum energy transfer, fuzzy control and energy management. The proposed energy management strategy was simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. The various models with the output waveforms are represented and discussed. The proposed system has very high accuracy and efficient operation which leads to a reduced operating cost.
