In this work, a hybrid microgrid framework was created with the assistance of a photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) generator. Additionally, bidirectional control mechanisms were implemented where an AC system was integrated with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based WT and a DC system was integrated with a sliding mode algorithm controlled maximum power point tracker (MPPT)-integrated PV system. The wind and PV interconnected microgrid system was mathematically modeled for steady-state conditions. This hybrid microgrid model was simulated using the MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. Optimal load management strategy was performed on a chosen hybrid microgrid system. Various case studies pertaining to connection and disconnection of sources and loads were performed on the test system. The outcomes establish that the system can be kept up in a steady-state condition under the recommended control plans when the network is changed, starting with one working condition then onto the next
