This paper introduces a deterministic algorithm applied to the automatic switchover to the most suitable among two renewable power sources, namely photovoltaic and wind, aiming at achieving optimal usage of these supplies while respecting simplicity and affordability criteria. The approach to the algorithm’s decision making is conventional logic based on power generation conditions. The proposed algorithm successfully copes with the bouncing problem that may occur when a choice based on simple comparison of the power values from the sources is adopted.
