ABSTRACT: The demand for electricity power is increasing day by day, which cannot be met
with the satisfied level without non-renewable energy resource. Renewable energy sources
such as wind, solar are universal and ecological. These renewable energy sources are best
options to fulfill the world energy demand, but unpredictable due to natural conditions. The
use of the hybrid solar and wind renewable energy system like will be the best option for the
utilization these available resources. The objective of this research paper is to study the
various aspects of hybrid solar and wind system. The application and different theories related
to the development of hybrid also discussed in this paper.
Keywords: Solar energy, Hybrid system, Wind energy

1. INTRODUCTION

For development of any country energy plays an important role. It is very essential part of
growth & economy of country. Our primary source of generating energy is from coal, oil and
natural gas. As we all know that energy is needed for industrial, agriculture, commercial and
domestic purpose. World’s energy demand is increasing day by day. There are many sources of
generating energy from coal, fossil fuels, oil and other gases [3]. But all these sources are
harmful to the environment so that there are limitations of using these sources and they are
limited. Due to global warming and pollution in environment we need clean energy source. In
today’s world all focus is on Eco green energy, means generating energy without harming
environment. In that case we have option of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, small
hydro & biomass, bio-fuel etc. Renewable energy is having very much potential to achieve
energy demand. But there are also some difficulties occur to use these energy sources, many
research is going on to improve the efficiency of renewable energy source. Because main aim is
to conserve the natural resources, make system to avoid global warming & carbon emission.
Generating energy from renewable source instead of coal or fossil fuel will be cost effective to
the country. If we use this renewable source to generate energy it is predicted that it will reduce
CO2 emission [9]. As mentioned above there are many renewable energy sources but wind &
solar energy is most prominent. Because if we talk about renewable energy source the first
thought is about wind- solar, it is well known source of energy and widely distributed
everywhere. Single source of energy such as wind & PV is not totally reliable due to climate
change or sunshine in night hours or rainy season and wind speed variation [1].
Normally wind & solar energy are separately used to generate power but both are
having some losses. Like our environment is changes every day the climate changes affect these
systems, solar radiations are not consistent and wind speed varies every time so it affect the

system & its performance. Whatever cost require for installing single system it will reduced up to
some extent in this combine hybrid system. So instead of using single system, if we combine
these two it will help each other to overcome losses. Like when sunshine hour’s solar PV system
will generate electricity and wind turbine system will extract energy from wind source. When
wind conditions are not strong enough to produce power that time its have backup to fulfill load
demand & that will generate from the solar system. For more convenience of hybrid wind-solar
system many researcher have used different combinations to make system more reliable. They
used combination of wind-solar and other sources like diesel/wind/PV, wind/diesel, and
PV/diesel hybrid system [12].
There are some basic steps which have to follow for design and planning of hybrid system.

2. HYBRID WIND-SOLAR POWER SYSTEM

This system is combination of wind energy and solar energy, used to generate power from
each other. Hybrid system is having advantage than system those which are totally depend on
single source of energy. Researchers have very tough task to maximize the total energy
output from the system with lower cost & reliability [8]. Generally wind-solar hybrid power
system consists of wind turbines, photovoltaic array, controller and storage battery. Wind

turbines is used to convert wind energy into mechanical energy and then into electric energy.
Whatever electric energy is generating from this system is alternate & unstable. So some
controlling units or inverters are used to make it continuous and store into battery. This
energy utilize for domestic purpose or other. Photovoltaic array having solar panels through
series or parallel, converts solar energy into electrical energy. This energy is in DC form, it is
stored in battery and controller supply power for AC or DC loads. This system having high
daily electricity generation capacity, low fabrication cost, maintenance is low and has other
advantages also [13].

3. REQUIREMENTS OF WIND-SOLAR HYBRID POWER SYSTEM

To develop this system & to investigate performance, modeling and mathematical calculations
have to develop. Different models of hybrid system have covered in literature. Following are the
components from review of literatures:-

3.1 Meteorological data: - Meteorological analysis of the location has to be made for
optimization process. It is important for total utilization of PV/Wind sources. Measuring
solar and wind resources data is main input of the hybrid system. That all data should be
measured hourly, daily and as per weather or climate change.
3.2 Load Demand: - It is necessary part of system to design & analyze. To find out the exact
load demand it is very complicated and difficult to decide. Load variation for different
seasons is not predictable, so system have to design for nearer or more than load demand
to full fill requirements.
3.3 System Configuration: - By studying all data like solar radiation, wind speed and load
demand proper selection of equipments have to be made. But sizing of system will be
according to the environmental conditions. Because producing power from solar-wind is
depend upon the location which is to be selected.

4. LITERATURE STUDY ON THE HRES SYSTEM

The utilization of hybrid solar wind is necessity for the development of the country. The different
researches were carried out on the development and performance assessment of the solar and
wind hybrid system. Makbul A.M. Ramli [2] et.al, presented case study model on the hybrid
solar and wind system on the techno-economic energy analysis for in Saudi Arabia. The study is
carried out for economic production for the electric using the hybrid system; the different
parameters are taken into consideration for economic production. Vikas Khare [3] et.al,
presented the review on the HRES. The presented research concentrated on the different issues
related with HRES such as optimum sizing, feasibility analysis, modeling, control aspects and
reliability. Binayak Bhandari [4] et.al, in this paper author differentiates power produced from
both the photovoltaic (pv) and wind turbine base on weather conditions. They found that by
using storage system for backup we can improve the system and make it more convenient.

According to that they apply various optimization techniques for hybrid system & make
component specifications according to that. Again they focus on the present scenario of
environmental crises. Renu Sharma [5] et.al, this paper main focus is on rural development in
India by using separate hybrid system. They study combinations of hybrid system for generating
power. By calculating load demand for rural villages, load is divided into phase on that basis
further analysis is done. Getachew Bekele [6] et.al, design the hybrid wind and photovoltaic
power generation system for the Ethiopian remote area. The research studies design the system
for basic electrification requirement. The data for the study collected from national agency. The
simulation of that hybrid system is analyzed by using the HOMER software. The results of the
study concluded with satisfied working of the system and the shortage of electricity is covered
up to 20%. Y.M.Irwan [7] et.al, Asserted the new techniques in Perlis Malaysia for hybrid power
generation. The power generation form the wind is used for cooling of the PV module. The
combination of Savinious and Darrieus is used with PV module. The new approach for hybrid
system design can improve the performance. Mohammed Gwani [8] et.al, this system is used for
energy generation using hybrid solar-wind but this is combination of vertical axis wind turbine
with omni directional guide vanes (ODGV). Author design ODGV to get maximum power
output from wind energy which works on venturi effect. By using this combination in hybrid
system, they successfully improved power output of the system. Power generated from this
system used for lightning street lights and other appliances. Prabhakant [9] et.al, Developed the
optimized techniques for hybrid solar and wind power generation in remote areas. This presented
study associated with saving of coal and carbon production during the power generation. Yahia
Bouzelata [10] et.al, Explored about the optimal design and performance in the hybrid solar and
wind energy system. The Doubly fed induction generator used for generation of electricity with
WECS. The results of the study concluded that the used power electronics for electricity
generation improved the power quality. Palash Jain [11] et.al, Discussed on the performance
prediction and fundamental of small scale VAWT for blade pitching during variable amplitude.
The different design issues were studied and concluded that the maximum from turbine is due
wide ranges of wind speed and tip speed ratio and amplitude of blade pitching varied with wind
speed and tip speed ratio. Sunanda Sinha [12] et.al, presented the prospects for installation of
micro wind and PV hybrid system in the Western Himalayas region. The analysis of the hybrid
system is carried out on the basis data available from NASA and ANN predicted data, measured
data for Hamirpur and estimated data for eleven locations of Himachal Pradesh.

5. CONCLUSION
