Abstract—One of the primary needs for socio-economic development in any nation in the world is the provision of reliable electricity supply systems with lower carbon footprint levels. The purpose of this work is the development of a Solar-Wind hybrid Power system that harnesses the renewable energies in Sun and Wind to generate electricity. The detailed measurement and analysis of the data for a period of one month is taken for conclusions in this paper. The results show that the site is abundant in renewable energy and the hybrid nature increases the reliability and reduces the dependence on one single source.
Index Terms—Battery, charge controller, hybrid, photovoltaic cell, power, solar, wind.
