Case study regarding the configuration of a stand alone hybrid system for electricity production

Abstract

Even if electricity is currently accessible in most of the country, there are still some isolated areas without access to the national power grid. In this case, a solution can be the implementation of some systems that produce electricity using the available resources on site such as solar or wind power. Thus, besides providing the necessary energy it complies with the European directive on the use of clean energy sources. But due to the fact that solar and wind power are not uniform and constant is recommended to use both of them in a hybrid system. In this paper, the authors present a case study on the configuration of an autonomous solar-wind hybrid system that supplies electricity to a consumer from rural areas located in different wind regions.
