Wind Solar Hybrid System

Introduction

Wind solar hybrid system may be installed at wind  potential areas having annual average wind speed of about 15 kmph (4.17 m/s) at 20 m height. Both solar & wind are supplementary in nature. The wind component of the hybrid system has to be at least 60% of the total capacity. This generates a max of 5 units of usable energy per day. During monsoon when solar energy is practically zero the energy from wind offsets the shortfall to a great extent.  The intermittence energy from wind is also advantageous to battery charging, by extending battery life. Cost of the hybrid system is also cheaper by 40% to 50% than the pure solar system. The system can be installed at the roof top and the area required for the installation of solar panel will be 8 sq.m/kw. The cost of 1 KW hybrid system would be approximately around Rs.2. lakhs.
