Hybrid electric
generation systems combine
photovoltaic solar system and wind
generator. These type of systems
utilize a combination of solar and
wind energy as the wind compensates
for the lack of sunshine, and the
photovoltaic array work when the
wind is calm. The system is
recommended in the areas where the
number of sunshine hours are
limited.
The component of
hybrid system are typical of those
of the photovoltaic or the wind
systems. It comprises the
electricity generating component,
which contains a PV array and wind
generator, charge controller,
batteries bank, and inverter with
all necessary switches and circuit
breakers.
