Feasibility Study of Solar-Wind Based Standalone Hybrid System for Application in Ethiopia

Abstract

In this regard; this study investigates the possibility of providing electricity from solar/wind based hybrid standalone system for remotely located people detached off the main grid line. Within the hybrid system setup PV panels; wind turbines; a bank of batteries and for a backup diesel generator is included. The wind potential of the area has been assessed in a previously published article. The solar potential has also been investigated in another article awaiting publication. It is based on the findings of the solar and the wind energy potential that this study is carried out.
