Background: Hybrid systems combining solar and wind power are innovative solutions to address the growing demand for renewable energy. These systems utilize the complementary nature of solar and wind energy to ensure a continuous and reliable power supply. Solar panels harness sunlight during the day, while wind turbines generate electricity from wind, often more prevalent at night or during cloudy conditions. By integrating these two sources, hybrid systems reduce dependency on fossil fuels, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and provide sustainable energy solutions for remote or off-grid areas.
Methodology: A model hardware setup for the purpose can be done for further research. The basic components can be collected and setup. For further research a mathematical model can be proposed and validated using a set of data. The present study is a theoretical overview of the concept of hybrid systems. All the basic components have been studied along with the theory of the underlying principles of solar and wind power.
Conclusion: This will provide a sustainable and continuous power solution from the existing components at a nominal cost. A large-scale setup can be done and on optimization of the parameters, it can provide the ideal output. It will not only reduce the dependency on present systems moving towards depletion but also create a better and sustainable system which can be improved with future technology, both hardware and software. Thus, we can depend on these sources of energy for a long time to come and also help the future generations to use the systems for power generation.
