Abstract

Wind energy and solar energy are two of the most reliable energy sources on earth while also being environmentally safe and sufficient. The search for more reliable sources has brought the two energy sources together in areas that alone they would be insufficient. For a solar-wind hybrid system, the economic efficiency is strictly dependent on both resources combined to be efficient no matter the time or the location. The strength of one source can overcome the weakness of the other which makes this design so useful around most areas of the world.
