For on-grid applications, combining wind and solar can also offer advantages. One primary benefit is grid stability. Fluctuations in renewable energy supply can be problematic for maintaining a stable, consistent energy supply on the grid. The hybrid system can help mitigate this issue by providing a more constant power output.
However, such systems mitigate the intermittency issues inherent to individual renewable sources, enhancing the overall reliability and stability of energy generation. Solar power exhibits peak output during daylight hours, while wind power can be harnessed even during periods of reduced solar availability .
Wind power systems harness the kinetic energy of moving air to generate electricity, offering a sustainable and renewable source of energy. Wind turbines (WT), the primary components of these systems, consist of blades that capture wind energy and spin a rotor connected to a generator, producing electrical power through electromagnetic induction.
Unlike fossil fuels, they do not offer a constant supply; wind patterns and solar irradiance are subject to daily and seasonal variations. For example, solar energy conversion can fluctuate by up to 25 % due to cloud cover, while wind energy can see similar fluctuations depending on wind speeds .
