A DEMONSTRATIVE STUDY FOR THE WIND AND SOLAR HYBRID POWER-SYSTEM

In March 1995, a small scale wind and solar hybrid power system was in stalled at Ashikaga Institute of Technology. Until now, the authors ha ve acquired the data of the output of the hybrid power giant along wit h wind speed, wind direction, and the solar radiation, in order to dem onstrate a complementary relationship between solar energy and wind en ergy. After nine months operation of the system, the authors confirmed that there exists a complementary relationship between solar energy a nd wind energy. We also found, however, that the power output by wind does not have much prospect compared to that by solar cell especially in summer season in Ashikaga area.
