Abstract
An optimization procedure of a hybrid photovoltaic wind energy system is pr esented which can be used to satisfy the requirements of a given load distr ibution. An analysis is applied to satisfy a constant load of 5 kW required for cathodic protection in offshore platforms. The results show that the o ptimal solar/wind ratio that will achieve the minimum capital cost is 70%. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
