A Review of Wind - PV Sizing Algorithms and a Case Study

Abstract

In this study, various sizing algorithms developed to size hybrid (wind/PV) renewable energy systems are reviewed as a first step. Then a case study is performed to find optimum size of a small hybrid (wind/PV) system considered to be built at Afyonkarahisar region of Turkey. Finally, size results are presented, optimality of results and accuracy of optimality are discussed.
