Abstract :
In Lebanon, diesel generators are installed to provide electricity when the public electricity is cut off. In fact, a Wind/PV hybrid system can also be used to generate electricity. This paper treats and compare the existing system with a new one containing the old system sources but with different rates and associated to a wind/PV hybrid source. Economic study and comparison between these two types of multisource systems are discussed.
