Abstract

In this paper, we are trying to find the conditions in India in order to develop a combined wind/hydro power plant in the areas where they are easily available. India has a great wind potential but the existing installed wind power cannot be fully absorbed. Moreover, the cost of electricity is very high and the operation of conventional plants is polluting the environment and it is expensive too. The large wind farms help to increase the stability problems when they are connected to the grid. In this research work, a combined wind-hydro power system has been developed aiming to produce low cost electricity and in increasing the penetration of renewable energy source in India. Additionally, the design and performance analysis is performed and the results have found of this hybrid system using MATLAB/Simulink.
