Techno-economical comprehensive study of hybrid wind-solar systems in South India

As India strives for sustainable energy development, this research endeavors to present a holistic approach to address the nation's evolving energy needs. Focusing on the implementation of hybrid wind-solar projects in multiple sites, with a special emphasis on wind turbine design. The primary objective is to conduct a thorough assessment of wind and solar potential in South India, the study follows a meticulous methodology involving technical and economic analyses. Using advanced tools such as WindPro and QGIS, the research identifies optimal sites, conducts wind resource assessments, and designs hybrid wind-solar parks. The integration of wind turbine design adds an extra layer of complexity to the comparative analysis. Key challenges, including the financial condition of power distribution, grid management, and the variable nature of renewable energy production, will be addressed. The research explores innovative solutions and assesses the environmental impact, emphasizing the potential benefits of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability. By implementing a multi-site approach, this study aims to provide a robust comparative analysis between standalone wind turbines and hybrid wind-solar projects. Factors such as energy production efficiency, economic viability, and environmental impact will be scrutinized, offering a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and limitations of each approach.
