Abstract
The increasing global demand for clean and sustainable energy has intensified the need for innovative solutions that harness renewable resources. This project explores the design and implementation of hybrid electricity generation system that integrates wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. By combining these two complementary energy sources gives an efficient means of power generation, particularly in regions with variable weather conditions. The wind turbine component captures kinetic energy from wind currents, while the solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy. Together, they form a synergistic system capable of reducing dependence on fossil fuels, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing energy security. The project also examines key technical aspects such as system configuration, energy storage, power conversion, and grid integration. Through simulation and analysis, the study demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of hybrid renewable energy system in meeting electricity demands sustainably.
