Abstract
Wind and solar energies are among the most important sources of renewable energy. As a result, the development of power generation using wind generators (WG) and photovoltaic (PV) systems has been significantly improved. In this study, considering the potential of the Takestan area in the use of renewable energy, an optimal combination is obtained for the hybrid energy system, using the HOMER software, developed to design and analyze independent network hybrid power plants. The economical evaluation is conducted as well and the systems' environmental impact is studied. The results confirm the proper performance of the proposed hybrid system in supplying the desired consumer load.
