Abstract

This paper deals with the operation of a hybrid wind/hydro power system aiming at producing low cost electricity. A specific application on the island of Ikaria in Greece is analysed and typical results are presented and compared to the results produced from a simulation program. The simulation program, which is based on the stochastic behaviour of the weather conditions, uses as input data the monthly wind-speed distribution and, to a smaller extent, which is determined from the use of an appropriate weighting factor, the rate of rain water which is stored in the hydro reservoir. Useful conclusions were drawn regarding the feasibility of these applications in Greek islands and the expected electric energy saving.
