Abstract

WERNER-DE DIOS-ORTEGA, Antonio  and  ERRASTI-CABRERA, Michel. Design by simulation of a PV-Wind hybrid system for an isolated dairy farm in Cuba. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.2, pp.123-131. ISSN 1815-5944.

In this article a design by simulation of a wind-photovoltaic hybrid system for an off-grid dairy in Cuba was made. The meteorological variables used were measured during one year. These are the starting point for the simulation using the software HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable). As a result of the simulation HOMER displays a table of results with the combination of all possible variants, sorted using the initial capital (Initial Capital). Combining technical and economic criteria as the cost of energy and the unmet load a variant was selected that best fits to the dairy needs.

Keywords : hybrid wind-photovoltaic; simulation; rural electrification.
