This document proposes a study to investigate using a standalone solar/wind hybrid power system with battery storage and a diesel generator as backup for a poultry farm. The farm is located in an area where extending the electric grid would not be cost-effective. The study will design a hybrid system configuration based on the farm's load profile, available solar radiation, and wind speeds. It will analyze the farm and household loads, and compare the cost of the hybrid system to extending the grid connection. Diesel and batteries will provide backup power on cloudy or still days to ensure uninterrupted supply from the solar and wind sources. The objectives are to minimize storage needs and reduce system costs through combining solar and wind power in a hybrid

1. ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to investigate the application of standalone solar / Wind hybrid
system with diesel generator and battery bank as a backup for poultry farm at Chafe Sadi where
grid extension is not cost effective due to the infrastructure of the village. The infrastructure of
Chafe Sadi and the corresponding system cost are the main concerns for designing the hybrid
power generation systems in this paper. The advantages of hybrid power system that combines
both wind and PV power is to minimize the storage requirements and hence system costs are
reduced. The hybrid system consists of Photovoltaic panel; wind turbine; diesel generator; a bank
of batteries and an inverter. In this paper system configuration of the hybrid will be designed
based on the farm load, solar radiation, and wind speed at Chafe Sadi. Load analysis of the farm
and the households (voltage and current) will be studied in this paper. Diesel generator and lead
acid batteries are used as a backup and energy storage for the solar / wind hybrid system to
bridge the period of cloudy and non windy days. For optimization the comparative cost analysis
of grid line extension energy source with standalone solar / wind hybrid system will be studied in
detail.
Keywords: Optimization, solar / wind hybrid System, inverter, Cost of Energy.
