Abstract:
The optimal sizing for power reliable Wind-PV hybrid system is time consuming and complex due to varying weather conditions and the corresponding system cost .This requires a novel sizing procedure which can able to find number of possible solution .This paper proposes a multi-Objective design procedure using the genetic algorithm (GA) and integer programming with LPSP concept which has the ability to attain the global optimum with relative computational simplicity to minimize system cost and Loss of supply probability.
