Good prospects of PV–wind hybrid systems are found in western Himalayan Indian state.
A 6 kWp roof mounted PV–micro wind hybrid system at Hamirpur location is studied.
Optimum PV–wind hybrid system configurations are determined for 12 locations in the region.
Comparative analysis of hybrid systems is carried out using ANN, NASA and measured data.
Methodology can be used for assessing the potential of hybrid power systems worldwide.
