Introduction
Hybrid power systems based on new and renewable energy sources, especially photovoltaic and wind energy, are an effective option to solve the power-supply problem for remote and isolated areas far from the grids. Over the present years hybrid technology has been developed and upgraded its role in renewable energy sources while the benefits it produces for power production can't be ignored and have to be considered. Nowadays many applications in rural and urban areas use hybrid systems. Many isolated loads try to adopt this kind of technology because of the benefits which can be received in comparison with a single renewable system. The annual average of wind velocity at different places in Probota is about 3 m/s which makes the utilization of wind energy converters surely un feasible in such places. Technically a system which is entirely dependent only on renewable energy sources can not be a reliable electricity supply, especially for isolated loads in remote areas. This is because the availability of the renewable energy sources can not be ensured. Therefore, wind , solar PV hybrid systems, which combine conventional and renewable sources of energies, are a better choice for isolated loads. A hybrid system using wind , solar PV, diesel generator as a back up system, and a battery as a storage system is expected to: satisfy the load demands , minimize the costs , maximize the utilization of renewable sources, optimize the operation of battery bank, which is used as back up unit , ensure efficient operation of the diesel generator, and reduce the environment pollution emissions from diesel generator if it is used as a stand alone power supply. The high capital cost of hybrid systems is affected by technical factors such as efficiency, technology, reliability, location, as well as some nontechnical factors, so the effect of each of these factors shall be considered in the performance study of the hybrid system.

One of the important factors, which directly affects the electricity cost is correct systemsizing mechanism of the systems components. Over-sizing of components in hybrid system make the system, which is already expensive, more expensive, while under-sizing makes the system less reliable. Thus optimum sizing for different components gives economical and reliable benefits to the system.

Fig.1. Locations for the demonstration system (Google Earth) Climatic conditions determine the availability and magnitude of solar and wind energy at a particular site. For different districts and locations, climatic conditions, including solar radiation, wind speed, air temperature, and so forth, are always changing. For better utilization of the solar and wind energy resources we use a potential site where are analysed the characteristics of solar radiation and wind. 1.1. Solar energy resource With a solar radiation of 1000 1300 kWh/m Romania has a valuable potential for solar energy application. Romanias geographical distribution of solar energy potential reveals the fact that more than 50% of Romanias territory benefits from an annual energy flow ranging between 1,000 1,300 kWh/m2 per annum. Solar energy potential is given by the average solar energy quantity received in horizontal plane which is estimated at approximately 1,100 kWh/m2 per annum in Romania. Solar energy is converted into electricity using photovoltaic installations consisting of solar modules of different configurations and dimensions. Romanias exploitable potential for electrical energy generation by photovoltaic systems is approximately 1,200 GWh per annum.

For the first year since 2007, wind energy in 2010 was not the leading sector in terms of the value of the capacity of new facilities based on ecological electrical energy sources. Wind constituted 16.8% of the capacity of all new energy sources. Wind energy has taken the lead among alternative energy sources in Romania. According to the Energy Regulatory Authority, the total capacity of wind farms in use amounted to 469 MW at the end of May 2011.

According to many renewable energy experts, a small "hybrid" electric system that combines wind and solar (photovoltaic) technologies offers several advantages over either single system. In much of the places, wind speeds are low in the summer when the sun shines brightest and longest. The wind is strong in the winter when less sunlight is available. Because the peak operating times for wind and solar systems occur at different times of the day and year, hybrid systems are more likely to produce power when you need it. Solar and wind energy systems are omnipresent, freely available, environmental friendly, and they are considered as promising power generating sources due to their availability and topological advantages for local power generations. Hybrid solarwind energy systems, uses two renewable energy sources, allow improving the system efficiency and power reliability and reduce the energy storage requirements for stand-alone applications. The hybrid solarwind systems are becoming popular in remote area power generation applications due to advancements in renewable energy technologies and substantial rise in prices of petroleum products. The solar and wind power outputs can fluctuate on an hourly or daily basis. The standalone system must, therefore, have some means of storing energy, which can be used later to supply the load during the periods of low or no power output. Alternatively, the wind or pv or both can also be used in a hybrid configuration with diesel engine generator or with fuel cells. To demonstrate the efficiency of the wind and the solar in our location, we simulate a hybrid system for a hotel situated in Probota. We use also a wind turbine and a solar panels. In the next pages we describe the system components and the most efficiency solution.

2. Hybrid System Components

Block diagram:
Fig. 18. Block diagram of the hybrid system. A hybrid solarwind system consists of PV array, wind turbine, battery bank, inverter, controller, and other accessory devices and cables. A schematic diagram of a basic hybrid system is shown in Fig. 18. The PV array and wind turbine work together to satisfy the load demand. When the energy sources (solar and wind energy) are abundant, the generated power, after satisfying the load demand, will be supplied to feed the battery until its fully charged. On the contrary, when energy sources are poor, the battery will release energy to assist the PV array and wind turbine to cover the load requirements until the storage is depleted. The hybrid solarwind system design is mainly dependent on the performance of individual components. In order to predict the systems performance, individual components should be modeled first and then their combination can be evaluated to meet the demand reliability. 2.1.Wind turbine General Aspects Small wind turbines are wind turbines which have lower energy output than large commercial wind turbines, such as those found in wind farms. These turbines may be as small as a fifty watt generator for boat, caravan, or miniature refrigeration unit. Small units often have direct drive generators, direct current output, aeroelastic blades, lifetime bearings and use a vane to point into the wind. Larger, more costly turbines generally have geared power trains, alternating current output, flaps and are actively pointed into the wind. Direct drive generators and aeroelastic blades for large wind turbines are being researched.
Pagin 13
Smaller scale turbines for residential scale use are available, they are usually approximately 2.17.6 m in diameter and produce electricity at a rate of 300 to 10,000 watts at their tested wind speed. Some units have been designed to be very lightweight in their construction, e.g. 16 kilograms, allowing sensitivity to minor wind movements and a rapid response to wind gusts typically found in urban settings and easy mounting much like a television antenna. It is claimed, and a few are certified, as being inaudible even a few feet (about a metre) under the turbine. The majority of small wind turbines are traditional horizontal axis wind turbines, but Vertical axis wind turbines are a growing type of wind turbine in the small-wind market. These turbines, by being able to take wind from multiple dimensions, are more applicable for use at low heights, on rooftops, and in generally urbanized areas. Their ability to function well at low heights is particularly important when considering the cost of a high tower necessary for traditional turbines. Dynamic braking regulates the speed by dumping excess energy, so that the turbine continues to produce electricity even in high winds. The dynamic braking resistor may be installed inside the building to provide heat (during high winds when more heat is lost by the building, while more heat is also produced by the braking resistor). The location makes low voltage (around 12 volt) distribution practical. Wind turbine implementation

Fig. 21. The power curve of the WES Tulipo Turbine 2.2. Solar panel General Aspects Photovoltaic energy is the energy produced by photovoltaic cells that convert solar energy directly into electricity, based on the photoelectric effect. These cells are made of semiconductor materials similar to those used in electronic circuits in semiconductor chips and electronic devices composition. Today, solar energy is considered as an alternative to conventional fuels, used for power generation. However, because this energy depends on many factors such as weather, season, day-night alternation or positioning on the globe, the use of this resource is more restricted. In order to optimize and obtain a good efficiency as special methods have been developed, such as MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking), which aims to extract maximum power at any point of time. Whether we speak of power watts or order of tens of kilowatts, solar panels are always accompanied by a voltage and frequency converter (inverter power) which allows its connection to the grid (or another application) and transfer control power. At the same time, these power converters include some algorithms to improve the overall efficiency of the entire equipment. However, any constructive solution would choose, high efficiency can not exceed a few percent. Because of this, and the relatively high price per kW installed, the spreading of this type of energy is made in a reduced rhythm. Even so, solar panels are starting to be used increasingly often in residential applications, to provide part of the electricity consumed in homes. Solar PV generation involves the generation of electricity from free and inexhaustible solar energy. The major advantages of a PV system are: Sustainable nature of solar energy as fuel; Minimum environmental impact; Drastic reduction in customers electricity bills due to free availability of sunlight; Long functional lifetime of over 30 years with minimum maintenance; Silent operation no sound pollution (no moving parts).
The major disadvantages of PV system are: Initial cost; Solar cells produce DC which must be converted to AC when used in curently existing distribution grids; The PV energy conversion efficiency is up to 22%, but usually under 15%; Limited power density: approximately 1000W/m2 depends of the location; Solar electricity is not available at night and is less available in cloudy weather conditions;
Pagin 17
Solar electricity is almost always more expensive than electricity generated by other sources.
A PV system consists mainly of: PV panels that convert the solar power into DC electrical power; Power converter that transforms the DC power into AC power. Basics of PV energy conversion: PV cell converts sunlight directly into electricity; It is made of semi-conducting material in two layer: P and N; When radiation from the sun hits the photovoltaic cell, the boundary between P and N acts as a diode: electrons can move from N to P, but not the other way around; Photons with sufficient energy hitting the cell cause electrons to move from the P layer into the N layer; An excess of electrons builds up in the N layer while the P layer builds up a deficit; The difference in the amount of electrons is the voltage difference, which can be used as a power source.

Charge Controller (Regulator) Charge controller is an essential component in hybrid systems where a storage system is required. It protects battery against both excessive overcharge and deep discharge. Charge controller shall switch off the load when a certain state of discharge is reached, also shall switch off battery from the DC bus when it is fully charged. Charge controller can be adjusted to deal with different charge and discharge conditions. Charge controller act as interface between each of wind turbine and PV panel and the DC bus where the battery is connected.

2.4.Battery Leadacid batteries are the oldest type of rechargeable battery. Despite having a very low energy-to-weight ratio and a low energy-to-volume ratio, their ability to supply high surge currents means that the cells maintain a relatively large power-to-weight ratio. These features, along with their low cost, make them attractive for use in motor vehicles to provide the high current required by automobile starter motors.

2.5.Diesel Generator A diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electrical energy. Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to the power grid, as emergency power-supply if the grid fails, as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, Grid Support and export to the power grid. Sizing of diesel generators is critical to avoid low-load or a shortage of power and is complicated by modern electronics, specifically non-linear loads.

Fig. 29. FX & VFX Series FX3048T Convertor The OutBack FX Series is a modular "building block" sine wave inverter/charger which can be used for both small and large power systems. Each OutBack FX inverter/charger module is a complete power conversion system - DC to AC inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch. Additional FX inverter/chargers can be connected at any time in parallel (120 VAC), series (120/240 VAC), or three-phase (120Y208 VAC) configurations. This allows a system to be tailored to meet the specific power conversion requirements of the application, both at the time of the installation and in the future. The OutBack FX series is also available in export versions with 230 VAC, 50 Hz output that can be connected in parallel (230 VAC) or in three-phase (230Y400 VAC) configurations. Up to eight FX inverter/chargers can be connected together to provide up to 20 KW of continuous power conversion capacity. The OutBack FX is designed to survive harsh environments anywhere in the world.
Pagin 25
The unique sealed, gasketed die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool without requiring outside air to be blown through the sensitive electronics. This reduces the major causes of inverter failure - corrosion, dust, insect and animal damage. The FX can be used in high ambient applications up to 60 degree C with reduced output ratings. The OutBack FX series inverter/charger system is designed for both residential and commercial stand-alone or back-up power applications with battery energy storage. It is designed to operate as a coordinated system with the other OutBack products (i.e. the PSDC, PSAC and PSR enclosures as well as the MX60 MPPT charge controllers and MATE system controller and display). Applications: Hot and humid climates where a protected area is not available for installation of the inverter/charger system Salt air environments such as Hawaii where you can't get away from the salt air and where there is little difference between indoors and outdoors Dirty environments where dust or drifting organic matter such as cottonwood could clog air openings in an unattended system Boats and RV's where water might splash on the inverter Greater control of unwanted radio frequency interference Specifications: Continuous Output Power: 3000 VA Continuous Output Current at 25 degrees: 25 amps AC RMS Idle Power (120 VAC Output No Load): 23 W DC Output Voltage: 120 VAC/60 Hz DC Input Voltage (Nominal): 48 VDC Peak Efficiency: 92% Output Voltage Regulation: +/-2% Continuous DC Charge Rate: 35 Amps DC Frequency Range: 50-70 Hz DC Input Voltage Range: 42-68 VDC Warranty: 2 years (Optional 5 year extended warranty Price for one inverter/charger = 1863 $ [http://www.solarpanelstore.com/pdf/fx_vfx_series_domestic.pdf http://www.solarpanelstore.com/solar-power.outback-inverters.outbackfx.fx2548t.info.1.html]

5. RESULTS
The total net present cost is HOMER's main economic output. All systems are ranked according to net present cost, and all other economic outputs are calculated for the purpose of finding the net present cost. The result obtained from the optimization gives the initial capital cost as $144.681 while operating cost is 61.928 $/year. Total net present cost (NPC) is $199.311 and the cost of energy (COE) is 1.544 $/kWh. The cost benefit analysis of a wind turbine-solar hybrid system in comparison with utility tariff showed that the hybrid system is not economically cheap and have a system payback time of 20 years. The model developed is fairly general and may be adequate for preliminary results for energy consumption cost for household and industrial sector willing to adopt renewable energy sources. After we explain the most efficient method, we calculate the total electrical consumption of the hotel. The amount of electricity bill based on annual consumption is: Tariff D simple monomial Consumption Inductive energy billed Capacitive energy billed Loss Excise Total Value excluding TVA[lei] 10096 0.4651 4695.65 0 0 0.00 0 0.0635 0.00 0 0.4651 0.00 10096 21.55 4717.20 Table 7.

8. Economic Evaluation of the Hybrid System

The costs of a hybrid system include acquisition costs, operating costs, maintenance costs and replacement costs. At end of the life of the system, the system may have a salvage value. An economic analysis is done based on life cycle costing method, which accounts for all costs associated with the system over its life time, taking into account the value of money. Life cycle costing is used in the design of the hybrid system that will cost the least amount over its lifetime. Cost annuity( cost required to generate 1 kWh of energy) is an indication on the cost of the system so that the system with the least cost annuity is selected. Costs of hybrid system include: components initial costs, components replacement costs, system maintenance costs, fuel and/or operation costs, and salvage costs or salvage revenues. Initial costs include purchasing the following equipments required by the hybrid system: wind turbine, PV modules, batteries, diesel generator, charge controllers, bidirectional inverter, management unit, cables, and other accessories used in the installation including labors . We know that the entire investition is aprox. 200.000$. We can calculate the amortization of the investition, and we can see that is 20 years. Amortization Calculator

9. Conclusions
Pagin 55
Based on the simulation program results previously presented, the following conclusions can be demonstrated: Using a wind-solar hybrid system is more economical then use just a PV or a wind turbine; The cost of this system is not expencive (200.000$) and the amortization of this investition is 20 years.
Anna & Cristina Mountain House (Fig. ) is an example of a building used through the entire year and powered by a hybrid system consisting of a diesel generator, solar panels, wind turbine and storage batteries.
Fig. . Anna&Cristina Mountain House Solar modules installed on the roof convert sunlight into ecological electricity no noise and emissions. While electrical consumers can be fully electrical fed when sunlight is strong enough, and the energy excess can be stored in batteries, and the power can be used from the batteries at night and during bad weather. If the wind speed is high enough, wind turbine provides energy and charge batteries.
Once the batteries are fully charged, wind turbine production is reduced when the wind is strong.
An inverter converts direct current from batteries in 230 V, alternating the current so that all ordinary commercial electrical can be used. A diesel generator provides energy security even when the weather is bad. To take advantage of energy supply as well as possible, computer monitors and controls the whole system. Solar and wind energy are the most accessible natural resources, and inexhaustible source of renewable energy. Depending on the weather, and the geographical area, solar and wind energy are complementary. Making a hybrid system (sun, wind) generation using the most favorable state of nature at a time, renewable energy is the essence of efficiency.Wind-solar hybrid system (WSH) is the best (complete, efficient, versatile, economical, advantageous) power supply system, totally or partially independent of local
Pagin 56
resources / national. WSH is a power generation system that uses wind energy entirely and solar energy. The results are widely used in areas without electricity or frequent power interruptions, the lighting of roads, housing, communications stations, islands. The system combines two types of green energy, wind energy and solar energy, taking into account environmental protection and energy saving,wind-solar combination can produce more energy. The system is easy to install, low maintenance cost. The WSH is more efficient than classic solar generation system (PV), in ensuring power supply and is ideal as a new source of supply of housing. The stand-alone hybrid solarwind power generation system is recognized as a viable alternative to grid supply or conventional fuel-based remote area power supplies all over the world. It is generally more suitable than systems that only have one energy source for supply of electricity to off-grid applications. However, the design, control, and optimization of the hybrid systems are usually very complex tasks. An implementation for this hybrid system as a pilot system in Probota(Bucovina) can be done if a subsidy is available for this project, this will make it possible for more research, study and analysis. In addition to all these, there is another aspect of effective use of this system in the residential sector. A hybrid system like the one analyzed, can be used very effectively and efficiently as well, in rural areas, where the connection from the grid is not possible. In this case an installation of a system like this, in these kind of areas usually is an economically and cost saving viable idea.
