A Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) combines multiple types of renewable energy technologies, such as wind and solar power. The primary application of these systems is to supply electricity to remote areas, including villages and islands, where no other power generation methods are available, particularly in climates similar to that of Indore. This study provides essential information about the operational methodology and other characteristics of HRES. This paper assesses the performance of a hybrid system that combines wind and solar energy in Indore. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of renewable energy systems, specifically those utilizing solar and wind energy. The performance of the hybrid system has been analyzed based on several parameters, including capacity factor, energy yield, and overall efficiency. Data on solar radiation and wind speed for the hybrid system was collected from January 2024 to December 2024 at the School of Energy and Environmental Studies, DAAV, in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. This paper analyzes the wind speed variations throughout the months in Indore's climate during the year 2024, identifying which month experiences the maximum and minimum wind speeds. Additionally, it notes the fluctuations in solar radiation. Following this analysis, a separate examination of photovoltaic (PV) and wind generators is conducted. The performance output of the combined PV-wind hybrid system is also analyzed. Consequently, the study aims to determine the optimal ratio of PV to wind energy for rural areas like Indore, where there is no established transmission line, to achieve maximum electricity output.
