3 FAQs about [Run-of-river and hybrid photovoltaic power stations]

Can small off-grid power systems be hybridized?

We propose two hybridization methods for small off-grid power systems consisting solar (PV), wind, & micro-hydro sources. One of the methods was implemented in a mini-grid connecting Thingan and Kolkhop villages in Makawanpur District, Nepal.

Where was a PV-wind hybrid system installed?

The PV–wind hybrid system was installed in Thingan, a village located at 27°26′36.54″N and 85°14′43.73″E with an altitude of 1347 m above sea level (asl). An FZY-3KW type wind turbine, with 3-kW rated power, was installed in conjunction with the 5 kW PV system.

Can a hybrid PV-wind system satisfy the combined demand of thingan & kolkhop?

It is obvious from this figure that neither the hybrid PV-wind system in Thingan nor the MHP in Kolkhop can satisfy the combined demand of the two villages. However, hybridizing the two power plants into a single mini-grid increases the reliability of the power supply and satisfies the demand.
