Economic analysis of grid-connected hybrid photovoltaic-wind system in Malaysia
Solar and wind are alternative energy resources which are clean, inexhaustible and environmentally friendly. This study aims to conduct an economic analysis of a grid-connected hybrid PV-wind system in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. The system configurations comprise of grid-only, PV-grid and PV-wind g...
