7. Small Hybrid Solar-Wind Energy Systems
Department of Energy Pulse (DOE Pulse Staff, "Small Hybrid Solar and Wind Energy Systems Offer Alternatives," May 31, 2004) reports" in many climates, solar and wind have seasonal variations and these variations often complement one another when it comes to power generation. Thus, a national lab is developing hybrid solar-wind systems for the estimated two billion people around the globe who are without electricity and who are unlikely to be connected to a grid because of the prohibitive expense. The National Renewables Energy Laboratory has established the International Systems Testing program and a website to report on the progress of the projects developed under the program." See the website, which includes a link to real-time data collection at a well-illustrated system, at
