“…However, stand-alone solar or wind energy systems can never provide a continuous energy supply due to seasonal and periodical variations. In order to cope with this difficulty, hybrid power systems which include one or more renewable energy based generating units such as solar and wind generating units are combined with battery backups to satisfy the load demand available [1][2][3][4]. Wind and solar hybrid power systems are gaining popularity for stand-alone power generation applications, due to the advances in renewable energy technologies and subsequent rise in prices of petroleum products.…”

Abstract-Energy has the key role for the socio-development of a country. Today, the reaching end of the fossil fuels indicates the energy straits in the near future. From this point of view, countries could use renewable energy sources based on their potentials. Recently, particularly structures intensively use renewable energy sources. Hence, renewable energy sources are planned to be used public library buildings. Via optimum hybrid system consisting of joint wind and solar energy resources usage, energy need of Kirklareli city public library will be provided. Parameters like the optimum wind turbine, converter number solar panel and battery are to be determined by analyses.

“…To complement sustainability, solar lanterns such as those used in Sagardeep Island also achieved a degree of success [12]. For effectively regulated demand and load conditions, solar energy acts as an economically incentive and technologically viable option in contrast to the installation of main power grids for this remote region.…”

“…The main setback for solar is its seasonal availability: during monsoon seasons the power output is reduced to four hours due to cloud cover and the highest loss of load hours occurred [12]. Additionally, the ideal silicon-based PV operational condition is well known to be that of a relatively cold and sunny environment rather than the hot and humid climate of the region.…”

For remote underdeveloped and sparsely populated regions, the use of national power grids to provide electricity can be both unsustainable and impractical. In recent years, decentralised renewable power has gained popularity, endowing social benefits to the local inhabitants through clean rural electrification. However, power reliability and system autonomy are often the primary technical concerns as current systems are largely single source reliant. Hybrid power systems that utilise multiple complementary renewables can help to reduce the dependency on conventional unclean options. A few selected case studies for both single source and hybrid power systems are reviewed, analysing critical success factors and evaluating existing difficulties. The additional integration of the novel rain-powered kinetic-to-electric generator technology to the existing hybrid model is analysed. As with development in general, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to bringing power to remote communities and the most sustainable solution should be found through analysing local resources, environmental conditions and maximising local involvement.

“…To provide electricity to such areas, de-centralized electricity generation using renewable energy technologies like wind electric generators, photovoltaic systems, biomass gasifier, etc. may be employed [3,4]. Advantages of such systems are negligible fuel cost, non-polluting, modularity, and ease of extensibility.…”
