Abstract
To increase power generation, the next generation wind turbines are focusing more on hybrid systems. There is always a demanding need for more efficient wind power generation systems. In view of the improvements in the known types of turbines now available in the prior art, the present work proposes a novel hybrid wind and solar turbine construction wherein the same can be utilized for generating additional electrical power. A practical and feasible combination of wind turbine and solar panels has been designed. In this proposed novel arrangement, solar panels are secured to the surface of nacelle heli-hoist to supplement the power generation of a wind turbine.
