Sizing and analysis of a stand-alone photovoltaic and wind system
This project discusses the sizing process of a stand-alone hybrid Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind system that will be used at a house located in Hodan, Mogadishu, Somalia. The development of the system is intended to reduce the use of non-renewable energy sources and the causes of major pollution. It is...

This project discusses the sizing process of a stand-alone hybrid Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind system that will be used at a house located in Hodan, Mogadishu, Somalia.
