Abstract

A residential size hybrid system powered by wind and solar Energy has been developed on Frostburg State University campus to supply a small building through net metering. The main purpose of the demonstration system is to develop a knowledge base on residential electric generation from wind and solar energy in Western Maryland and the surrounding area. The paper discusses the pre-design study for site selection, an assessment of the solar and wind potential at the selected location, the system outline, experience gained during the design and construction phase, and an assessment of the system performance based on collected output data.
