Abstract
In this paper a new methodology is proposed to determine the optimum configuration of a grid-connected hybrid photovoltaic/wind system. Based on an optimization process the developed methodology helps to obtain the optimal number of PV panels, wind turbines and storage units ensuring that the system total cost is minimized while guaranteeing a highly reliable source of load power.
