Design Of A Hybrid Diesel/PV/Wind/Battery System In Remote Areas

There are large number of the remote areas worldwide that are far and not connected to the utility grid. Eluvaitivu Island is an example in the remote area that is not connected to the mainland. Thus, there is a need for the independent power generation system to supply the load demand in the island...
