Design and Optimization of a Hybrid Solar–Wind Power Generation System for Greenhouses

The climate crisis and energy price increases make supply a crucial parameter in the design of greenhouses. One way to tackle both these issues is local production from renewable sources. Since permitted photovoltaic power installation on greenhouse roof limited by need for an adequate amount photosynthetically active radiation at crop level, necessity designing hybrid system combining different sources, storage systems, conventional sources arises. present work addresses multifactorial problem optimal (in terms quality, produced electricity CO2 emissions) generation (photovoltaics/wind turbine/accumulators/oil generating unit) meet needs. accounts needs (for tomato cultivation) combinations equipment microclimate management). Extended parametric studies available solar wind potential demand are used generalize conclusions. Special attention given contribution various turbine sizes. effect orientation modules arrangement arched roofs also examined systems assessed cost environmental footprint.
