(A) Combined Wind Diesel Power Plant Wind plant
Suitability :
- In remote areas where wind is favourable and diesel Supply is no problem.
- If wind is not certain for a length of period then diesel power generates electricity and feeds the grid. So also when wind power plant is taken for maintenance, the diesel plant can supply the power.
- The additional components such as storage battery, inverter rectifier units play their part and make the power supply system as a complete one.
(B) Combined Solar and Wind Power Plant
- This combination also works satisfactorily.
- In uncertainty of wind source, solar system can work and vice-versa. Battery can store electrical energy produced by either stations. The combination can feed the power to the grid system.
- Following is the block diagram of the combined plant.
