  • In the paper, an automatic design procedure to design a grid connected Hybrid Solar Wind Power System (HSWPS) is proposed. It is based on a fuzzy global performance index taking into account both technical and economical objectives. The technical objective, related to system reliability, is expressed by the Energy Index of Reliability (EIR), whereas the economical objective is expressed by means Relative Unit Electricity cost (RUEC). The HSWPS model is based on a closed form solution approach which allows to treat the power produced by the hybrid system as a probabilistic variable. The procedure aims at finding the optimal size of the two subsystems (i.e. Photovoltaic System (PVS) and Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS)).
