Q.4. Explain some example of hybrid system. [2]
Answer
Examples of hybrid systems include solar-wind hybrid systems (combining PV panels and wind turbines to smooth out the complementary daily/seasonal variability of the two resources), solar-diesel hybrid systems (using diesel generator backup for periods of low solar output, common in remote off-grid microgrids), wind-diesel hybrid systems, and solar-biomass or geothermal-conventional hybrid plants, all designed to improve overall system reliability and capacity factor compared to any single non-conventional source used alone.
