Taiwan has lots of steep and rugged mountain areas in the Central Mountain Range, where power supply becomes difficult after heavy destruction by a natural disaster. On the other hand, Taiwan is located in the subtropical region with sufficient wind resource and solar radiation. This research is to analyze the feasibility of a wind-solar energy hybrid system applied in the disaster areas in Taiwan. This paper presents the results obtained from the analysis and optimization of the electrical characteristics of a combined system, small wind turbine SWT and photovoltaic panel PV, tested inside the laboratory. Experiments were carried out with a solar panel of 111[cm]x502[cm] and 4 halogen bulbs, horizontally placed, varying the PV panel’s angle with the vertical axis from 0 degrees to 45 degrees and varying wind velocity also, the purpose is to find the best combination of the hybrid system. The result shows that characteristics of individual systems could be applied to hybrid system; greater power is obtained when angle of PV panel is perpendicular to the emissions and for SWT, power increases as wind velocity increases when the angle is 0 with respect to the wind flow. The efficiency of the whole system is optimal at 4.5-5.5 [m/s] of wind velocity. It is suggested to be as a basis for further studying of the hybrid system.
