Abstract

<p>In recent years, the global energy sector has faced growing challenges&nbsp;related to power supply reliability, environmental sustainability, and efficient&nbsp;utilization of renewable energy sources.Unstable electricity supply remains&nbsp;a critical issue, particularly in remote and mountainous regions. Combining&nbsp;wind and hydropower in hybrid systems presents an innovative and regionally&nbsp;adaptable solution. The Chortoq micro hydropower plant, located in a terrain&nbsp;with suitable wind potential and flowing water resources, serves as a relevant&nbsp;case study for investigating this integration. The main objective of this research&nbsp;is to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid energy systems that combine wind and&nbsp;hydropower sources in ensuring a stable and continuous electricity supply. The&nbsp;study focuses on analyzing energy efficiency, system reliability, and optimization&nbsp;strategies using the Chortoq micro hydropower plant as an example. This work&nbsp;<br /> utilizes modeling and simulation methods to assess the performance of hybrid&nbsp;systems under varying environmental conditions. Technical parameters of&nbsp;wind turbines and micro-hydropower installations are integrated into a hybrid&nbsp; configuration. Energy output calculations, reliability metrics (such as LOLP&nbsp;and LPSP), and cost-effectiveness analyses were conducted using MATLAB/Simulink and HOMER Pro tools. The analysis indicates that the hybrid wind-hydro system significantly improves energy supply stability by compensating for&nbsp;the intermittency of individual sources. Simulation results show a reduction in&nbsp;power outages by more than 75%, improved load coverage, and a 30% decrease in&nbsp;reliance on backup diesel generators. The results confirm that small-scale hybrid&nbsp;systems are both technically viable and economically efficient in the context of&nbsp;Chortoq and similar regions.</p>
