Abstract

Considering both wind power drawbacks and the well known benefits and advantages of hydropower, and taking into account a general rule that stated that the power of wind plant is a fraction (30%) of wind power turbine, we proposed a hybrid eolian-hydro system for large utility system as a fine solution that has an overall integrated capacity factor better than those on we could trust before (30%). We had introduced a new efficiency factor for a better dimensioning expression of losses on dump loads in alone standing wind power plant. Finally we look for the solution on national scale, where hydro power represents a small part, fewer than 10%, as in Romania.
