Minding the P's and Q's: Real and reactive power assessment of hybrid energy conversion systems with wind and solar resources

S. Sarkar
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a comprehensive planning approach to tackle the issues of wind and solar integration into the power grid and developed a procedural tool that will facilitate hybrid generation, which can provide a more economic and reliable supply of electricity under different load demand conditions compared to single use of such systems.

The Potential for Wind-Generated Electricity in Mauritius

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the feasibility of such a scenario by assessing the wind power potential at five strategic locations using a two-parameter Weibull distribution and showed that the monthly mean wind speed was highest at Plaisance with a maximum of 5.46 m/s occurring in July and a minimum of 3.91m/s in May.
