In Taiwan, even though the geographical background is quite suitable for developing wind power, the efficiency of wind turbines during weak wind periods (from Aprill to September) is much detracted because of the seasonal monson and climate influence. On the other hand, Taiwan is located in the subtropical region with sufficient soalr radiation and enough sunshine duriation in weak wind periods to develop solar energy. It has been also becoming a newly rising industry. As a result, this reaserch is to analyze the trend of soalr radiation and sunshine duriation in Taiwan and to approach a formula for stimulating the electricity of the hybrid wind-turbine-PV-system in Taiwan. This study combines wind energy and solar energy as a hybrid energy system to take both advantages of two systems. Two different kinds of wind turbines with various PV systems at six strong-wind locations (Hsinchu, Wuchi, Chenggong, Hengchun, Lanyu and Penghu) in Taiwan are studied and discussed. The results shows that the hybrid system in Penghu has the best operation condition in obtaining the benefits of combining the two renewable energy. This location has the most stable amount of electricity during the whole year.
