Thousands of animals are harmed every day so that their fur can be used to produce furry coats. Animal…

Chapter 5 Hybridization of Wind With Solar Using Cuk and Sepic Converters This chapter presents a hybrid model of solar and wind energy. This gives the hybridization of wind with solar using the CUK and SEPIC converters. In this model the solar PV panel source is connected to the CUK converter and correspondingly the wind turbine source is given to the SEPIC converter. Solar energy and wind energy are the two renewable energy sources most common in use. Hybridizing solar and wind power sources…
