Abstract: This work aims to extract maximum available power from the sun using Photovoltaic cells and wind in wind turbines. Photovoltaic (PV) power system is proving to be a potential alternative to produce electrical power without harming the environment by directly transforming a free inexhaustible source of solar energy into electricity. Enhancement in the technology of the power electronics interface has made it possible to transfer low voltage, low power DC to the useful DC voltage level. The power semiconductor technology using high frequency switching devices has made it possible to generate clean and efficient electrical energy from solar energy using PV cells.

In the recent trends in application of renewable energy sources, integrated solar and wind power plant has been designed with different geometrical parameter for increase the accessibility of solar and wind energy due to increasing the rate of environmental pollution and lake of non- renewable energy resources. A solar and wind power plant not only provide environmental benefits but it also reduces so much of electrical consumption from costly resources. The modelling of the test case system is carried out in MATLAB Simulink. All the resources are designed with a specific rating. The simulations are carried out for 24 hours for all day. The results are discussed in four different cases depending on the participation of resources. Thus, finally a case found that the expense is more when any of the renewable source is not considered. As well as, when both renewable resources are considered, it becomes dominant model for reducing energy consumption
