Application of Wind-PV hybrid system (WPVHS) has great potential to meet the electricity needs of rural areas as these could provide electricity in a cost effective way. But according to the implementers and project designers site selection is very important factor for success of WPVHS. To address this issue, a GIS based method has been developed to select technically and financially feasible sites of a given region. The methodology was applied in two different areas without and with electricity coverage in two different countries: Rote Tengah and Pantai Baru districts of Rote Island, Indonesia and Lao Cai province of Vietnam. In both cases, the methodology is able to find the potential resource density. In Rote Island, five sites were found to have technical potential of WPVHS, whereas, in Lao Cai province no sites were found suitable. From the financial analysis the most suitable site selected by the method is Oeledo desa of Pantai Baru district, where a wind-PV system has been installed by e7. A scenario analysis was also carried out to show that the methodology can be applied addressing various constraints (e.g. providing incentive, reducing O&M cost, demand of the region/location etc.). As the model and the results are based on GIS, it is easy for the planners and project developers to visualize the results. Main Objectives: The main objective of the study is to develop a model to assess the feasibility of a site for the installation of wind/PV hybrid systems for decentralized rural electrification using a Geographical Information System (GIS). Background Information: Utilization of renewable energy resources is becoming financially feasible for rural electrification due to the rapid development of the new technologies [1]. Application of Wind-PV hybrid system (WPVHS) has great potential to meet the electricity needs of rural areas as these could provide electricity in a cost effective way [2]. A study shows that these systems minimize the environmental impacts and increase the reliability of power supply [3]. Therefore, wind-PV hybrid system (WPVHS) would be a suitable option for decentralized rural electrification. However, success of a wind-PV hybrid system would mostly depend on the appropriate selection of the site specific conditions and the success of WPVHS depends on appropriate site selection [4]. Rational: RE resources are depends on geographical location as well as the time of the day. Therefore, electricity consumption should take place within limited distance from the production site. Identification and estimation of RE supply and estimation of electricity demand profile could give a total scenario of electricity demand and resource of an area based on which local energy plan could be made. This can be easily illustrated using Geographic Information System (GIS) which is a useful tool for understanding the geographic context of a wide range of issues relevant to energy, especially electricity demand and feasibility of the resources of a location [5].
