Simulation model of single structured tower hybrid wind and tidal energy cultivation based on Yemen’s south west coast

摘要

This paper propose the single structured tower with hybrid renewable energy cultivation on south west coast of Yemen by the means of tidal turbine which uses ocean current under the ocean and at the top of tower is wind turbine to harvest the maximum available energy resources at the same site. This single structured turbine is an efficient and cost effective way to utilize the renewable resources available at the case study area of Yemen. The meteorological analysis is also considered to increase the efficiency of this renewable energy unit as well as the Matlab simulation of generation unit is being carried out to observe the behavior of renewable sources (wind, tide current) on turbine.
