Abstract: Renewable energy systems are increasing in power production and efficiency, as the need for clean energy sources continues to increase. The purpose of this research is to design and analyse an integrated hybrid system that provides a continuous power supply. A local dairy farm's cattle cooling system operates at a power demand of 38,664.00 watts to 128,880.00 watts per day and is chosen as the load that is to be supported for an off-grid application. A 120 kilowatt wind turbine and a 150 kilowatt solar panel kit are determined to be optimal through various analyses. Integrating the subsystems with energy conversion and battery storage systems provides the power demand at all times throughout the day as well as the effectiveness of the system. This investigation incorporates a similar analysis to a small-scale prototype to validate the larger hybrid system's general characteristics and is discussed in detail.
