520			_aABSTRACT The hybrid (solar-wind) power system is the combination of wind energy and solar energy to produce electricity. This system is designed to produce electricity 24/7 to feed the load in Kaduna, Nigeria at a cheaper rate with less harmful gases released to the environment. This system is needed because the electricity in Nigeria as a whole is unreliable and in some parts of the country it is non-existent. So an efficient system that is reliable and can produce electricity continuously is needed. For this proposed system, Kaduna State is used as a case study. Kaduna state is located in the Northern part of Nigeria which has an average wind speed of 4.98m/s and average solar GHI of 5.94kWh/m2 /day. The use of these two systems together is more advantageous for the generation of electricity. The electricity in Nigeria is in dire need of improvement so this case study shows whether the implementation of hybrid systems can improve/solve the electricity issue in Nigeria. The proposed system is simulated using Homer Pro. 8 scenarios were tested out with different generation ratios. Out of the 8 scenarios, four scenarios have the same component and the other four scenarios have different components. The load generation ratio is how the load generation is divided between the wind turbine and solar array. The ratios are 50-50, 75-25, 25-75, a fourth scenario was added later on, the case is to let Homer pro size up the system by itself using Homer optimizer. These scenarios with two types of generating sources is what made up this case study. Out of all the scenarios, scenario 6 has the best configuration which is, the off-grid system with PV array and wind turbine which has a load generation ratio of 25-75 which means the PV will produce 25% of the needed power and the turbines will produce the rest 75% of the needed power. The system also has batteries and generator. This scenario 6 NPC is $138,680,300.00 and the LCOE is $0.09719. The scenario 6 has a total production of 116,154,378kWh/year and CO2 emission of 3,553,083kg/year. This scenario 6 is considered the best because even though all the scenarios have the same load, this scenario 6 produced electricity with the lowest NPC and LCOE, and it is also environmentally friendly since 95.7% of the system generation is from the renewable sources.
