Abstract
Wind turbines play a major role in covering the growing energy demand, while ensuring sustainable environmental-friendly power distribution. However, their power reliability is limited by weather conditions and thus is unpredictable. It is therefore important to find new solutions that increase the reliability of renewable energies. This paper introduces a solar wind blade, which uses implemented solar concentrators, thus these blades take advantage of wind and solar energy at the same time. As it is an integrated system, this concept needs less space than typical grid-connected hybrid solar and wind energy systems, where usually both harvesting devices are installed separately.
