A full characterization test of the hybrid system’s wind generator machine has been carried out. The test was divided into two parts. In the laboratory the generator efficiency was determined for a variety of rotational speeds in the range 150[rpm] – 1100[rpm] and the characteristics of the generator efficiency n™e against the output power Pout for the whole range of rotational speeds were plotted in the form

A wind tunnel test was organized in order to simulate realistic wind
[8] Reliable hourly climatic data were not provided. For sensitivity studies, we selected U. S. SOLMET station Bakersfield, CA whose climate is closest to that of Sede Boqer.
[9] The phase of the project with the longest lead time was construction of the combiner box requiring about 10 weeks.
