Abstract—Combination of different but complementary energy generation systems based on renewable energies or mixed is known as hybrid system. In this paper a hybrid power system is designed with wind energy and hydro power source using PSCAD software. Here a simulation approach is adopted to observe the different characteristics of hybrid power system. From the study it is clear that this hybrid power system provides voltage stability and automatic load sharing capability.

Index Terms—Automatic load sharing, hybrid power system, hydro power, wind power, voltage stability.
