Renewable energy is one of the most promising solutions to energy shortage that may occur in the future particularly in remote areas. Solar cells suffer from the problem of high temperature, which reduces the electrical efficiency and operational life. In this study we investigate a new hybrid technique of cooling and voltage induction. A set of small generators installed on the back of a solar panel operating under the influence of heat and magnetic energy are called thermo-magneto-electric generators (TMEG). A modeling study was done using COMSOL Multiphysics5.2a (COMSOL) software as a package to simulate the physical states of the system. This study showed that a TMEG has the ability to improve the efficiency as a result of reducing the temperature. An induction voltage is also an output of the system and can be combined with the output of the solar panel composing the hybrid system.

Renewable energy hybrid systems give a good solution in isolated sites, in the Algerian desert; wind and solar potentials are considerably perfect for a combination in a renewable energy hybrid system to satisfy local village electrical load and minimize the storage requirements, which leads to reduce the cost of the installation. For a good sizing, it is essential to know accurately the solar potential of the installation area also wind potential at the same height where wind electric generators will be placed. In this work, we optimize a completely autonomous PV-wind hybrid system and show the techno-economical effects of the height of the wind turbine on the sizing of the hybrid system. We also compare the simulation results obtained from using wind speed measured data at 10 meters and 40 meters of height with the ones obtained from using wind speed extrapolation on HOMER software.
