This report underscores the urgent need for timely integration of solar PV and wind capacity to achieve global decarbonisation goals, as these technologies are projected to contribute significantly to meet growing demands for electricity by 2030. . Solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind power have been growing at an accelerated pace, more than doubling in installed capacity and nearly doubling their share of global electricity generation from 2018 to 2023. Solar panels take care of power generation during the daytime when wind speed is slower, and wind turbines take care of power generation at night when solar. . This paper presents an optimization method for hybrid energy systems based on Model Predictive Control (MPC), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KANs). The proposed method is applied to a high-altitude wind energy work umbrella control system, where it aims to. . Although solar and wind energies are the most variable renewable energy sources. This work aims to combine these two energy sources and use this energy to generate electricity to light an. . Abstract- This project presents a design for a wind-solar hybrid power generation system suitable for small-scale applications, such as homes, farms, or remote communities.
