    In this study, a PV/Wind hybrid power generation system was studied using meteorological data of Bursa province. Reliability of the weather data is crucial when designing renewable-based power systems. As a result, weather data of the two specific years (2011, 2014) were chosen for the dynamic simulations. The designed hybrid system consists of PV panels and a wind turbine. The outcome of the study shows that with the proposed 1 MW PV + 2 MW wind turbine system, it is possible to generate enough electricity to compensate the annual electricity requirement of 450 households which can be considered as a small district area. Levelized cost of energy is found a value between 0.413-0.568 $/kWh. Payback period of the system is found a value around 20 years. It was concluded that it is essential to offer adequate incentives for renewable-based power applications to make them economically beneficial.
