Renewable energy technologies are suitable for off-grid services, serving the remote areas without having to build or
extend expensive and complicated grid infrastructure. Therefore standalone system using renewable energy sources
have become a preferred option. The key reason for the deployment of the above energy systems are their benefits,
such as supply security, reduced carbon emission, improved power quality, reliability and employment opportunity to the local people. Research work is carried out to simulate hybrid power system with wind energy, diesel power system and transmission line with fault detection using MATLAB SIMULINK software. Electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and power of the system are computed. Also the recovery time of the supply is observed. The simulated result shows the system works satisfactorily providing high electrical parameters.

Keywords: Hybrid power system, diesel generator, transmission, wind generator.
