In remote areas alternative solutions like grid extensions or dependence on sole diesel generation are expensive as well: While grid extension may result in exorbitant installation costs, pure diesel generation causes a very low initial investment but the Maintainance and Operation Costs are a very substantial factor due to fuel prices and consumption. As a result planning a wind hybrid system requires a comparison of overall costs containing initial installation costs and maintainance and operation costs. The basic calculations for these two values are explained here, while a special section of the article '[[Economical_Feasibility_of_Wind_Energy_Projects|Economical feasibility of wind energy projects]]' explains how to carry out a cost benefit analysis in more detail.<br/>

 If the T/C station supply should be provided mainly by RES-sources, larger wind turbines on separate towers have to be installed. The inclusion of a PV-System results in reduced variations in RES-output and allows the reduction of the necessary storage size. A well designed hybrid system minimizes the fuel costs of the station supply<ref>Kaldelli (2010) Stand-alone and hybrid wind energy systems - Technology, energy storage and applications, Woodhead Publishing</ref>. Several examples have shown the efficiency of fuel savings gained by the application of hybrid systems: Kaldelli refers to a system installed for remote T/C stations in Kenya consisting of a 7,5 kW turbine, sealed batteries and an inverter, which reduced fuel consumption for remote T/C stations by 70-95%.

@@ Line 161: / Line 163: @@
 Scarcity of potable water is often found in remote island situations, which at the same time often have a good wind potential. In some areas of water scarcity, water desalination contributes a considerable part to potable water supply. Implementing wind-based water desalination units in these areas is a cost-saving and emission-avoiding alternative to running the desalination units by fossil fuels. The techniques described as most efficient for water desalination, are reverse osmosis and mechanical vapour compression. Unfortunately variations and interruptions in power supply are very unfavourable conditions for water desalination plants. For this reason hybrid-systems – based on wind, but allowing a less fluctuating energy supply – combine the advantages of renewable fuel saving energy technologies with the necessary supply security for the efficient operation of small desalination plants. A very promising development of technology are floating systems, consisting of plattforms with an installed hybrid system and micro desalination plant, floating near the coast on the water surface and using the preferable offshore wind conditions<ref>Kaldellis J.K.
