In this work the design and simulation of two stan d-alone renewable energy sources (RES) based systems for application in a household in Cyprus is presented. More specifically, the household is loc ated in Nicosia and is used as the residence of a typical C ypriot family for which a baseline scenario of ener gy consumption is specified in order to define the ann ual load profile of the house. The first system is based on photovoltaic (PV) modules for the generation of ele ctricity by harvesting the very high solar potentia l of Cyprus while the second one is a hybrid system combining P Vs with a domestic wind turbine in order to take ad vantage of the wind potential especially during winter. Sin ce both systems are stand alone the energy produced is stored in a battery bank. The software used for the modeli ng and simulation processes is TRNSYS. A comparison of the two systems in terms of both technical and econ omical aspects is presented in this study where it is concluded that the wind potential of the specific l ocation of the house, which generally applies on th e entire island, cannot substitute and compete in any way wi th the very high solar potential.
