Increasing concern about the shortage of energy resources and harmful outcome of fossil fuel emission has initiated new requirement of reliable and cleaner green power sources. Hence, solar photovoltaic and wind power system are fastest developing sources among different renewable energy sources. In the proposed work, the urgency of the national policy to upgrade the existing coal‐based plant as integrated solar, wind and coal‐based power plant to reduce the carbon emission and to evaluate the feasibility of developing grid‐connected hybrid energy system in Ramapuram Chennai, India has been presented. Moreover, the regression models for estimation of global solar radiation using different metrological parameters are developed and compared with the results of other models. In this work, Ramapuram, Chennai, India area is chosen to install the wind and solar photovoltaic systems to feed three types of load (residential, commercial and industrial). In this study, ENNORE thermal power station, Chennai is considered to reduce the carbon emission as the integration of solar photovoltaic system and wind system to the grid reduce the units generation from this plant. Hence, study shows that 110329.56 kg emission is reduced from ENNORE thermal power station by using this system.
