This study explores the development and optimization of hybrid energy systems combining wind and hydropower resources. Emphasizing their complementary nature, the research introduces a control algorithm for managing real-time electrical and thermal demands using both cogeneration and renewable sources. The study examines economic, environmental, and operational benefits of integrated systems, including improved reliability, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and enhanced supply security. A game-theoretical investment model is also proposed to evaluate strategic deployment of wind-hydro systems in competitive power markets. The hybrid configuration demonstrates significant potential for stable, cost-effective energy supply in both grid-connected and standalone applications, particularly in regions with fluctuating renewable resources.

Keywords: Wind-hydro integration, Cogeneration systems, Renewable energy management, Hybrid power systems, Energy optimization.
