future‚ renewable energy like solar‚ wind‚ wave and tidal could be utilized in some areas of Bangladesh. The geographical location of Bangladesh is ideal for tapping solar energy effectively. There is also enormous potential for harnessing electrical power from wind in some selected areas of the country and in the coastal region. In this paper possibility of wind-solar hybrid system has been studied. There is a possibility of a total of 100 MW hybrid power generation in coastal areas. After

negative impact on the environment. Traditional energy sources‚ most notably fossil fuels‚ produce greenhouse gases that are believed to be the primary cause of an effect known as global warming or climate change.
