Abstract: Hydrogen is one of these sources that no acceptable assessment of its technical - economic production feasibility has been done yet in various regions of Iran. Accordingly, the present study has been carried out aiming at technical-economic feasibility of establishing hybrid photovoltaic-wind power plant to produce electricity and hydrogen using Homer software for Hendijan area in the South West of Iran. The findings of the technical-economic feasibility study shows that the area under study annually produces 3,153,762kWh of electricity for a Photovoltaic-wind power hybrid system, and 31,680kg of hydrogen for constructing a hybrid system consisting of: wind turbine model GE 1.5sl, a 4-kilowatt photovoltaic system and a 100kg hydrogen tank. Furthermore, technical-economic assessment shows that establishment of hybrid plant in the area under study is confirmed.
