Wind and solar regimes in northeast region of Brazil are complementary considering mesoscale data, typically with slower winds during daytime. The site under evaluation has that kind of regime; this paper will verify if in a smaller timestamp basis the complementary regime will be worthwhile economically sustainable. The combination of solar and wind energy aim an increasing of balance of plant utilization, consequently improving the global efficiency of a hybrid farm. The objective of the paper is to verify the complementarity of wind and solar under energy production, showing the best ratio of MWwind x MWsolar for a hybrid farm under some constraints. For the particular case of this paper, the ratio would be around 1 MWsolar power for every 3.75 MWwind considering a 30 MW hybrid farm.
