Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

figure 3 should be clearer, figure 4 is too large,
details are not visible

Author Response

Dear reviewer, we are very grateful for your review!

All changes were processed to satisfy the requirements of all reviewers. All changes in the article are highlighted by the Microsoft Word Revision so that they are identifiable.

We have sharpened Figure 3 as you had recommended.
We also reduced the size of Figure 5.

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper presents  the use of autonomous power plants with renewable energy sources and their positive synergistic effects. The research is well presented with short and clear conclusions.  I recommend publishing it in the current form.

Reviewer 3 Report

Authors presented an innovative micro-power plant using various wind turbines with a horizontal axis of rotation and a photovoltaic generator.

Presented paper included simulation and practical of proposed generator.

The result are presented separately from wind and PV generator. It is not clear the total power (and energy) output value of a generator (wind+PV) obtained in operational condition.

Author Response

Dear reviewer, we are very grateful for your review!

All changes were processed to satisfy the requirements of all reviewers. All changes in the article are highlighted by the Microsoft Word Revision so that they are identifiable.

The revised conclusion include the refined data on the power of the combined wind-solar plant and the total annual generated energy.
