A renewable energy is a new topic in education in Indonesia, especially for vocational education. The problem is the teaching trainer as a learning media is still not available at Universitas Negeri Malang while developing a trainer is expensive. This paper introduces a renewable-energy simulator, which can show the process of converting energy using hybrid solar cell and wind power systems. In case of the solar cell system, the simulator shows the process of converting the sunlight beam to energy production. Furthermore, the simulator shows the watt peak (WP) of the daily solar beam. In the case of the wind-power system, the simulator shows the capacity of power generator considering the size of rotor, wind speed, and the type of generator. The unique point of this simulator is that the hybrid systems of solar cell and wind power systems are demonstrated. While solar cell can't be effective if the sunlight beam is not available, it can be supported by the wind-power system, which is available for 24 hours, but it is depending on the speed of wind. Thus, implementation of this simulator can help students easier to understand and optimise the development of power generation using renewable energy. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
