i am looking for formula to calculate solar power output on hourly basis for PV plant with given rating using irradiance and diffuse irradiance. I have hourly data for irradiance and diffuse irradiance. Is there any effect of wind? if there is which equation can be used for it?
There is a clear effect of temperature on solar cell performance. Increasing temperature decreases the efficiency of the panel. So there is a clear effect of wind as it controls panel temperature. You can refer to the formula's developed here : Article Wind Effect on PV Module Temperature: Analysis of Different ...

You can refer to "Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes" by John A. Duffie, William A. Beckman. You will find equations for beam + diffuse radiations.
Hope it helps.

Beam and diffuse radiation together is known as GHI (Global Horizonta Irradiance). You need to have hourly data for GNI (Global Normal Irradiance) which means radiation on inclined surface of solar panel placed at certain tilt angle at a given location. Once you get GNI, calculate the total area of solar panels. Multiply the area with GNI and you get the energy generated at 100% efficiency. Now just multiply this figure with efficiency of module and you get the final energy generated by that solar panel. Let us take an example:
A solar panel with efficiency of 19% and effective cell area of 2 sq.m. receives GNI 2000 kWh/sq.m./year. Total energy generated at 100% efficiency will be 4000 kWh/year. Now multiply it with 0.19 and you get 760 kWh energy per year by that panel.
