The paper describes education, outreach, and research activities on residential use of wind and solar energy performed at Frostburg State University (FSU). A residential size wind and solar energy demonstration system named "WISE" consisting of a 2-kW solar (PV) array and 1.8-kW wind turbine was constructed on FSU campus. A broad range of community outreach presentations have been offered to increase the public awareness of the residential use of wind and solar energy. The "WISE Certified Education Program" developed to provide instruction and training on design, installation, and maintenance of wind and solar PV generation systems was offered in spring and fall 2008. The WISE initiative led to construction of "Sustainable Energy Research Facility (SERF)" on FSU campus. SERF will be an off-grid residential building supplied by clean renewable energy and house the FSU Renewable Energy Center to offer research, education, and outreach programs.

“…A few studies are about optimizing the renewable energy systems (Shen, 2009;Lagorse et al, 2009;Ai et al, 2003;Bilal et al, 2010). In the hybrid wind-solar power generation system designed and realized in the campus of Frostburg State University, a 2-kW solar panel and a 1.8-kW wind turbine were used (Soysal et al, 2008). By designing a micro-controller renewable energy generator and wind and solar collector in addition to the existing electric connection of a house, Fesli et al (2009) generated 650 W of electric power from solar panels and 350 W of electric power from a wind turbine.…”

In this study, a battery-reinforced hybrid wind-solar power generation system of a size able to meet the electric power requirement for general illumination of the electric laboratory at Afyon IntroductionEnergy is the most important requirement in increasing the welfare level in the social life of humanity and the economic growth of countries. Energy sources used to meet energy needs and have changed during the historical process in parallel with technological developments. The reason for this is the steady increase in energy demand and steady decrease in fossil fuels used in energy consumption (Peidong et al., 2009). Greenhouse gas emitted during consumption of fossil fuels cause serious environmental problems and this disturbs people from all strata of society. Such energy sources cause global warming in addition to air pollution, formation of acid rain, and depletion of the ozone layer (Wai et al., 2008).Because of the consumable nature of energy sources, the existence of foreign dependency and the environmental effects, and the generation of cheap and clean energy in sufficient quantities for countries has become a current problem. For this reason, the efficient use of generated energy and good use of the potential for alternative and clean

“…Li, Wei, and Xiang (2012) developed a simple algorithm to determine the required number of generating units of wind-turbine generator and photovoltaic array, and the associated storage capacity for stand-alone hybrid micro grid. Soysal and Soysal (2008) have Downloaded by [New York University] at 15:29 08 February 2015 constructed a small-scale demonstration system, at Frostburg State University. They showed that in summer, the output energy of the system is mainly produced by the PV system; while in winter, the wind generator output becomes greater.…”

This article presents the development of a computational model for the sizing optimization of an off-grid hybrid solar wind electric power generation system. The model includes a PV model, wind power model, and a model for the required battery. The developed mathematical model also comprises a model for a diesel generator as an alternative for the storage battery. A simulation code has been developed using MATLAB to solve the mathematical model and simulate the performance of the hybrid system with different configuration for performance analysis and optimal sizing purpose. The mathematical model and the computer code have been developed using a general approach. This approach can be used to simulate, analyze and optimize any hybrid solar/wind/battery/diesel off-grid electric power generation systems. Also, it can be utilized for any remote area in the world depending on the weather data used as input to the developed simulation code. The results obtained via the presently developed model and code have been validated against previously published work and also against that obtained via the widely used software (HOMER). The model is used for the sizing optimization and assessment of a hybrid solar wind system based on the weather conditions for Dhahran city in the eastern province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
