Hybrid Power System

Abstract

Energy is one of the most important factors in the country's development and advancement. Several developed countries are facing issues in the production of energy. When we come to electricity, it is the most important source for running all kinds of machinery and industries. Across the world thermal power production is the most commonly used method. But it causes a lot of pollution and many resources are consumed. To avoid all these issues, the world is looking for the best renewable energy sources like wind, solar power productions. This project mainly focusses on design of an integrated setup of wind turbine and solar panel to form a hybrid energy source which is installed over the pole. When it's sunny outside, wind energy can be used to illuminate solar panels, and wind energy can also be used at night and on cloudy or rainy days. Together, the two processes produce a significant amount of electric energy, which solar cells store for use as nighttime lighting . We considered the mono crystalline solar panels(The required no. of cells would be based on the application part) such that the capacity lies between 260-280W. We made sure that the solar inverter capacity would be around 200W. We have chosen the wind turbine generator of 60W capacity. Accordingly, we have considered the solar battery of 12V. And finally, a converter which converts DC to AC.
