Development of small scale PV and Wind hybrid energy system by utilizing the solar and exhausted air resources in poultry farm

Project Title

Development of small scale PV and Wind hybrid energy system by utilizing the solar and exhausted air resources in poultry farm

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

One of the most important problems in developing countries like Pakistan are facing today is in power sector. Despite growing economy and rising demand of electricity, no serious efforts have been made to install new capacity of generation. So, developing off-grid micro generation system are imperative to meet the load requirement. Poultry sector is the widespread chicken supplier. Shifting their power requirement to hybrid standalone system by using both solar and wasted air of exhaust fan resources will lead to lessor their expenditures as well as a relief for the utility. The use of the proposed system in Pakistani context is extremely beneficial to store energy for later use and to reduce electricity bills.One of the most important problems in developing countries like Pakistan are facing today is in power sector.

Project Objectives

1. Generating the energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and reduces some types of air pollution.
2. Diversifying energy supply and reducing dependence on utility or grid.
3. Optimization analysis to find the configuration that gives least cost of energy for minimum capital investment and net present value.

Project Implementation Method

This  project was in two steps ;

1. Software

2. Hardware 

Re quired hardware and software:

                              Software:

• ETAP or dig silent power factory

                              Hardware

The basic components of the hybrid system are the wind plant and the PV system. Others are additional/auxiliary components which help for full time functioning of the hybrid system. The power conditioners are set of power electronics converters which enable to handle the variability of wind and solar resources. They are composed of DC/DC, AC/DC, DC/AC converters.                                       

• Solar photovoltaic cell
• Wind turbine
• AC to DC convertor
• Storage batteries
• AC to DC invertor

                       

Benefits of the Project

social impacts:

Social aspects are the basic consideration for development of any country. The following social benefits can be achieved by using hybrid energy system: Local employment, Better health and job opportunities. The study concluded that the total emission reduction of corban footprint is exponentially increasing in different years after installation of renewable projects in remote areas.

Technology	Impact	Magnitude
Photovoltaic	Toxins	Minor-Major
	Visual	Minor
Wind	Bird strike	Minor
	Noise	Minor
	Visual	Minor

Environmental impacts:

The two main aspects of environment are air and water pollution. Along with water pollution, natural resources can be maintained and greenhouse effect and air pollution can be mitigated by the proper usage of renewable energy sources

Category of impact	Relationship to conventional sources	Comment
	Exposure to harmful chemicals
Emission of Hg, Cd, and other toxic elements	Reduced emissions	Emission reduced a few hundred times.
Emission of particles	Reduced emissions	Much less emission.
	Exposure to harmful gases
CO2 emission	Reduced emissions	A big advantage.
Acid rain, SO, NOx	Reduced emissions	Reduced more than 25 times.
Other greenhouse gases	Reduced greenhouse gases	Big advantage-global warming.
