Project Summary

Summary:
"Hybrid System Power Utilization With Load Management" the project is based on the phenomenon of changing the electric power source from one to another when we have a specified load. This Hybrid system contains Solar (for heavy load), Windmill (for burst load), Battery (for regular load) and Utility (for basic load). The Net Metering process is used for saving the surplus energy generated when we have less load demand. The project is more efficient than the current Hybrid System. Comparably it is of low cost. It is also expected to minimize the Utility bill and is able to minimize the overall cost of the system within five years. We are going to have a research paper containing results from Simulink, Overall cost estimation of the system, Energy Generated, Energy consumed and the Net Metering energy.

The system is divided into four cases.

Case-1:
If we have the heavey load, solar will utilize for load (If solar not available will switch to windmill). At that time if Wind energy is available will use for Net Metering and Utility will use for battery charging.

Case-2:
If we have the Burst load, windmill will utilize for load (If not will switch to Solar if solar also not available will switch to Utility). At that time if Solar energy is available will use for Net Metering and Utility will use for battery charging.

Case-3:
If we have the Regular load, Battery will utilize for load (If not available will switch to Windmill if windmill also not available will switch to Solar If Solar also not available will switch to Utility). At that time if Solar energy is available will use for Net Metering and windmill will use for battery charging.

Case-4:
If we have the Basic load, Utility will utilize for load (If not available will switch to Battery if Battery also not available will switch to Windmill If Windmill also not available will switch to solar if solar not available will switch to Utility). At that time if Solar energy is available will use for Net Metering and windmill will use for battery charging.

Project Objectives

Objectives:
• To generate green energy by using Hybrid System contains Solar, Wind, Battery and Utility.
• To generate power for such remote areas where the dependency of those areas on Utility Power can be minimized.
• To reduces cost of the hybrid system comparable to the same Power Hybrid system. 

Project Implementation Method

Implementation:
We are going to design Hybrid system of 3KW. The project will be implemented both in Hardware and Software as well.

Hardware:

We have 8 outputs from arduino listed below.
1. Solar utilize for load
2. Wind utilize for load
3. Battery utilize for load
4. Utility utilize for load
5. Solar Net Metering
6. Windmill Net Metering
7. Battery Charge by windmill
8. Battery charge by Utility


Software:
The project has been implemented in Proteus in order to run arduino uno in Hardware. It will also simulate in Simulink for the sake to get graphs and results in order to calculate the total power generated per day/month, the power consumed per day/month and the total power Delivered to Utility through Net Metering process.

Benefits of the Project

Benefits:
• It reduces power crisis by using more and more system like these.
• Can install this system for both Residential (small scale) and Commercial (large scale) use.
• It saves the surplus energy generated through Net Metering process when there is small load.
• It minimizes the overall Utility bill (per month) and overall cost of the Hybrid System within 5-years.
