Project Title

Integration of PV Solar Panels and Wind Turbine System using charge controller

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

The hybrid Solar-wind system allows to conserve power in different weather conditions. For example, the solar system consumes a great amount of energy coming from the sun during daytime (mostly in summers). However, the wind turbines capture the power they get from the air during nighttime (majorly in winters). Due to the fact that solar and wind power is intermittent and unpredictable in nature, higher penetration of their types in existing power system could cause and create high technical challenges especially to weak grids or stand-alone systems without proper and enough storage capacity. By integrating the two renewable resources into an optimum combination, the impact of the variable nature of solar and wind resources can be partially resolved and the overall system becomes more reliable and economical to run .Also use batteries to store charge in it for backup.Use of charge controller when solar and wind integrate through the controller it manage both power and give one combine output and manage both energies equally.

Project Objectives

In brief, the objectives are: Ø Wind power generation Ø Solar power generation Ø Storage of generated solar power Ø To Design a suitable charger for battery Ø Make a wind-solar hybrid power system Ø Display electrical power output using a LED lighting system Wind Power Generation: To extract energy from wind and to convert that energy into electrical power, we need a Wind Turbine setup which can convert the mechanical power into electrical power.

Project Implementation Method

Hardware

Benefits of the Project Despite the importance of power, many live without access to this fundamental resource and there is no single technology that addresses the world's energy needs. Moreover, the need for a future built around a renewable energy ecosystem is well documented. 

Fortunately, there have been significant technological advancements in the energy space that give promise to fulfilling this need.

At the forefront of renewable energy development is solar power and wind power. Again, neither hold the answer on their own but collectively the two compliment one another nicely. The third, and critical element of this equation is energy storage, where again, there have been considerable improvements made in recent years, with significant headroom for future development.

The following narrative demonstrates the benefits of a hybrid energy system where the principal components, solar panels and wind turbines, work in conjunction with energy storage.

Due to limited sunlight hours during the day, a solar system designed to provide 24 hours worth of power must generate that in approximately 1/5 of the day. Therefore, the system would need to generate enough power in ~5 hours to last 24, with the ability to store at least 19 hours worth of energy.

When a wind machine that can make power around the clock is added to the solar system, the size of the solar and, more importantly, the storage system can be dramatically reduced, resulting in lower cost with higher energy density and a smaller carbon footprint (fewer chemical batteries = good for the environment).

In fact, when a wind machine is added to a solar system, the size and cost of that solar system and its storage system will be reduced to a point where the savings equal or exceed the cost of the wind machine.

To illustrate this point, for example if we look at a hypothetical model that needs to generate and deliver an average of 20+ kW per hour, or approx 500 kWh per day, here are a couple potential scenarios using just solar + storage, and solar + wind + storage

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

  Now a days Hybrid Solar and Wind System is more reliable and also affordable. In Pakistan less research done according this project so i have decide to do work on it. Give people comfort also get rid from power plant of gases they can harm our country. If we use renewable energy instead of gases so it protects our environment as well as save cost of billing per month. It is one time cost project, after you can easily use it 5 to 6 years without any big maintenance.  A solar-wind hybrid power system uses solar insolation and wind energy to produce electricity. As both solar radiation and wind speed vary throughout the year, neither solar nor wind based system can provide reliable electricity individually. Wind speed remains fairly high during June to August when solar insolation is low due to cloud cover. So the concept of hybrid system is because when one system is not able to produce electricity in large amount then other give it support to manage desire output that's why it is good for use in summer as well as winter and cloudy weather.Using renewable energy sources like wind and solar for power generation has helped in reducing carbon footprints and made power available to non-electrified remote areas. A hybrid power system that combines the benefits of both sources can improve the reliability and stability of the grid to deliver non-intermittent electric power. Solar-wind hybrid systems combine two of the fastest growing renewable energy technologies. Such a concept has emerged due to the complementary nature of solar and wind. Solar, due to its dependence on sunlight can produce power only during the day, probably from 8 am – 6 pm.
