A Hybrid System (Solar and Wind) Energy System for Remote Areas

––One of the primary needs for socio-economic development in any nation in the world is the provision of reliable electricity supply systems. This work is a development of an indigenous technology hybrid Solar -Wind Power system that harnesses the renewable energies in Sun and Wind to generate electricity. Here, electric DC energies produced from photovoltaic and wind turbine systems are transported to a DC disconnect energy Mix controller. The controller is bidirectional connected to a DC-AC float charging-inverter system that provides charging current to a heavy duty storage bank of Battery and at the same time produces inverted AC power to AC loads. In the designed model, solar PV module along with a wind turbine, the small prototype to create power. The hybrid setup could be operated in manual and automatic modes. The former mode consists of a RF transmitter and receiver setup and the latter is effectively controlled by means of a microcontroller. The entire setup can be extended for larger loads in order to electrify remote and inaccessible areas. Further, the project can be implemented in industrial and domestic sectors on a larger scale.
