Hybrid Power Generation by Using Solar and Wind Energy Hybrid Power Generation Applicable To Future Electric Vehicle

Abstract

The objective of this concept is to generate electric power from windmill and solar panel and synchronizing with EB power supply. Nowadays power demand is increased highly so need the alternate power source it is very useful to generate the electrical power from natural resources in order to compensate the electric power demand. The hybrid power generation is a new innovative concept which have designed in this project. It is one of the non conventional energy; here generating the power supply from the natural resources and also during un availability of natural resources the EB power supply is used for the load and excessive generation of solar, wind mill supply is exported to the grid of the EB supply at any voltage level. This project is designed with the following parts are wind mill arrangement, solar panel, dynamo, rectifier, filter andbattery and connected to the Electricity Board supply. Working Principle: Wind mill arrangement is the mechanical arrangements which are easily rotated. The rotating speed depends upon the wind strength. The windmill arrangements and solar panel arrangements are fixed as shown in the figure. The solar panel will get the energy from the direct sunlight the generated power from the solar panel is directly connected to the control unit and charged to the battery. The wind mill arrangement is coupled with the dynamo. The fan shaft which is coupled with the dynamo shaft is used to generate the electricity power from the generator. The electric power is generated through the dynamo. The generated electric power is the alternating voltage. The AC voltage given to the rectifier circuit will convert into DC voltage. Then the rectified voltage is given to filter circuit to remove the ripple voltage. After the filtration the pure DC voltage is given to battery through the charging circuit. The stored DC voltage can be used to different application and the excessive energy is connected to the grid using energy meter for reading purpose. During the non-availability of wind mill, Solar panel will supply the load which is fed from EB supply. Advantages  Power generation is double  Reduce the power demand  Easy to implement  Used in many areas  Uninterrupted power supply Disadvantages  Cost is high  Solar power is not available during night time  Used for lighting purpose only  If used for power loads initial cost is very high.
