HYBRID POWER GENERATION BY

SOLAR WIND
INTRODUCTION
It is possible that the world will face a global energy crisis due
to a decline in the availability of cheap oil and recommendations
to a decreasing dependency on fossil fuel. This has led to
increasing interest in alternate power/fuel research such as fuel
cell technology, hydrogen fuel, biodiesel, solar energy,
geothermal energy, tidal energy and wind. Today, solar energy
and wind energy have significantly alternated fossil fuel with big
ecological problems.

Why we use MPPT Charger Controller

Consider solar panel Kyocera KC 130. It is rated at 7.39 at 17.6

Its power output is 130 Watts .

Panel puts out 7.39 & battery charges under 12V

7.39 * 12V =88.8 Watts

We lost over 41 Watts. But we paid for 130 Watts.

To overcome this loss, we use MPPT Charger Controller.

Working of MPPT Charger Controller

Controller compares voltages of PV panel & Battery

Figure out best voltage to charge Battery

Example: Controller takes 17.6 Volts at 7.4 & gives output to

10.8 at 12Volts .

10.8 * 12Volts = 129.6 Watts

Now we still have almost 130 Watts.

Batteries

Stored the energy

Inverter
Converts stored DC power to AC
WORKING
Solar & Wind turbine produced DC power
Inverter convert DC to AC
Controller monitors the system
CHOICE OF COMPONENT
Choice of components For 1000 Watt Load

Solar Panel:
Total load = 1000W
Period of operation or duration = 12 Hours
Then, Total Watt-Hour = 100012= 12000W-hr
The period of the solar panel exposed to the sun = 8 Hours
(Averagely between 9am and 3pm)
Therefore solar panel wattage = 12000/8=1,500.
Hence solar panel of 1,500W will be needed for this design.
If solar panel of 150W is to be use the number of panels to arrange in
parallel to achieve 1,500 Watt will be:
No of panel =1500W/150=10
This shows 10 of 150 Watt solar panel will be required for this design
Charging Controllers:

For this design of 1000W solar power supply P=IV

Where
I is the expected charging current and
V is the voltage of the battery and V= 12 V
P is the power supply rating= 1000W
Hence I =/=1000/12=83.
Since the value 83.3 A Charging controllers is not readily
available in the market then 1000A charging controller will be
used.
Battery capacity:
Given that the total load P= 1000W and

Operational period = 12 Hours

Watt-hour capacity = 12,000 W-hr

To make the chosen battery to last long it is assumed that only a

quarter () of the battery capacity will be made used of so that it

will not be over discharged therefore hence the required batter
capacity will be
12, 000 4 = 48,000 W-hr

Now the choice of battery hour depends on A-H rating of the

storage battery.
For example 1500AH, 12V batteries the number of batteries that will

be needed is 48000/1500 = 32 batteries. Hence, for this design ,

1500AH 12V battery should be used, Therefore the total number of
storage battery required for 1000W solar power supply system = 32
Inverter
Since the total load is 1000W it is advisable to size the required
inverter to be 1500W as designed for solar panel ratings. Hence
1500W pure sign wave inverter is recommended in other to
prolong the lifespan of the inverter.

Hotels
Business (Institutions and Government)
Large Estate Houses
Factories and manufacturing facilities
Commercial Power generation
Street lighting
ADVANTAGES
Very high reliability (combines wind power, and solar power)
Long term Sustainability
High energy output (since both are complimentary to each
other)
Cost saving (only one time investment)
Low maintenance cost (there is nothing to replace)
Long term warranty
No pollution
Clean and pure energy
Provides un-interrupted power supply to the equipment
The system gives quality power out-put DC to charge directly the
storage battery or provide AC.
The system can be designed for both off-grid and on grid
applications.
Efficient and easy installation, longer life
DISADVANTAGES
Large number of harmonics is produced.
Initial investment is more.
Large space is required for larger generations
Wind energy systems are noisy in operation; a large unit can be
heard many kilometers away.
Efficiency is less than conventional power plants.
CONCLUSION
By this project many villages can be lighted. For villages which
are much away from the construction site of large power
generating stations such as hydro and nuclear can be provided
power.
Also to satisfied the increasing demand of electricity with clean
hybrid power station by solar wind can be used.
