Development of Hybrid Power Generation System Using Solar and Wind Energy

Abstract

Electricity is one of the most important things for our daily lives in today\'s technology-driven environment. We are all unaware of the reality that renewable energy sources are exhausting at a breakneck pace. So it\'s time to switch our attention from conventional to unconventional energy sources in order to generate electricity. When compared to traditional sources, non-conventional sources produce less electricity overall. The environment is not harmed by the use of renewable resources. In essence, a solar-wind hybrid system combines a solar energy plant with a wind energy plant. It will contribute to ensuring a steady supply of power. The hybrid system can be applied to both household and commercial settings. Solar-wind hybrid structures are essentially a combination of wind and sun power flowers. The main rotor shaft of horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) is a particular design of wind turbine. One benefit of this configuration is that solar panels and generators can both be installed near to the ground, creating a hybrid system. This electricity can be used for a variety of things. At a reasonable price, electricity will be generated. The goal of this project is to generate electricity from two sources simultaneously at a low cost without endangering the delicate balance of nature.

Introduction

The hybrid energy system combines multiple renewable energy sources—primarily solar and wind power—to generate electricity efficiently and reliably. Energy generated is stored in batteries to ensure continuous power supply regardless of weather conditions. Solar energy powers the system on sunny days, while wind energy is used when it’s cloudy or windy. This combination addresses the intermittent nature of each source, overcoming their individual limitations.

The system uses horizontal axis wind turbines based on aerodynamic principles to maximize wind energy capture. It integrates solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, inverters, and supporting components to deliver sustainable, low-cost, and low-maintenance energy.

Hybrid systems offer environmental benefits by reducing carbon emissions and dependence on traditional fossil fuels, whose usage is declining. They are especially valuable for powering remote or rural areas and improving grid reliability.

Research and development focus on optimizing turbine designs, vibration analysis, and improving system efficiency. The proposed system aims to generate power continuously over long periods, with flexibility to operate one or both energy sources depending on conditions.

Applications include distributed power generation, electrification of remote areas, public lighting, and powering facilities like hospitals and hotels. Overall, hybrid renewable energy systems provide a promising sustainable alternative for clean energy generation with economic and ecological advantages.

Conclusion

Comparing hybrid systems to non-renewable energy sources, hybrid systems are one of the most practical and efficient ways to generate power. It is not only less expensive, but it also has no negative environmental effects. In steep places, where it is challenging to distribute electricity using traditional means, it can also be utilised to create electricity. Its setup can be chosen based on the requirements. To a certain extent, all individuals on the planet should be encouraged to manufacture their own electricity from unconventional resources. Some of its advantages include a long lifespan and minimal maintenance. Simply said, a sizable upfront expenditure is necessary. We must all be encouraged to employ precise resources to generate electricity in order to put strength to use globally. give them confidence in a specific quantity. Longer lifespans tend to spread, and one of its primary causes is less protection. It only needs a few significant upfront investments. As we realise that the hybrid vehicle uses the available resources in a sustainable manner while still having a higher unit manufacturing cost. This hybrid device is also capable of escaping any unforeseen or undesirable circumstances. Moreover, hybrid machines are able to satisfy the need for rural and motorway areas. Thus, it is obvious that the hybrid device is the top pick.
