Fabrication of Compact Renewable Energy System Powered by Wind–Solar Energy
摘要
Non-renewable energy demands are increasing hour by the hour which cannot be fulfilled. However, the demands can be compromised through the advancements in renewable energy technologies. Electricity is the prime need for human beings. Most current conventional energy resources are depleting day by day, which is why we need to shift from conventional to non-conventional energy resources. Renewable energy such as solar and wind are very suitable due to their eco-friendly nature but are unreliable due to the stochastic nature of their occurrence. Renewable energy integration has attracted widespread attention due to its zero cost, cleanliness, availability, and ease of installation. In this regard, a study is performed through the fabrication of two energy resources, i.e., wind and solar energies to fulfil the residential demand for up to 10 kW. This process reveals sustainable energy resources without hampering the environment. Photo-voltaic is used for transforming solar energy, and wind turbines are used for transforming wind energy into electricity. This article discusses the design of a compact system comprised of solar and wind energies technology to harness the residential load up to 10 kW. Earlier the technologies used in this regard are quite successful, but this article would be a harbinger of the new evolution in the field of fabrication of wind–solar energy. The compact design will be fabricated through a set of PV arrays, a bladeless wind turbine (heart of the system), and MPPT solar and wind hybrid controller. In this projected system, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are harnessed for a generation. Here, in this research, constant voltage method is applied for the highest power transfer. This technology would increase the efficiency and stableness of the compact system. The whole design will be simulated through SAM version 2021.12.2 software. The simulation of the compact system will enlighten us about economic feasibility in comparison with the grid and diesel-powered energy methods. The article is also concerned about the affordable cost of electricity generation, without hampering the ecological balance. The overall system is fabricated as per the ecosystem of India, and seasonal variation and market acceptance are being closely cited for the best possible results.
