Hybrid power generator based on wind, hydro and solar for use as an alternative solution for power supply

Abstract

The paper proposes the design of a hybrid generator based on wind, solar and/or hydro power. The proposed generator is intended to be used in areas where there is no power supply. Such a situation may be a house located in an isolated geographic area. Another application can be a portable hybrid generator. The existence of many geographic areas where it is not possible to expand the electric grids or isolated places in terms of relief, road access especially during the winter period leads to the necessity to use alternative electric sources. As an example, one can take into account the mountain area where the only access road is non-auto. Conventional alternative electrical sources require refuelling or are sources whose components are fixed and fitted permanently or are difficult to remove-mounted elsewhere. Often, component parts are considerable or require technical skill to be properly designed.
