Hybrid Energy Generation through Vertical axis MAG turbine and Solar Panel

Abstract

The power demand in our country is increased so that there is a consistent power cut in rural areas. This is because of high power consumption by factories and also due to less availability of non-renewable energy resources. So it is a known fact that the application of hybrid renewable energy system to generate power at economic, quick, reliable answer to the rural household’s need for power. This Solar-wind energy system can be considerably reducing of our power requirement in rural areas. But, the wind speed is varying both day and night time the produced electricity through horizontal axis wind turbine. To overcome this, issue the vertical axis Savonius Wind Turbine (SWT) with guide vanes has been introduced for producing electricity at low wind speed (cut in speed approximately 3m/s) by combining both SWT and solar photo-voltaic (PV), the hybrid design had been fabricated. The hybrid controller has been selected for the rated power output of the proposed system. In this study, the power generation through Vertical VASWT and PV hybrid system achieved the overall efficiency of 22% for the stand alone system for electricity generation. In this study the optimized design of VASWT has been selected and the performance study has been done with addition of PV panel and modified automobile car alternator
