Application of indirect battery charging control system in hybrid small power plant

Abstract

Electrical energy is a basic human need and its use continues to increase, it is necessary to seek and utilize alternative to meet these energy needs, among others, by combining wind energy and solar energy. In its application, this hybrid power plant requires a battery as a storage medium and a controller as a regulator. There is a controller designed for the direct control type, where the electrical energy from the power plant to the hybrid source will not be directly channeled to the battery but through the MOSFET first, so that charging and disbursement of power consumption on the battery can be regulated. When the battery is fully charged, the system voltage controller will read the parameters to be adjusted and will disconnect the hybrid power source to the battery to prevent overcharge. The controller switches and regulates battery power usage to the load. The battery charging control system uses the PWM method using a MOSFET as the driving circuit and the ATMega 32 microcontroller as the system controller.
