INTRODUCTION
We require electricity for operating almost all the appliances we use in our day to day life.
So it has become an indispensable part of our life. Now there are two ways to produce electricity
first by using non-renewable sources of energy and second by renewable sources of energy. With
increase in population and advancement of technology, consumption of electricity is also
increasing exponentially. Simultaneously, we have to increase the production of electricity also
in order to meet the demands of growing population. The biggest disadvantage with the usage of
conventional resources is that their usage causes pollution due to the production of various
pollutants like ash in case of a coal power plant, smoke in case of diesel power plant, radioactive
material in case of nuclear power plant. Maintaining these pollutants is not an easy task and it
also requires a lot of money. So we have to find some other methods to produce electricity. The
best possible way is by using non-conventional sources of energy. Out of all the possible options
available in non-conventional sources of energy, solar and wind are the best methods. As tidal
energy can be used only on the sea shores, ocean thermal energy can used in the middle of the
sea and its setup is also very difficult. While solar and wind are available in all the areas of the
world and setting up their power plant is also not a cumbersome task. The availability of solar
energy is a major concern, as it is available for around 8 hours in a day, on the other hand wind is
available almost for 24 hours. But we can do one thing to make up for that problem by
integrating these two together. During foul weather conditions one of them can be used while
during normal weather both can be operated together. So in this paper we will be describing a
solar-wind hybrid power system.

Literature Survey
1. Ali Diabat (2014) et al
Among the wide range of problems facing our world today, there is global consensus that
greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions have the largest negative impact on our environment. GHGs
include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydro fluorocarbons and per
fluorocarbons. These gases help maintain the temperature of the earth at comfortable levels for
organisms, and a decrease in their levels would result in a temperature that could be too low for
us to survive. However, because GHGs allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere, but trap the heat
radiated off the earth’s surface, an increase in these emissions would result in an increase of the
planet’s temperature, or global warming, to levels that could be fatal to living organisms. Many
scientists also believe that the increase in natural disasters is fueled by climate change, since
atmospheric and oceanic patterns shift as the Earth’s temperature increases.
reveal that the hybrid plant is able to exploit the complementary nature of the two energy
sources, and deliver energy reliably throughout the year.

METHODOLOGY
3.1Working Principle:
Dynamo Generator through shaft in driven gear. The Generator shaft is rotated and same torque
is produced. The Generator generates current and the power will be stored to the battery.
mountable unit. In the back of the module there is a junction box, or wire leads, providing
electrical connections. 36 cell modules are the industry standard for large power production.
• Solar panels are devices which absorbs sunlight as a source of energy to generate
electricity.
• A single solar module can produce only limited amount of power , most installations
contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes array of photovoltaic
modules, an inverter, a battery pack of storage, interconnection wiring.
• Dimension 46cm×16cm.
• Weight 1.2Kg.
3.4.3 Battery:
Battery is another significant part of our design. These devices store the DC energy from
PV panel in chemical form, and when needed converts the stored chemical energy to
electrical energy as shown in the fig 3.4.
• 12 V 7.5 Ah rechargeable battery
• Weighs approximately around 2-3 kg.
• It is a type of rechargeable battery in which lead move from negative electrode to the
positive electrode during discharge and back when charging.
3.4.4 Shaft:
The wind-turbine shaft is connected to the center of the rotor. When the rotor spins, the shaft
spins as well. In this way, the rotor transfers its mechanical, rotational energy to the shaft, which
enters an electrical generator on the other end.
• Material mild steel
• Outer dia 45mm
• Inner dia 40mm
1. Bridge Rectifier:
Rectifiers are used to convert the AC power from the wind turbine to DC power to be used in the
charging of batteries and supplying DC loads. These are normally in cooperated in the wind
turbines designed for off-grid operation.
2. Capacitor:
Capacitor are used to control the input power and for the easy storage to the battery

The Solar cell Power Conversion Efficiency can be calculated by using the relation,

The output power Pout = V x I
Pin= 500 x 10-3 W/cm2 x 46cm x 16cm
= 368 watt.
Pout = V x I = 12 x 7.5 = 90 watt.

TESTING
The Hybrid power generation system was tested for the following purpose:
The system was tested on 22/05/2019. It was placed on the top of the building and we have
observed it for 3 different conditions by taking 3 trails during morning, afternoon and
evening. The wind speed is taken by the use of anemometer (m/s) and rotor rotating speed is
calculated by using tachometer (RPM) and power produced in the system is observed by
using multimeter and power output is calculated. For the solar panel we have placed it in
sunlight at 1pm -2pm and observed the power generation in multimeter. The corresponding
taken are as shown in the Table5.1.

Fig 6.1:
Wind velocity v/s power output
As shown in the above Fig 6.1 the wind output power increasing with the increase in the wind
velocity. The wind velocity is dependent on atmosphere condition i.e. due to the variation in the
air density. As per the performance test conducted its shows that the output power from wind
generation increases with the wind speed only.

7.1 Conclusion:
This project work has provided us an excellent opportunity and experience, to use our
limited knowledge. We gained a lot of practical knowledge regarding, planning, purchasing,
assembling and machining while doing this project work. We feel that the project work is a good
solution to bridge the gates between institution and industries.
We are proud that we have completed the work with the limited time
successfully. The Solar and Wind Hybrid Power Generation System is working with
satisfactory conditions. We are able to understand the difficulties in maintaining the tolerances
and also quality. We have done to our ability and skill making maximum use of available
facilities.
In conclusion remarks of our project work, let us add a few more lines about our
impression project work.
Thus we have developed a “Solar and Wind Hybrid Power Generation System” which helps
to know how to achieve non-conventional power generation. By using more techniques, they can
be modified and developed according to the applications.
Majorly the low wind speeds provided the biggest challenge in the design of the system.
This can be improved by the use of taller towers which come with extra costs. The success of the
stand-alone hybrid power systems is dependent on user being well informed. Many such systems
have failed because the user thought they could get more than they could actually get from the
system. Hence proper user education should be done to ensure the success of the system.
The ministry of energy should work with the meteorological department to provide precise
data on wind and solar resource that could help in designing of more such systems that can help
elevate rural areas economies.
Combination of improved technology and economies of scale has pushed down the cost of
renewable energy technologies. Renewable energy technologies are already the least cost
electrification option in rural areas even without internalizing environmental costs. The initial
high costs are offset by the low operational and maintenance cost and the longer expected useful
life of renewable energy technologies.
