In modern time, wind power technology has been growing widely. With the incorporation of
Wind turbines together with the electrical grid, it is necessary for the system operators to
know the behavior of wind turbine under all the operating areas of interest in the power
system such as calculation of wind speed, modelling, control and stability analysis of the
wind system connected with electric grids are of importance in the modern power system.
The problem related to the various effects of wind energy when integrated with the power
system on the stability of the system is gaining more interest of researchers because of
increasing of its penetration level. In this project review on various effects of wind power
incorporation on the power system stability and several methods for the enhancement of the
small signal stability of wind system integrated with electric grid with solar energy system is
presented.
This approach leads self-sufficiency in electricity and provides pollution free electrical
energy to the consumers. This project reports the design approach of the system development
including the cost factors involved.
UNIQUE EFFICIENT WAY USAGE OF WIND ENERGY ALONG WITH SOLAR
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Wind is the indirect form of solar energy and is always being replenished by the sun
energy. Wind energy is associated with the kinetic energy of flowing wind. It is created from
point where the sun's radiation, which in combination with other factors such as tilt and
displacement of the Earth in Space or we can say that it is caused due to differential heating
of the earth’s surface by the sun. Winds are essentially caused by the solar heating of the
atmosphere. They carry enormous quantity energy. Wind power has been used for centuries
to sail vessels, pump water, and grind wheat and corn. But now a days every year the winds
provide 26000 trillion kwh of which one-third is recoverable. Wind as a source of power
because it is plentiful, inexhaustible, renewable, and non-polluting. There is no depletion of
scarce resources. Wind blows for 365 days in a year and this gives them an advantages over
sunlight energy. Unfortunately this source of power is non steady and unreliable. There is
wide variations in the speed and direction of winds. Wind is the indirect form of solar energy
and is always being replenished by the sun energy. Wind energy is associated with the kinetic
energy of flowing wind. It is created from point where the sun's radiation, which in
combination with other factors such as tilt and displacement of the Earth in Space or we can
say that it is caused due to differential heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Indian wind
speed lies between 5km/hr to 15-20 km/hr. India has potential of over 20000MW of power.
A wind generator develops lesser power in summer than in winter at the same wind speed as
the air has lower density in summer than in winter. A wind generator produces lesser power
in higher altitudes as air pressure as well as air density is lower than that at lower altitudes.
Vankusawade Wind Park in Maharashtra of 259MW.
The sun is the primary source of energy. Solar energy appears to be the most
promising among the non conventional sources of energy. In Country like India 3200km of
equator, use of such energy can be economically significant. The use of solar energy is
therefore of special important for India. Most of the areas in India receives high intensity
fairly uniform sunshine for 6 to 8 hours a day and roughly 10 months a year. Solar energy is
already being used in many advanced countries, both for domestics and commercial purposes
such as water heating, water distillation, drying etc. A solar powered pump is more friendly
and economical in its operation, the energy produced by solar cells is used. Wind and solar
energy provides a viable and environmentally friendly option and national energy security at
a time when decreasing global reserves of fossil fuels resources threatens the long-term
sustainability of global economy.
The wind is a free, clean and inexhaustible energy source. The wind is non-conventional
and renewable, significant sustainable energy source. It was the first natural source used
by the mankind. It is one of the most environment friendly and economically viable
source of energy. Wind is nothing but an air set in motion. Wind power causes no air as
well as water pollution. Also, the electricity produced from wind power do not emit CO2
hence no greenhouse effect observed. The wind energy harnessed as mechanical energy
can be used for two purposes;
For the operation of mechanical devices like water pumps, appliances useful for
forming or
For the generation of electrical power.
In general, over the land area of earth, the wind energy generated is about 1.65 x 10
kWh.The kinetic energy of wind can be easily converted to electrical energy. The
characteristics of wind are as follows, In hilly and coastal areas, the average wind speed
is greater than that in land. The wind tends to blow more constantly and with greater
strength over the surface of water as the surface drag is less. The wind speed increases
with increase in height. Because as height increases, the dragging effect of the earth's
surface reduces. The wind power Pw depends on area of the rotor, density of air and wind
speed. The mathematical expression is
Pw = ½ p A Vm3
All life on earth is supported by the sun. This amazing resource radiates energy and
provides us both heat and light by fusing hydrogen into helium at its core. We call this solar
radiation. Only about half of this solar radiation makes it to the Earth’s surface. The rest is
either absorbed or reflected by clouds and the atmosphere. Still, we receive enough power
from the sun to meet the power demands of all mankind millions of times over. Solar energy
power from the sun is a vast, inexhaustible, and clean resource.
Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and businesses,
for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of other
commercial and industrial uses. Most critical, given the growing concern over climate
change, is the fact that solar electricity generation represents a clean alternative to electricity
from fossil fuels, with no air and water pollution, no global warming pollution, no risks of
electricity price spikes, and no threats to our public health.
The solar resource is enormous. According to the Department of Energy, the amount of
sunlight that strikes the earth’s surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire
world’s energy consumption for a full year. Just 18 days of sunshine on Earth contains the
same amount of energy as is stored in all of the planet’s reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas.
And, once a system is in place to harness the solar resource and convert it into useful energy,
the fuel is free.
According to many renewable energy experts, a small "hybrid" electric system that
combines home wind electric and home solar electric (photovoltaic or PV) technologies
offers several advantages over either single system.Wind speeds are low in the summer when
the sun shines brightest and longest. The wind is strong in the winter when less sunlight is
available. Because of the peak operating times for wind and solar systems occur at different
times of the day and year, hybrid systems are more likely to produce power when you need
it.
Many hybrid systems are stand-alone systems, which operate "off-grid" that is, not connected
to an electricity distribution system. For the times when neither the wind nor the solar system
is producing, most hybrid systems provide power through batteries and/or an engine
generator powered by conventional fuels, such as diesel. If the batteries run low, the engine
generator can provide power and recharge the batteries.
1.5 Objectives
Metal frame convert low wind speed to high wind speed (low velocity wind to High
velocity wind speed).
Turbines convert wind energy into rotary mechanical energy. A mechanical interface,
consisting of a step-up gear and a suitable coupling transmits the energy to an
electrical generator.
Generator converts the mechanical energy from high speed shaft to the electrical
energy and the output is given to the load.
Yaw mechanism is necessary to rotate the metal Frame according to wind direction. It
includes the yaw motor and yaw drive. A yaw drive keeps rotor into the wind in order
to generate maximum power. A yaw motor supplies power to yaw drive.
Various Electronics converters are used like DC to DC converter and DC to AC
Converter. It helps in converting variable DC to Fixed DC. DC-to-DC converters
which are designed to maximize the energy harvest for photovoltaic systems and
for wind turbines.
Mechanical Brakes it is used to stop or halt turbine blades during maintenance or any
emergency. Generally hydraulic disc brakes or mechanical friction brakes we are
using in our project.
Solar panel operates at its peak time during day and the stored energy during peak
evening hours when electricity rates are high or in case of any grid failure.
Because it’s green energy, it will reduce carbon emission which will in-turn reduce
the ill effects like global warming and etc.

LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 Literature survey.
“Literature Review on Hybrid Solar And Wind Powered Electric Vehicle Using Sepic
Converter” Thrishna Jayaraj PG Scholar, Department of Electrical and Electronics Vimal
Jyothi Engineering College in the year June 28,2018, It is based on hybrid Solar and wind
power electric vehicle, where it combines both the wind and solar power systems. Hence
obtained output. which can be given to drive a dc motor. The entire system is mounted on the
vehicle. To avoid the risk of unpredicted climatic conditions, like temperature, irradiance etc;
It is about 30-40% of the solar radiation is converted to electrical energy. By tracking the
maximum power, thus improves the efficiency of the solar panel, From the rotation of the
blades, extracts wind and thus exploit it to fabricate electricity. Based on wind turbine, they
can be classifieds broadly into two, horizontal and vertical wind turbine. It is seen that the
power production increases with increase in wind speed.

“Literature Review of Ocean Current Turbine” By the authors Noor Rahman, Saeed
Badshah, Abdur Rafai, Mujahid Badshah. In the year 11 Nov 2014. The researchers’ aims to
replace the present fossils fuel energy resources with some alternative green, clean and
sustainable energy resources. Renewable energy resources are the most favourable and safe
energy resources for the earth future. But most renewable energy resources like solar and
wind are not available round the clock during 24 hours. In past few decades the researchers
have identified a new source of renewable energy in the form of ocean energy to generate
clean energy for the earth in the future. The ocean energy is available round the clock. Its
green, renewable, reliable, sustainable and durable and is available on a very large scale. The
ocean hides a huge useful energy more than from the wind energy, because the density of the
water is 800 times greater than the air density. It is about 3 times greater than the air/wind
density. Recently a new idea about ducted ocean current turbine is under the progress to

increase the power production from the ocean current energy . They also find that a designed
arrangement of these turbines will ensure more power production from the ocean current.
This designed arrangement of turbines will lead to the generation of marine turbine park deep
in the sea. In fact of all these researches and projects the Ocean Current Turbine development
is still in the developing phase with a strong promise to the future renewable energy share in
the energy sector. Hence advance precautions must to take to avoid the bad impact of the
ocean current turbine on our earth environment.

generator is connected to the load or system grid.
The wind turbine captures the wind’s kinetic energy in a rotor mechanically coupled to an
electrical generator. The turbine is mounted on free space to enhance the energy capture.
Numerous wind turbines are installed at one site to build a wind farm of the desired power
generation capacity. Wind energy is one of the lowest-priced renewable energy technologies
available today. Wind turbines can also be built on farms thus benefiting the economy in
rural areas. Farmers can continue to use their land because the wind turbines use only a small
fraction of the land. Wind power plant owners make rent payments to the farmer for the use
of the land.

It converts the mechanical energy from high speed shaft to the electrical energy and
the output is given to the load. A DC generator is an electromechanical energy conversion
device that converts mechanical power into DC electrical power through the process of
electromagnetic induction. A DC generator operates on the principle of electromagnetic
induction i.e. when the magnetic flux linking a conductor changes, an EMF is induced in the
conductor. A DC generator has a field winding and an armature winding. The EMF induced
in the armature winding of a DC generator is alternating one and is converted into direct
voltage using a commutator mounted on the shaft of the generator. The armature winding of
DC Generator is placed on the rotor whereas the field winding is placed on the stator.

Some location may not be windy enough to generate the power from wind mill. Some
places get enough wind, but it changes its wind direction, so our proposed model
should work under any change in the
Wind direction for the above problem we concluded that we are using wind vane
which will measure the wind flow direction and the output of this is given to the
control unit which rotates the proposed model.
Sunlight falls on the earth 24 hours a day. But in a particular place, sunlight received
is only 12-14 hours a day which may vary according to different continents. Keeping
this in mind we try to generate electricity using the solar UV rays which are available
during the particular time using PV models.
Hence our proposed model converts wind speed more than three times than the
natural wind flow in the surroundings and is connected to the solar energy system
which is more efficient.
5.3 Advantages.
5.4 Limitations
1. The wind energy is irregular, inconsistent and unsteady with variable speeds, hence
the wind energy needs to be stored.
2. The wind energy has low energy density.
3. The wind energy conversion systems are noisy in operation.
4. Large area is needed for installation as well as operation of the wind plants.
5. It has high capital cost per kWh.
5.5 Applications.
1. Used in remote agriculture lands for irrigation and water pumping with Hybrid
system along with solar system.
2. Used in multi store, top floor buildings because in top floor wind speed is high.
3. The mechanical water pumper is the best option in some circumstances. However,
because it must be placed close to the water source, it is often unable to capture the
best wind resources
Wind energy is available without any cost and it does not emit any greenhouse gases.
This makes it a great source of energy production for any developing state. The field of wind
energy has tremendous scope for innovation, translating to real world applications and
5.7 Conclusion
Unlike fossil fuel based electricity generations the modular electricity generators do
not cause pollution to the environment. With the installation of modular electricity
generations. This project therefore proposes to produce clean energy mainly from solar and
wind energy which is free of cost and abundantly available in nature can be utilized for
electrical energy without demanding huge investment. By this project many villages can be
lighted. Which are much away from the construction site of large power generating stations
such as hydro and nuclear can be provided power. Also to satisfy the increasing demand of
electricity, this project provides the need with clean hybrid system.
