Wind/Photovoltaic Hybrid Power System

Nowadays, electricity is most common power source in peoples life. As the living standard improving, the dependence on electricity becomes stronger. In remote area far from public power grid, the stand-alone power supply system become most needed power source. The border troop sentry, telecommunication relay station, signal tower along the highway and railway, geological survey and wild field work-station, the farmer and herdsmen house in remote area all need low cost and reliable stand-alone power supply system.
.Wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system --- most suitable stand-alone power system.
A Most rationality for utilizing the resources. In remote areas, the consumption loads are relatively small and dispersed, the power supplied from public grid is of high cost, so the power should be generated locally, the most option is to use diesel generator. But the storage and transportation of diesel is expensive to remote area. Solar energy is the source of all energy on earth and received in every corner of the world. The wind energy is the another form of the solar energy, with the different surface form and topographic conditions ( e.g. sand, plant, and water) the heat absorption factors are different, which cause the temperature difference on the surface of earth and form the air convection flow --- wind. So, the solar energy and wind energy are complementary with each other in time sequence and regions. In day time, when sunshine is strong, the wind is weak. When sun set, the sun light become weak, but wind go strong because of bigger temperature difference on surface of earth. In summer, sunshine is strong but wind is weak. In winter sunshine is weak, but wind is bigger. The complementarity between solar energy and wind energy in time sequence makes wind/photovoltaic power supply system have best matching property in resources.

Wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system is the best stand-alone power system in resources utilization.
B Best option in technical configuration Photovoltaic power system is the system which convert the solar energy into electricity through the solar panel, then charge the batteries through controller, then supply electricity to consumer through inverter. The advantage of the system is with high reliability, low maintenance cost, the disadvantage is of high cost. The wind power system is the system which convert the wind energy into electricity through wind turbine generator, then charge batteries through controller, then supply the electricity to consumers through inverter. The advantage of the wind system is with higher energy production, low system cost and maintenance cost, the disadvantage is the reliability of domestic small wind turbine generators remaining unsolved. Besides, the common disadvantage of the wind system and photovoltaic system is the uncertainty of the resources leading the unbalance between energy production and load consumption and both being in need of batteries for stabilizing the power supply. As the complementary between solar energy and wind energy, the wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system can overcome some shortcomings of the stand-alone wind power system and photovoltaic power system in aspect of resources. Meanwhile the battery bank and the inverter can be shared, so the wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system can reduce the cost and make the cost more acceptable. The wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system can be rationally configured based on the load and resources condition, which can ensure the reliability of power supply and reduce the cost of the power system. Whatever the environment and load pattern, the wind/photovoltaic hybrid system can be optimum in design to meet the demand of the users. It could be said, the wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system is most rational stand-alone power system. At present, the biggest obstacle of promoting wind/photovoltaic hybrid system is the reliability of the small wind turbine generators.

2 Scientific assessment to wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system.

A Wind keeps change all the time, to scale the wind power system by watt power in a certain wind condition is not scientific. The AIR403 wind turbine generator made by American Southwest Windpower, Inc. is named 400W ( the output power is 400W at rated wind speed of 12.5m/s), but there are only 70 hours of which wind speed is over 12.5m/s. B The variation of the annual average wind speed in a certain area is very small, the annual electricity production can be calculated from it. So using annual electricity production to name and scale the wind power system is more reasonable. C E=0.2D2V3it can be seen that the wind energy is proportional to the cubic power of wind speed, the wind speed varies between 3m/s 8m/s in most of time a year. The performance of the wind turbine generator in low wind speed is the important index to evaluate the wind power system. D The working condition of wind power system is extremely bad, often in area with big sand wind, high salty, strong typhoon and storm, the system maintenance should be least, the reliability should be high, the manufacturing criterion for each component and part should be designed based on most critical condition. The low cost of wind power system often imply low reliability.
3The technology advantage of Windtalk wind power system.

For decades, the technology of small wind generator has been improved a lot, some progress has been achieved in its industry development. But fundamentally, the reliability has not been solved thoroughly. For a long time, with concern on cost, the advanced hydraulic control technology has not been applied in the over-speed protection for small wind generators. Instead, the simple mechanical control method for over-speed protection under over rated wind speed has been adopted. The features of the mechanical over-speed protection is that the head or a
certain component is being dynamically suspended, such mechanism could perform good character in speed limitation under the wind test tunnel, but under natural conditions, with the complicated variation in wind direction and wind speed, and/or under ferocious condition, the

dynamic suspending compound is inevitably kept in vibration and fatigue, then led moving parts damage so as to break down the wind generator.
Nowadays, the best small wind generators only remain tree moving parts. (The less moving parts, the higher reliability, that gains popular consents.) a. Rotor driving the rotation of the generators main shaft
b. Tail driving the navigation of the wind generator head c. The moving part for limiting the speed during big wind. The first two moving parts are necessary, which are basic for wind generator, in practice these two moving parts have very less failure. In most cases, the failure happens to the speed limiting protection mechanism . AThe new control philosophy to the small wind power system The purpose of setting speed limitation protection during big wind is to reduce the wind energy absorbed by wind generator when wind generator output is bigger than the sum of power consumption and storage in system as the wind speed reach a certain level, (let us call it over-power) so as the wind generator not to run in over speed.
At present, the modes of over-speed protection in world can be classified into two kinds: aYawing the rotor away from wind direction through a mechanism to reduce the windward area of rotor, so as to reduce the wind energy absorption. bPitching the blades by centrifugal force through a mechanism to reduce the rotor efficiency of using wind energy so as to reduce the effect of wind energy absorption. As the result of these mechanical over-speed protection devices have not good reliability, besides the factor of not proper man-made design, actually there exit its essential shortcoming. In nature, the wind is very complicated, the turbulence is its main form, meanwhile the wind speed and direction varies frequently and swiftly, it is impossible for any mechanical device to
response the variation of the actual wind, plus the long time operation leading the mechanical

wear and bigger clearance between matching parts, all these result in protection in lag, in vain as well as intensified vibration, then cause the wind generator over-speed, over load, strong vibration and sort of breakage result.
Our company has specially developed a totally new electro-magnetic speed limitation protector for Windtalk wind power system, its technical kernel is to feedback a magnetic resistant to the generator when it over power, to increase largely the consuming power of the generator, make it bigger thank the power from rotor so as to reduce the rotation speed of the rotor and decrease the rotor tip ratio, so to lower the rotor efficiency and reduce the energy absorption from wind, further more reduce the rotation speed of the rotor - a train reaction give effect of
reducing the speed more than limiting the speed. The procedure of electro-magnetic response make the protection action.
The advantage of this new over-speed protection philosophy is to give up the mechanical speed limitation component, only remain two necessary moving parts, eliminate the potential mechanical failure, and solve the fundamental problem for longtime safe and reliable operation of small wind generator. This is base of the speed limitation control theory, the advantage of this theory as follow:
a.
Because of giving up the mechanical speed limitation structure and remaining only two necessary moving parts, the structure stability and reliability of wind generator increase greatly.
b.
Without confinement from mechanical speed limitation structure, the outlook of the
wind generator can made more beautiful and varied. c. More options for over-speed electro control with high reliability, and multi-step control can be realized, the wind speed range in BHigh efficient turbine blade design. The turbine blade is the tool for the wind generator to get power from wind, the efficiency and

strength of the blade is very important to the whole wind power system. The turbine blades of the Windtalk wind power system use NASA CLACK Y dynamic type design, the wind energy utilization efficiency is as high as 0.45. C High performance generator design The generator for Windtalk wind power system use Class F of insulation, IP55 of water- proof. Through the special design, the static rotation moment is only 0123 N M, it can be started at wind speed of 2.4 m/s, with very good performance at low wind speed. D Innervational outlook design The outlook of the wind generator is of professional industrial design, with aluminum alloy shell, not only beautiful in outlook, but also water-proof, salt-proof, well heat-conducting, so as to guarantee the normal operation under extreme weather. The Windtalk wind power system based on new control theory has been tested in the coastal area and survived through strong typhoon. The system reliability has been approved, and the ability of its power production at low wind speed is very good.

Windtalk wind/photovoltaic hybrid system is newly developed for the frequently movable users. The system has very high reliability integrated with multi-items through integration design. The weight of total system is only 60kg, the special design make installation and operation very easy, with beautiful outlook. a. The resources condition for system application. Wind resource, the annual average wind speed 4 m/s 5m/s (10m height) Solar energy resource, the annual sunshine hours 2000 2200 hours. b. System configuration Solar panel Wind generator (rated wind speed) (Battery bank) 12V,60AH 30W 150W 1 set 1 set 8m/s 2 pieces

(Single phase square wave inverter) (related supporter for installation and cables) c. Electricity production estimation (Average daily production from solar panel) P1=0.03240.22=0.16KW.H (Average daily production from wind generator) P2=0.15240.3=1.08KW.H
1 set
Neglecting the system line loss, taking the charging efficiency and inerter efficiency, the system efficiency be=0.85. Then the Average daily production from the system P=P1+P2* =0.16+1.080.85=1.05KW.H Average daily production from Windtalk wind/photovoltaic hybrid power system is about 1KWh, which can basically meet the daily demand of the herdsmen and farmers in remote area. For bigger demand, the system capacity can be increased based on the local wind and solar resources. The daily electricity production can be increase to the level of users need, for instance, to meet the special demand of the telecommunication relay station, meteorological station and so on.
