Hybrid Wind & Solar Generation Project FINAL PRESENTATION
Project Scope • Solar and wind generation provide for 400 W load • Operate under variety of weather conditions • Self-reliant, off-grid
Design Process • Research and Simulink design of each generation system • Initial simulation of the wind and solar generation systems to obtain input and output of components • Testing individual components for functionality and researching component parameters • Testing each system individually and obtaining output data • Combining and testing the system as a whole to supply a maximum load
Conceptual Design • PV panel to generate solar power • Motor simulates wind power • Each system will individually manipulate DC • Combination of inputs then converted to AC • Battery bank to support load Combined system block diagram
Solar Test Plan • Individually test solar panel, Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT), inverter, battery • Each component tested under various conditions • Calculate expected power under different conditions (irradiance, temperature) Solar block diagram
Solar Design • Solar panels connected in series (35.4 V, 7.63 A: 270W maximum) • Connected via solar combiner to MPPT • Two 12V batteries connected in series, sets load voltage level at 24 Vdc MPPT Batteries Solar panels Panel combiner
Solar Design • Inverter connected to MPPT load terminals • Variable AC load Inverter with 150W load Series of lightbulb mounts and switches allow for easy and convenient testing
