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

Research and Simulink design of each generation system 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
