1. Hybrid Wind & Solar Generation Project
FINAL PRESENTATION

2. Project Scope Solar and wind generation provide for 400 W load
Operate under variety of weather conditions
Self-reliant, off-grid

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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
