Hybrid Wind & Solar Generation ProjectFINAL 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
