This document presents a hybrid wind/solar energy system designed by a group of students and supervised by Prof. Dr. B.S Chowdhry and Dr. Imtiaz Hussain Kalwar. The system allows the wind and solar sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously based on availability. It aims to improve the reliability and efficiency of power transfer compared to individual wind or solar systems by combining the two intermittent sources. The document provides background on solar and wind energy, and describes the design and working of the solar panels, wind turbine, and hybrid system with diagrams.

5. Abstract
This
project presents a new system
configuration for a hybrid wind/solar
energy system.
This configuration allows the two sources
to supply the load separately or
simultaneously depending on the
availability of the energy sources.

6. In Search of Environmental friendly
& Sustainable energy sources
Environmentally
friendly solutions are
becoming more prominent than ever as a
result of concern regarding the state of our
deteriorating planet.
With increasing concern of global warming
and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves,
many are looking at sustainable energy
solutions to preserve the earth for the
future generations.
Other than hydro power, wind and
photovoltaic energy holds the most
potential to meet our energy demands.

10. Introduction to Solar Energy
Solar
Energy was invented many years
back with a piece of shiny metal which
can reflect sunrays, it satisfied the basic
need of cooking and heating in ancient
days.
In modern days it is being used in many
ways by converting the solar energy to
electrical energy with a Solar Panel

15. Introduction to Wind Energy
Wind
is also a form of solar energy. Winds
are caused by the uneven heating of the
atmosphere by the sun.
Wind flow patterns are modified by the
earth’s terrain, bodies of water and
vegetation.
Wind turbines are used to grab this wind to
rotate themselves and thus convert the
kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical
and then to electrical by rotating alternators
which are connected internally

19. Efficiency VS Wind Velocity
Wind turbines start operating at wind speeds of 4 to 5
metres per second and reach maximum power output at
around 15 metres/second.

20. Introduction to Hybrid Wind-Solar
Energy System
The
common inherent drawback of wind
and photovoltaic systems are their
intermittent natures that make them
unreliable.
However, by combining these two
intermittent sources, the system’s power
transfer efficiency and reliability can be
improved significantly.
