Power Generation through Hybrid Micro wind Turbine Generator & Solar Module using Tracking Mechanism

Abstract

In advancement of solar & wind power sector there are different types of research has been done in both large & small scale for power generation. In this paper we have focused on power generation to charge the battery of capacity 26Ah 12V, so we need 10% (2.6A) rated current to the battery and we are charging the battery through hybrid solar-wind system at micro level using tracking mechanism to capture more power from solar and wind. This experiment consist of 24 micro windmill with 6 bladed fan which consist of 3-3 dynamos each connected in series firstly and then output of 24 groups of series connected dynamos i.e. output of 72 dynamos taken in parallel finally and there are 10 solar panel of 3 watt each connected in series-parallel combination which are mounted on the top of panel structure also at the slope angle of 280 and tracking of solar started from 10 am to 3 pm & after 3 pm solar panel kept at home position or wind panel kept in west direction, after power generation from hybrid micro solar-wind system we store the energy in battery of 26Ah 12V using MPPT charger and lastly we compared the average efficiencies of hybrid solar-wind system separately i.e. with & without tracking mechanism and battery charging time also and found that the average efficiency of hybrid micro solar-wind system is higher and less charging time of battery in tracking mechanism in compare to without tracking mechanism.
