Development of Hybrid Power Generation System

Abstract

Renewable energy is rapidly emerging in Malaysia today, such as hydro, solar, wind, biomass, tidal wave and geothermal energy. Renewable energy installation has been built in every country in Malaysia. Nonetheless, any home that wanted the system was introduced to the solar system. Most of the time, solar systems are owned by affordable people who use 415Voltage for domestic use. However, the solar system is quite expensive and the technology is only afforded by a few people. The main goals of this project are to concentrate on 230Voltage users having low pay electricity bills and afford the system to be installed. As a backup source, this system is capable of working at all times without restriction as long as the power supplied from the surrounding area.

The development of hybrid renewables energy systems comprise of mini solar, hydro energy and wind energy to be applied to every 230Voltage domestic user. This project is controlled by Arduino Uno and contactor or relay as a switching over-voltage in order to change power from grid transmission to hybrid energy to reduce the cost of electricity bills and also to reduce the global warming of burning oil for producing electricity. The energy that can be obtained continuously is called renewable energy. Solar, hydro, wind, biomass and geothermal energy, for example, are also known as renewable or eco-friendly energy. Nevertheless, the power generated by solar concentrated in the previous task is not much the same as the power gained from the sources of petroleum.

The aim of this paper is to develop a hybrid generation system that incorporates solar, wind and hydro power to optimize clean energy production. This means that electricity generation comes from the sun, air, and water. The plan is to utilize a photovoltaic array, water turbine and wind turbine. Hence, it is a simple low-cost technique that can be applied at home or in other small buildings. This proposed system brings uniqueness to it as it is good for environment, cost-effective and very simple.
