Abstract:
The importance of Development of Hybrid Power Generation System for Domestic
Application has been increased drastically due to fast increasing rate of electrical energy demand in
Malaysia which is set up by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) nowadays. The development of hybrid
power generation system for domestic application have to generate the electricity with stand-alone
even though when blackout or no electricity stability in residential areas and developing area such as
in the city. Hence, operation conditions and constructible possibilities of the project must be
determined. In this study, the role of development of hybrid power generation system for domestic
application has been investigated. In order, this will give advantages to the user to utilize both
renewable energy sources. Then, the development of hybrid power generation system for domestic
application has been obtained by being combined three types of renewable energy sources. The
photovoltaic panel has placed on the roof top to trap the sunlight and convert to electricity energy
which mostly used in Malaysia. The hydroelectric water turbine is applied to the pipe system at the
rain gutter to make sure rain water flow and hit the blade. Lastly, the wind turbine is set up at the
edge of the rooftop to make the wind spin the blade of the turbine. Typical stand-alone system is
photovoltaic panel only. This project is developed from a hybrid power generation system for
domestic application which just use photovoltaic panel and has been upgraded with adding the
hydroelectric water turbine and wind turbine to fill the research gap.
