Electricity Generated by Using Solar & Wind Energy

Mechanical Engineering

Now a day’s electricity become a most essential need of human beings, from household to industrial work. All the conventional energy resources are depleting day by day. So we have to shift from conventional to non-conventional energy resources to produce electricity. Renewable sources do not have any detrimental effect on the environment. Renewable energy sources i.e. energy generated from solar, wind, biomass, hydro power, geothermal and ocean resources are considered as a technological option for generating clean energy. But the energy generated from solar and wind is much less than the production by fossil fuels, however, electricity generation by utilizing PV cells and wind turbine increased rapidly in recent years. Solar panels are used for converting solar energy into electricity and wind turbines are used for converting wind energy into electricity. Solar-wind hybrid system is basically involves the integration of solar energy plant and a wind energy plant that will give continuous power. A during bad weather conditions the production can be shifted from one plant to other plant with the help of a microcontroller. A microcontroller ensures the optimum utilization of resources and it also increases the efficiency of the combined system as compared to the individual mode of generation. This hybrid solar-wind power generating system can be used for both industrial and domestic applications. So, the purpose of the project is to generate electricity without using non-renewable resources and without damaging the nature balance.
