Abstract

Nowadays, the rising energy demand and the limited reserves of the conventional sources have raised the concerns of the researchers all around the globe to look for alternative resources. In addition to the increasing demand concerns, the environmental concerns have led to the emergence of green power technologies in the energy sector. Green power technologies include the power generation from clean and inexhaustible sources of solar energy, wind energy, hydro, biomass, etc. The main point of consideration, while designing the hybrid system, is the sizing of different components.

In this paper, a methodology has been developed for optimal planning of hybrid PV-Wind system with some battery backup. The local solar radiation, wind data and components database from different manufacturers are analyzed and simulated in Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) to assess the technical and economic viability of the integrated system. The system architecture, includes SUKAM PV System 200 KW, 10 number of Generic 10 kW Wind Generators, POWERICA Diesel Generator 250 KW, Battery Trojan IND17-6V model (6 V, 7.61kwh), and Converter 30 KW. This paper gives the design idea of optimized PV-Solar and Wind Hybrid Energy System for Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering and Technology (SVCET) at Chittoor, Electrical load over conventional electrical grid system for a particular site in South India (Chittoor). For this hybrid system, the meteorological data of Solar Insolation, hourly wind speed, are taken for Chittoor -South India (Latitude 13ο16.3'N and Longitude 79ο7.1'E) and the pattern of load consumption of SVCET electrical load data are studied and suitably modeled for optimization of the hybrid energy system using HOMER Pro 3.8.5 Software. This system is more cost effective and environmental friendly over the conventional grid system.
