System includes:

1. Wind turbine: which is installed on top of a tall tower,collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to
electricity that is compatible with a home"s electrical system.

2. Wind controller

3. Battery bank:
can be a single battery or multiple batteries connected together to create essentially one large
battery of the required voltage and amp-hour capacity.In some ways the battery configuration and capacity are
the most important electrical power decision to make, and a wise choice can help guarantee a steady supply of
electrical power as well as a system that is simple to operate and maintain.

4. Inverter: A power converter that "inverts" the DC power from the panels into AC power.The characteristics of
the output signal should match the voltage, frequency and power quality limits in the supply network.

5. loads: Stands for the network connected appliances in the building that are fed from the inverter(AC loads),or
from the battery bank(DC loads).


Wind Solar hybrid System:
A wind turbine, which is installed on top of a tall tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to
electricity that is compatible with a home"s electrical system.
In a normal residential application, a home is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and a local utility. If the
wind speeds are below cut-in speed (7-10 mph) there will be no output from the turbine and all of the needed
power is purchased from the utility. As wind speeds increase, turbine output increases and the amount of power
purchased from the utility is proportionately decreased.
1. PV Array: A number of PV panels connected in series and/or in parallel giving a DC output out of the incident
irradiance. Orientation and tilt of these panels are important design parameters, as well as shading from
surrounding obstructions.

2. Wind turbine: which is installed on top of a tall tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to
electricity that is compatible with a home"s electrical system.

3. Solar controller: control battery bank charge and discharge reasonable and safety.

from the battery bank(DC loads).
STAND ALONE PV SYSTEM

Stand-alone systems are independent from the utility grid,avoiding the possibility of losing power when the grid
goes down.Electricity from stand-alone systems are used on site,such as an RV or cabin.Power that is
generated can be stored in batteries and used at night or on sunless days.

from the grid.

Grid-connected PV system

In photovoltaic solar energy systems, light is converted into electrical energy that is used immediately or stored. In a
grid connected photovoltaic system, the generated direct current is transformed into an alternating current that can
be used in the house immediately. In case of remaning energy, it can be delivered into the grid.
When the turbine produces more power than
the house needs, the extra electricity is sold
to the utility. All of this is done automatically.
There are no batteries in a modern
residential wind system. Small wind systems
for remote applications operate somewhat
differently.
Most small turbines have very few moving
parts and do not require any regular
maintenance. They are designed for a long
life (up to 20 years) and operate completely
automatically.
Utility Connected with Battery Backup:
A combination of the above systems,
these applications have the advantages
of both.They are connected to the utility
grid in case the weather is insufficient for
the solar or wind system, but they also
have batteries to store electricity in case
the utility grid goes down as well.The
design and installation of these systems
is more complicated and expensive,but
they are the most effective in providing
constant,reliable electricity.
A generator may also be used for
back-up.For PV applications,the size of a
stand-alone system is usually up to 50kW.
Grid connected system avoid the need for electricity storage in batteries by essentially using the utility as a
battery system. When your solar or wind system produces more electricity than you need, the excess is sold back
to the utility.When your system doesn"t produce enough electricity,you can draw power from the grid.All this is
done automatically through a net metering or net billing program.In most cases,a special or second utility meter
will be added to keep track of how much electricity has been sold to the utility.??

Advantages of utility interconnection include having access to standard AC power all of the time,not just when
your system produces electricity,and avoiding the cost of a battery back-up system.A disadvantage is the utility
interconnection fee,which varies with each utility.The size of a utility connected project depends on how much of
your electric consumption you want to displace and how much money you are able to invest.

Grid Connected PV system design has
the following components:
1. PV Array or Generator: A number
of PV panels connected in series and/or
in parallel giving a DC output out of the
incident irradiance. Orientation and tilt
of these panels are important design
parameters, as well as shading from
surrounding obstructions.

2. Inverter: A power converter that
inverts the DC power from the panels
into AC power. The characteristics of the output signal should match the voltage, frequency and power quality limits
in the supply network.

3. Loads: Stands for the network connected appliances in the building that are fed from the inverter, or, alternatively,
from the grid.

4. Meters: They account for the energy being drawn from or fed into then local supply network.

5. Local Supply Network: A single or three-phase network managed by a Public Electricity Supplier. The supply
network acts both as a sink for energy surplus in the building or as a backup for low local generation periods.
