Department of EEE, Pragati Engineering College, Surampalem, A.P ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------1.2 EXISTING TECHINQUE Abstract - The objective of this project is to generate power continuously from the renewable energy resources. Here the renewable energy resources used in this project are solar power and rain water. Now-a-days using solar energy for the generation of electricity has become very popular. Particularly in the agricultural fields the usage of solar panels for electricity increasing day by day. The flaw in this concept is whenever there is sun, there will be solar energy production. But if there is no sun light i.e., during rainfall sufficient power will not be generated. For overcoming this problem this project is needed. This project is based on the principle of using hybrid mechanism of combining solar power technology with piezo electric power technology In this project, we will have hybrid panel i.e., one side it will have solar panel and other side it will have piezo electric plate. Based on the weather conditions, the plate will be rotated automatically using dc motors. So whenever the day is sunny, solar panel will be faced up and whenever there is rainfall, the piezo electric plate will be faced up. For sensing the sun, we are using an LDR and for detecting the rainfall we are using moisture sensor. Key Words: Aurdino Microcontroller, LDR Sensor, Moisture Sensor, Piezo Electric Panel, Solar Panel
1. INTRODUCTION In today’s rapidly increasing and randomly developing technological world, the ultimate need for sustainment of human race is Electricity. There are many ways in which the Electric energy can be stored, converted, and amplified for our use. To help in understanding the energy sources which plays an important role in the world’s future, it is required to familiarize with some of the history, theory, economics, and problems of the various types of energy. The energy sources have been split into three categories: fossil fuels, renewable sources, and nuclear sources. The fossil fuels here are coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The renewable energy sources are solar, wind, hydroelectric, ocean energy, and piezo energy. The nuclearpowered sources are fission and fusion.
1.1PROJECT OBJECTIVE The purpose of this project is to generate power from multiple sources. This project we are using two main sources to generate power. They are solar and Piezo electric transducer LDR Sensor to sense light and moisture sensor to sense moisture. © 2017, IRJET

The name solar power is actually a little misleading. In fact, most of the energy known to man is derived in some way from the sun. The creation of solar panels typically involves cutting crystalline silicon into tiny disks less than a centimeter thick. These thin, wafer-like disks are then carefully polished and treated to repair and gloss any damage from the slicing process. After polishing, do pants (materials added to alter an electrical charge in a semiconductor or photovoltaic solar cell) and metal conductors are spread across each disk. Amorphous silicon solar panels are a powerful that differ in output, structure and manufacture than traditional photo-voltaic which use crystalline silicon. Silicon thin-film cells are mainly deposited by chemical vapour deposition (typically plasma-enhanced, PE-CVD) from silane gas and hydrogen gas.
1.3 PROPOSED TECHNIQUE The piezoelectric effect, by which a material generates an electric potential in response to a temperature change, was studied by Carl Linnaeus and Franz Aepinus in the mid18th century. Drawing on this knowledge, both René Just Haüy and Antoine César Becquerel posited a relationship between mechanical stress and electric charge; however, experiments by both proved inconclusive. The first demonstration of the direct piezoelectric effect was in 1880 by the brothers Pierre Curie and Curie. They combined their knowledge of piezoelectricity with their understanding of the underlying crystal structures that gave rise to piezoelectricity to predict crystal behavior, and demonstrated the effect using crystals of tourmaline, quartz, topaz, cane sugar, and Rochelle salt (sodium potassium tartrate tetrahydrate).
1.4 TYPES OF SOURCE OF POWER 1.4.1 Solar Power The name solar power is actually a little misleading. In fact, most of the energy known to man is derived in some way from the sun. When we burn wood or other fuels, it releases the stored energy of the sun. In fact, there would be no life on earth without the sun, which provides energy needed for the growth of plants, and indirectly, the existence of all animal life.
