Hybrid Renewable Energy System

***

ABSTRACT: Power demand is on the rise for some time now and with climate change, depleting fossil fuels and increasing global warming the use of renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, geothermal, ocean etc., to meet the escalating power demand in a sustainable, cost effective, and environment friendly way is inevitable. However, the stability and availability of a single renewable source is not guaranteed.

Combination of different sources making a hybrid renewable system are now being explored to overcome this problem. Wind turbine system combined with solar photovoltaic (PV), as a hybrid system, can play a significant role to overcome our future energy demands with a cost effective energy system. This paper presents a hybrid system that uses both solar as well as wind energy to give a stable power supply all roundthe year.

Key Words: Solar, Wind energy, Hybrid Power, Renewable, Cooling, Vertical Axis windturbine etc.

I. INTRODUCTION:

Better Health care, enhanced education, better transportation, superior communications systems, higher standard of living and economic stability are some of the major benefits of having usable electric power. However, many parts of the world still do not haveastablesourceofusableelectricitywithmostnon electrifiedareasbeinginthedevelopingnations.

Acknowledging this, many governments have undertaken huge electrification campaigns for rural regions. Renewable sources are being explored to overcome this demand. Wind turbine system combined with solar photovoltaic systems are becoming popular for standalone power generation applications. This is being seen as a good opportunity to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and move towards a sustainable power supply. This system can be deployed inresidential aswellascommercialcomplexesasstand alone power generation systems with great benefits even though, research and development are required to increasetheefficiencyofthesolarpanelandtherebythe entirehybridsystem.

In this paper a hybrid solar wind power generation system is proposed for a residential complex with 60 apartments.ThemainobjectiveoftheHybridRenewable PowerGenerationSystem(HRPGS)istheproductionand utilization of the electrical energy coming from multiple

sources, given that at least one of them is renewable (Gupta, 2008). Residential generating systems harnessing wind and solar energies are seen as a potential answer to individual energy concerns.

II. DESIGN OF SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM

The planet Earth has copious supply of sunlight. The amount of solar energy that the earth receives in one hour is over and above the planet’s total energy requirements for a whole year. But the amount of solar energy that can used depends upon varies factors like, thetimeofdayandtheseasonoftheyearaswell as the geographical location. Solar power systems, such as Photovoltaic (PV) systems, that convert the incident solar energy to electricity by using semiconductor devices like solar electric cells, are now being used to generateelectricalpowerforhouseholdstocountertheir everyday energy necessity. Individual PV cells are arranged into panels of varying electricity producing capacities. PV systems range from single PV cells for powering calculators to large power plants with hundreds of modules to generate large amount of electricity.

of the incident sunlight is converted into electricity, while most of the rest is converted into heat. One of the main obstacles that face the operation of photovoltaic panels (PV) is overheating due to excessive solar radiation and high ambient temperatures. Overheating reduces the efficiency of the panels dramatically.

In order to avoid this overheating, cooling technique is the solution for it. Hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) solar system is one of the most popular methods for cooling the photovoltaic panels nowadays. The hybrid system consists of a solar photovoltaic panel combined with a cooling system. The cooling agent, i.e., water or air, is circulated around the PV panels for cooling the solar cells, such that the warm water or air leaving the panels may be used for domestic applications such as domesticheating.Itwasalsofoundthatcoolingthesolar photovoltaic panel does not allow the solar cells surface temperature to rise above 46oC when exposed to solar radiationforaperiodof4hours.

A study shows, hybrid PV/T solar system was designed where water and air were both investigated in the

In general, this heating rate comes out to be 6oC/hr. or 0.1oC/min. (These are the values observed experimentallyandsouseddirectly)

ii. Cooling Rate Model

Coolingrateisfoundbyenergybalance.  Criticalfromthepointofenergyconsumption

The cooling time t is determined from the following energybalance: Qgainedbycoolingwater =QdissipatedfromPVpanels w ×t×cw ×ΔTw =mg ×cg ×ΔTg t=

Where w=massflowrateofwater, mg=massofglass, cw=specificheatcapacityofwater, cg=heatcapacityofglass, ΔTw=watertemperaturerise , ΔTg=glasstemperaturechangesduetowatercooling

The mass flow rate of water w is calculated from the equation: w = ,where isthewaterdensityand is the volume flow rate. The mass of glass mg is calculated from the equation: mg = Ag xg, where is the density of tempered glass, Ag is the surface area of the PV panel, and the xg is the thickness of the glass coveringthePVpanel.Theheatcapacityofwater,cw,and theheatcapacityofglass,cg,areassumedtobeconstant since the variation in the water and the PV panel temperatureisnotlarge.

III. ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF VAWT

Wind is plentiful source of clean energy. To harness electricityfromwindenergy,windturbinesusebladesto collect the wind’s kinetic energy. Wind flows over the bladescreatinglift,whichcausesthebladestoturn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator, which produces electricity. Wind turbines can be classified in a first approximation according to its rotor axis orientation and the type of aerodynamic forces used to take energy from wind. There are several other features like power rating, dimensions, number of blades, power control, etc. that are discussed further along the design process and can also be used to classify the turbines in more specific categories.

ii. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT):

In the case of a horizontal axis wind turbine, a large numberofdevicesarerequired,suchasayawingdevice and a pitching device. While the generation efficiency is relatively high, the blade shape is complicated. There is alsoa disadvantageinthatthewinddirection islimited. In the case of a vertical axis wind turbine, the structure issimple,anditis advantageous forinstallationina city center because there is no restriction of the wind direction.

Typical blade types of vertical axis wind turbines are Darrieus, gyro mill, Savonius, and helical blades. The helicaltypeisadvantageousinthatthefluctuationrange

Equation (2) is the mechanical power output generated bytherotationofthewindturbinerotor.

P=Tω (2)

The ratio of the power converted from the rotor power tothewindpowerflowingiscalledthepowercoefficient, which is a concept of aerodynamic energy conversion efficiency. Theoretically, the maximum value of the power coefficient is 0.593 in a horizontal axis wind turbine,whichisknownastheBetzlimit.TheBetzlimit is derived from actuator disk momentum theory and is the theoretical maximum assuming that the flow is steady state, inviscid, and irrotational. The Darrieus turbine is a typical lift type vertical axis wind turbine and has a maximum power coefficient of about 0.4 at a tipspeedratioof5.

Equation (3) shows the power output (P) of the wind turbine considering the power coefficient (CP) and power transmission efficiency (η) A ω is the rotor sweptarea(seeEquation(5))

P= ρAωV3ηCp (3)

The tip speed ratio (λ) is closely related to the power coefficient. The tip speed ratio is defined as the ratio of the blade tip speed and the wind speed at which the bladetipmoveswithrotation,asshowninEquation(4).

The wind swept area should consider the height of the rotor(H)andtheaspectratiowithrespecttotheradius (R).Thelongertherotorradius,thehigherthegenerated torque, but the longer the strut length, the lower the structural stability. However, when the rotor height is greater,thegeneratedtorqueislower,andtherotational speed of the rotor should be increased to obtain the same power output. The aspect ratio (AR) can be expressedas

Σ= (7)

The blade chord length (C) can be calculated using the solidity. The chord length is the length of the airfoil and is an important design variable because the generated torquechangesaccordingtothechordlength.

Among the lift type vertical axis wind turbines, helical blade wind turbines have a narrower range of output fluctuation compared to Darrieus and gyro mill wind turbines, and their efficiency is higher due to the largerwind sweptarea.

A tip speed ratio of 1.1 was chosen. In the case of a Darrieus type wind turbine, the maximum power coefficientcanbeachievedattipspeedratiosbetween4 and6.Atthedesignedwindspeedof10m/switharotor radius of 0.45 m, the rotational speed is between 230 and500rpm,whichisinadequateforuseinacitycenter. A rotational speed of 230 rpm was derived by applying the radius, design wind speed, and tip speed ratio in Equation(4).Thenumberofbladeswaschosenas3,and the solidity was set as 0.3, which was substituted into Equation(7)todeterminethechordlengthof0.25m.

Inthisstudy,theaerodynamicpowerofthewindturbine rotor was investigated by applying a NACA 0018 airfoil

and a mathematical model using the lift and drag forces of the airfoil according to the angle of attack. Unlike the bladeofahorizontal axiswindturbine,whichhasafixed angle of attack, the angle of attack varies for a vertical axiswindturbinedependingontherotationangleofthe rotor.

Figure presents the tip velocity vector and the lift, and thedragvectorsgeneratedbytherotationoftheturbine blade. The angle of attack changes with the blade tip velocity vector and the influx wind velocity vector. The vector sum (W) of the tip velocity vector and incoming wind velocity vector (V) is calculated by Equation (10). The maximum value occurs at θ = 0o, and the minimum valueoccursatθ=180

W=√ [ ] = √ (10)

The angle of attack (α) is the angle between the vector sum and the direction of the chord length. As the vector sum changes, the angle of attack has a positive value in theupstreamregionofthe rotoranda negativevaluein the downstream region. The angle of attack can be expressedasEquation(11)

α= ( ) (11)

As shown in the equation, the dominant variable that affects the angle of attack is the tip speed ratio. Figure shows the angle of attack as the blade rotates according to the tip speed ratio. The larger the tip speed ratio, the smaller the range of the angle of attack the airfoil receivesduringrotation.Thelargerthebladetipvelocity vector is, the larger the tip speed ratio is. This occurs because the vector sum direction approaches the direction of the blade’s forward velocity vector, and the angle of attack becomes smaller. The range of the angle

It controls the operation of the inverter. That is if it sensessolarenergy,itautomaticallyswitchesoffthe inverter and allows only charging of battery. This also means that the control unit switches OFF the inverterduringthedayandswitchesONatnight. 

It controls the modulation of the inverter through the feedback loop by adjusting the modulation current.

When solar radiation falls on the solar panel, DC electricity flows. This electricity flows through the charge controller which regulates the DC energy for efficient charging. Similarly, when wind blows over the blades of the turbine, it turns the DC generator. The electricity generated is used for battery charging.

VI. SIMULINK MODEL

We modelled the solar and wind turbine generation together with energy consumption model to understand the renewability of the hybrid system employed. We havetaken200solarpanelsand20windturbinesinthe below model. Which can be varied easily as it used as constantblock.Wehaveusedthe24hrsofhourlydatain the model to understand the net generation to consumption as well. As the system is going to work on net billing i.e., supply is provided to grid when excess

As there can be space constraint so 100% renewable maybe difficult for some regions, a percentage of renewable source can be used. A cost model was also developedkeepinginmindthecostandspaceandmake the system affordable on the basis of percentage of renewablesourceused.

Figure 8: Windenergymodel

The SIMULINK model considers number of solar panel and wind turbines so wecan change them based on our space and cost constraint and Complete Integrations of wind & solar model (Fig. 17) will give us renewability percentage and thus help us understand Overall CO2 emission reduction. This is calculated in table below as well. This table showcases tree equivalent for one day consumption and if expanded shows huge role in explainingworthofourwork.
