Abstract

A hybrid power system consisting of PV-arrays and wind turbines with energy storing devices battery bank and power electronic device was designed and constructed in this paper The system is aimed at the production and utilization of the electrical energy coming from more than one source provided that at least one of them is renewable The efficiency of the designed power electronic device is about 95 and 73 for capacitive and resistive loads respectively A hybrid power system consisting of PV-arrays and wind turbines with energy storing devices battery bank and power electronic device was designed and constructed in this paper The system is aimed at the production and utilization of the electrical energy coming from more than one source provided that at least one of them is renewable The efficiency of the designed power electronic device is about 95 and 73 for capacitive and resistive loads respectively The integration of the hybrid is to electrify a residential house and its surrounding in order to reduce the need for fossil fuel leading to an increase in the sustainability of the power supply This approachis techno-economically viable for rural electrification
