DESIGN OF HYBRID RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS USING SOLAR AND WIND ENERGY

This project involves the design of a hybrid renewable energy system using solar and wind for residential areas and to use the system to generate sustainable electricity for household consumption, independent of fluctuations in the weather. A review of previous works was carried out, radiation (solar) and wind data (speed) was collected using Northern part of Nigeria as a case study and then load listing for a typical household was done. The subsystem of the Hybrid Renewable system was organized in a block diagram and then each of the subsystem was designed. The Design Calculation (result and finding) was that a typical household requiring 11KW per day. Each Subsystem requires a PV subsystem requires with 6 solar panels of 1000w connected in series, Wind subsystem with rotor blade Radius/Length of 5m is required with 11kw 24V Turbine, an Energy storage subsystem of 24V, 13000AH which is 10 (1300AH) batteries in series and an Inverter required is 15KW 24V inverter.
Overall, this research provides a comprehensive framework for the design of a hybrid renewable energy system that combines the strengths of solar and wind resources. The proposed system offers a reliable and environmentally friendly solution to meet the increasing energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable energy in the future.
