ABSTRACT

This project is to study the energy management for hybrid PV-Wind system. The aim of this project to analyze the energy management that produce from the combination of PV system and wind system which is hybrid system to the light emitting diode (LED) lamp as the load. In this project, the PV panel and Wind turbine used to generate the energy and the output of the energy control by two equipments which are solar charge control and hybrid charger. The output of the both equipment connect with the battery as storage energy for this system. To ensure the system can give supply to the load, LED light use as the load of this system. To ensure the management of the energy of this project, software of Homer be use to simulate the data to got the values the cost of the system. In this project, the solar system produce the best energy compare the wind system and it reliable to charge the battery of the system.

ABSTRAK

Projek ini adalah untuk mengkaji pengurusan tenaga untuk sistem hibrid solar dan turbin angin. Tujuan projek ini untuk menganalisis pengurusan tenaga yang menghasilkan daripada gabungan sistem solar dan sistem angin yang merupakan sistem hibrid untuk menghidupkan lampu diod pemancar cahaya atau dikenali sebagai (LED) sebagai beban untuk sistem dalam projek. Dalam projek ini, solar panel dan turbin angin digunakan untuk menjana tenaga dan tenaga yang terhasil dikawal oleh satu sistem kawalan yang mengawal proses pengecasan kepada bateri dan keseluruhan sistem hibrid. Untuk memastikan sistem boleh memberi bekalan tenaga kepada beban, lampu LED digunakan sebagai beban di dalam sistem hibrid ini. Untuk memastikan pengurusan tenaga projek ini, perisian Homer akan digunakan untuk simulasi data yang diperolehi bagi mendapatkan nilai kos yang dihasilkan oleh sistem ini. Dalam projek ini, sistem solar menghasilkan tenaga yang terbaik membandingkan sistem angin dan ia sesuai untuk mengecaskan bateri bagi sistem hibrid ini.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The increasing of technology development today that causes high of demand energy. More of equipments today need used energy especially electrical energy. Without electrical energy, economic activity was paralyzed because all work today needed electrical energy whether in office, industrial, transportation place, bank, and all around the world. Because of the high demand in energy used, these can effect of decreasing the prime energy such as oil, coal, and natural gas. Besides, the uses of the prime energy such as oil, coal and natural gas as the demand to get energy also cause pollution to environment. It is about 40% of global energy will cause emissions of carbon dioxide and this become increasing up to 58% in 2030.

Because of those problems, the alternative energy will be introduced to solve it. The concept of alternative energy that will use is relates to sustainability, renewability, and pollution reduction. The various form renewable energy will be introduced such as solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy, wave and tidal energy. Based on the increasing of renewable energy technology development today clearly shown it will becomes as alternative energy to replacement the fossil fuel energy that will be used today in the future.


(23)

1.2 Motivation

This project is to study the performance of energy management of the hybrid PV-wind stand alone system. In this case, the PV and wind generator were chosen as renewable energy and prime energy to generate the energy to supply direct current (DC) load which is LED light as the load of the system. PV and wind turbine were chosen because it is easy to used and can be used anywhere. Besides, it is easy to install and not need the extra space to build this system. The system will consist of the several parts which are wind turbine, PV panel, charge controller, storage and the load. Figure 1.1 shows the schematic of the proposed system.

Figure 1.1: Schematic of the proposed system [1].

This project is to research the energy management of hybrid PV-wind stand alone system. In this case, the performance of the energy in this system will be analyzed by taking the measure of the output energy of the system. Besides, the problem that will facing today which is the storage of the extra energy that generated by the prime energy like PV and wind turbine can be consider in this study as the one of the part of energy management. On the other hand, energy controller charger which is the important part in this system also will be analyzed and the performances will be investigated.

The type of the inverter also was been identify as the part in the controller. As the load of the system, the LED light of the system will be used. The energy that will produce at the load and when load is connect to system will be analyzed to find it performances in the system.

1.3 Problem Statement

The increasing of electrical demand in the world will affected the natural resources such as oil, gas, and coal becomes deficiencies. Besides, the uses of natural resources to generate the electricity also will cause the pollution to environment by emission of carbon dioxide gas. To resolve this problem, the alternative energy will be introduced. Alternative energy, which is related to sustainability, renewability, and pollution reduction, is the energy that will be used in the future. Renewable energy which is solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, and biomass energy is example of alternative energy. The new development in renewable energy such as solar and wind energy also has problem based on its reliability of their function.

In this case, this renewable energy which is stand alone renewable energy has a low reliability and flexibility on the system and it maintenance of each application. On other hand, the output energy that will produce by stand alone renewable energy not consistent as the system not achieved the specification needed. To overcome this problem, the renewable energy needs to be combining to make it more efficient. The best ways of combination of renewable energy is the hybrid PV-Wind system which is combination of photovoltaic system and wind turbine system.

In this combination both systems can help to solve the problem such as when the PV system will not operate during gloomy or night time, the wind turbine system can support to produce the energy and when the sunny day if no winds blow the PV still can produce the energy to the system.

By adding the hybrid application on the system, it will make the energy produce become more efficient. Besides, the other problem is about the energy storage. In this case, battery will use as the storage that will be control by the hybrid controller. To ensure the system is effective, the management of the energy of this system needs to be investigated.
