Design and Simulation of a Hybrid Wind-Photovoltaic System for Energy Supply

Abstract

This document consists of the design and simulation of a hybrid wind-photovoltaic system to implement a prototype that can be used to charge electronic equipment. Through the use of non-conventional renewable energy without connection to the electrical grid. Due to the need presented by public transport users in rural areas. For which a meteorological study is carried out to size the system based on the behavior of the data on wind speed and solar radiation for one month under real measurements, and extrapolating the data to one year from the Method of Monte Carlo. Likewise, by estimating the electrical load and based on the technical characteristics of the elements available on the market, a design for the hybrid wind-photovoltaic system is proposed. Then a simulation of the prototype is carried out in the Simulink software, integrating all the elements of the system, and through the use of the characteristic equations of the solar panels, as well as the wind turbine, the validation of the operation of the prototype is carried out. Finally, it is possible to verify that when the battery is 100% charged, the system produces 120 VAC and 378 W of enough power to supply the proposed demand of 200 W, achieving a functional and efficient design for its future implementation.
