Abstract:
Utilization of renewable energy resources have been the most important and prospective field to seek new energy sources to meet up the increasing demand in power all over the world specially in a developing country like Bangladesh. Among the renewable resources, wind and solar being the most popular ones due to abundant ease of accessibility and convertibility to the electricity. The paper presents the next generation of power energy systems where generation will not be dependent on fossil fuel, using solar and wind energy systems. The thesis is emphasized on the feasibility study of hybrid energy system (comprising solar and wind) from literature followed by evaluation of performance through simulation. The primary focus of this study is to develop a dynamic model for a small standalone hybrid power generation system for the urban as well as coastal areas and compare their performance.
For designing and studying the feasibility of the system, software named ‘HOMER’ was used. HOMER software has been used for analyzing the performance of the system. Different performance analysis includes feasibility, sensitivity, cost and sustainability were measured using the software.
Our designed solar wind hybrid power system capacity is 650 Watts. It is proposed as the model with LED lights and limited fans which are considered as domestic load. It is found that the proposed system reduces CO2 emission.
Description:
We would like to thank BRIG GEN SHAIKH MUHAMMAD RIZWAN ALI for providing us with the opportunity to study the different forms of renewable energy. The difficulties of designing and building the project would have been far more difficult without your persistent drive for excellence. The guidance during the long and sometimes difficult parts of the project provided a learning curve that allowed us to gain confidence and a strong background to fall back on. The work on this project has only strengthened our desire to incorporate all forms of renewable energy and to look at new technologies that promote a cleaner environment. The study of solar energy was what got us into the field of Electrical Engineering. During the design phase, you helped us to select the key pieces of equipment that were implemented into the prototype design. The lessons learned from studied materials provided a background that made understanding the equipment easier and provided a background to expand our perception on DC systems.
We also feel thankful to MAJ SAEED, EME for his valuable advice.
We owe our special thanks to our parents who have always been on our side, morally.
Furthermore, we would like to extend our gratitude to our friends at MIST for their continuous encouragements.
