DEVELOPMENT OF HYBRID POWER GENERATION MODEL USING RAIN WATER, SOLAR AND WIND
Abstract
Renewable Energy is the energy that comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat which are continually replenished. Hybrid power generation model mainly focuses on the renewable energy resources. These sources of energy can meet the world’s demand without dismantling the stability of Earth. Hybrid power system model is mainly to meet the increasing energy demand through nonconventional energy sources. In our proposed hybrid model Solar, Wind and Rain water has been planned to use to generate electricity. This configuration allows the three sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously depending on the availability of energy resources. The objectives of the present study are to convert the solar, wind and rain water into electricity and to optimize the energy requirement using these nonconventional energy resources. It reduces the environmental pollution using clean or environmental friendly technology and creates awareness among people regarding renewable energy resources. The study area considered for the present study is Kamala Nehru Girls Hostel in Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University campus which was located in Kukatpally of Hyderabad city, Ranga Reddy District. It is situated in between 17º30´ to 17º29´ North Latitudes and 78º23´ to 78º24´ East Longitudes.
In this millennium, the methodologies to harvest existing dissipated powers not only supply input energy to our sophisticated devices, but also contribute the current technological researches and developments. Single harvester generator or harvesting single power source may remain insufficient for the energy feed into the systems like electronic devices, biosensors, human, structural and machine health monitoring, and wireless sensor nodes. To overcome this problem, hybridization of energy harvesters (EHs) takes place to increase the limited energy generation of stand-alone
EHs. In this chapter, piezoelectric
and electromagnetic
generators are compared and classic as well as novel hybrid energy harvester (HEH)
designs are reviewed by considering fixed-frequency; broadband including linear, nonlinear and tunable HEHs; multimode; and multisource powered configurations. This review covers two-, three-, four-multi source powered HEHs in micro-, meso- and large-scales. Overall comparisons of classic and novel HEHs are tabulated and discussed in detail in order to guide potential researchers. In the scope of this chapter review, it is seen that HEHs generate greater power outputs than its single harvester components. The most promising power and energy generations are 315 mW by four-source powered novel HEH in meso-scale, 215 μW by tunable broadband classic HEH in microscale and 440 kW h/day by partially three-source powered HEH in large scale. This chapter indicates that HEHs not only increase the output powers and power densities, but also enables endless configurations to maximize harnessing existing power sources.
