Hybridization of Wind With Solar Using Cuk and Sepic Converters
This chapter presents a hybrid model of solar and wind energy. This gives the hybridization of wind with solar using the CUK and SEPIC converters. In this model the solar PV panel source is connected to the CUK converter and correspondingly the wind turbine source is given to the SEPIC converter. Solar energy and wind energy are the two renewable energy sources most common in use. Hybridizing solar and wind power sources provide a realistic form of power generation. The chapter deals with the concept of how this hybridization of solar and wind is used to get maximum efficiency and complete utilization of renewable energy sources. Many hybrid wind and PV power systems …show more content…
These photons contain different amounts of energy which has different wavelengths of the solar spectrum. The absorbed photons provide energy to generate electricity. Due to the absorbed sunlight by the semiconductor material, electrons randomly from the material's atoms. When the electrons leave their position, holes are formed. When many electrons move towards the front surface of the cell, the resulting difference of charge between the surfaces creates a voltage potential. The electricity flows when the two surfaces are connected through an external …show more content…
Hybrid systems are the right solution for a clean energy production. Hybridizing solar and wind power sources provide a realistic form of power generation. With the use of CUK and SEPIC converters hybrid wind and solar energy system topology is proposed. This topology allows the two sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously depending on the availability of the energy sources. The output voltage obtained from the hybrid system is the sum of the inputs of the CUK and SEPIC converters. This system has lower operating cost and finds applications in remote area power generation, constant speed and variable speed energy conversion systems. MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used to model the DC-DC converters, inverter and the proposed hybrid
