ABSTRACT: Now a day’s electricity is most needed facility for the human being. All the conventional energy
resources are depleting day by day. So we have to shift from conventional to non-conventional energy resources. In this
the combination of two energy resources is takes place i.e. wind and solar energy. This process reviles the sustainable
energy resources without damaging the nature. We can give uninterrupted power by using hybrid energy system.
Basically this system involves the integration of two energy system that will give continuous power. Solar panels are
used for converting solar energy and wind turbines are used for converting wind energy into electricity. This electrical
power can utilize for various purpose.Generation of electricity will be takes place at affordable cost. This paper deals
with the generation of electricity by using two sources combine which leads to generate electricity with affordable cost
without damaging the nature balance.

KEYWORDS: Electricity, Hybrid, Solar, Power, Wind.

I.INTRODUCTION
Solar energy and wind energy have been deemed clean, inexhaustible, unlimited, and environmentalfriendly. Such
characteristics have attracted the energysector to use renewable energy sources on a larger scale.However, all
renewable energy sources have drawbacks.Wind and solar sources is dependent on unpredictablefactors such as
weather and climatic conditions. Due toboth sources, complementary nature, some of theseproblems can be overcome
the weaknesses of one withthe strengths of the other. This brings us to the hybridsolar-wind power plant concept.
Hybrid energy stationshave proven to be advantageous for decreasing thedepletion rate of fossil fuels, as well as
supplying energy to remote rural areas, without harming the environment.
The main objective of this paper is to assess the feasibility and economic viability of utilizing hybrid Solar–
Wind–battery based standalone power supply systems to meet the load requirements.

II. SOLAR ENERGY

Solar energy is energy from the Sun. It is renewable, inexhaustible and environmental pollution free. Nigeria, like most
other countries is blessed with large amount of sunshine all the year with an average sun power of 490W/m2/day . Solar
charged battery systems provide power supply for complete 24hours a day irrespective of bad weather. Moreso, power
failures or power fluctuations due to service part of repair as the case may be is nonexistent.

III.WIND ENERGY
Wind is a natural phenomenon related to the movement of air masses caused primarily by thedifferential solar heating
of the earth's surface. Seasonal variations in the energy received from the sun affect the strength and direction of the
wind. The wind turbine captures the winds kinetic energy ina rotor consisting of two or more blades mechanically
coupled to an electrical generator. The turbine is mounted on a tall tower to enhance the energy capture

IV. HYBRID ENERGY SYSTEM

The Word hybrid means something which is made by the combination of more than one element. In energy system the
electricity can be generated by more than one source at a time like Wind, solar, biomass etc. There are various module
to generate hybrid energy like wind-solar hybrid, Solar-diesel, Wind- hydro andWind–diesel. Among the above hybrid
energy generation module the wind-Solar hybrid module are more important because it is abundant in nature and it is
very much environment friendly.
Hybrid energy generation is more important because the wind not floe continuously and sun radiation is only
present approx. 8 to 10 hours in a day. So for continuous power it is important to hybridize the solar and wind power
with the storage batteries. The hybridization in India has large prospect because over 75 % of Indian household face the
problem like power cut specially in summer

V.BLOCK DIAGRAM OF HYBRID WIND SOLAR ENERGYSYSTEM

The block diagram of the hybrid power generation system using wind and solar power includes the following
blocks.
1. Solar panel
2. Wind turbine
3. Charge controller
4. Battery bank
5. Inverter
1. Solar panel
Solar panel is use to convert solar radiation to the electrical energy. The physical of PV cell is very similar to that of the
classical diode with a PN junction formed by semiconductor material. When the junction absorbs light, the energy of
absorbed photon is transferred to the electronproton system of the material, creating charge carriers that are separated at
the junction. The charge carriers in thejunction region create a potential gradient, get accelerated under the electric field,
and circulate as current through an external circuit. Solar array or panel is a group of a several modules electrically
connected in series parallel combination to generate the required current and voltage. Solar panels are the medium to
convert solar power into the electrical power.

2. Wind turbine
Wind turbine is that system which extracts energy from wind by rotation of the blades of the wind turbine. Basically
wind turbine has two types one is vertical and another is horizontal. As the wind speed increases power generation is
also increases. The power generated from wind is not continuous its fluctuating. For obtain the non-fluctuating power
we have to store in battery and then provide it to the load.

3. Charge controller
Charge controller has basic function is that it control the source which is to be active or inactive. It simultaneously
charge battery and also gives power to the load. The controller has over-charge protection, short-circuit protection, pole
confusion protection and automatic dumpload function. It also the function is that it should vary the power as per the
load demand. It add the both the power so that the load demand can fulfill. And when power is not generating it should
extract power from battery and give it to the load

4. Battery Bank
We have to choose battery bank size per the load requirement so that it should fulfill the requirement of load for
calculating the battery bank size we need to find following data
1.Find total daily use in watt-hour (Wh).
2.Find total back up time of the battery
For increase in battery bank size we need to connect cell in series so that we can get the larger battery bank size.

5. Inverter
We have to choose greater rating inverter than the desired rating .The pure sign wave inverter is recommended in other
to prolong the lifespan of the inverter. Inverter isneed to convert DC power into AC power. As our loadworking on the
AC supply so we need to convert DC power.The input voltage Output voltage and frequency, and overallpower
handling depends on the design of the specific deviceor the circuitry. The inverter does not produce any power. The
power is provided by the DC source

VII. CONCLUSION
Hybrid power generation system is good and effective solution for power generation than conventional energyresources.
It has greater efficiency. It can provide to remoteplaces where government is unable to reach. So that the powercan be
utilize where it generated so that it will reduce thetransmission losses and cost. Cost reduction can be done by
increasing the production of the equipment. People should motivate to use the non conventional energy resources. It is
highly safe for the environment as it doesn’t produce any emission and harmful waste product like conventional energy
resources. It is cost effective solution for generation. It only need initial investment. It has also long life span. Overall it
