INTRODUCTION:
WHAT IS A HYBRID SYSTEM?
Integration of two or more renewable energy source (In this case) to form a more reliable system is called a hybrid system
WHY SHOULD WE USE A HYBRID SYSTEM?
One drawback with renewable energy sources is their variability
To mitigate this problem we use a hybrid system
WHEN WILL IT BE EFFECTIVE?
Solar energy will contribute the daytime running of the load and charging of storage device during day.
Wind will contribute its energy during its flow time to the load.
WHICH IS THE BEST HYBRID AT THIS MOMENT?
Solar energy is the only source of energy that is available almost everyday.
Wind is the second most abundant source. Hence a solar-wind hybrid system would be the
most effective system
WHERE WILL IT BE EFFECTIVE?
The place of installation must have abundant solar insolation.
The place must have high wind flow rate which must be fairly predictable.
HOW CAN YOU STORE THE ENERGY?
Traditionally batteries are used for storage. Recent innovations in this field led to the
highly efficient fuel cell technology.
Performance of Energy Storage Systems
Fuel Energy density Wh/kg
Gasoline 12,300
Natural gas 9,300
Hydrogen 33,000

OVERVIEW
The objective of this project is to integrate these efficient systems into a single hybrid system for a better energy generation and storage for a 1kW load.
The power generated from wind is the primary contributor with 1kW. In case of deficit, power from PV module is used for compensating the additional requirement.
FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY
The type of fuel cell technology designed to be used in this project is a PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) stack.
The fuel cell is designed for a capacity of 1 kW.

INNOVATIONS FOR FUTURE
There are great innovations in the field of wind, solar and fuel cell energy system.
In wind energy the piezoelectric effect can be brought in and flutter turbines that can be installed in domestic places can be made.
The efficiency of the PV module used can be increased with multi-junction cells, which at this point is very costly but will play a major role in the future.
Photo electrochemical cell can be integrated with the fuel cell for better energy conversion through direct conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
