OPTIMUM LOADING OF HYBRID SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER

1. Introduction

The hybrid power system is a comprehensive electrical power supply system that can be easily configured to meet a broad range of power needs. Hybrid systems, like the name implies, combine two or more modes of electricity generation together, usually using renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines. Hybrid systems provide a high level of energy security through the mix of generation methods, and often will incorporate a storage system (battery, fuel cell) or gird tied supply system to ensure maximum supply reliability and security.

There are three basic elements to this system - the power source, the battery, and the power management center. Power sources are wind turbine, solar energy and grid connection. The battery allows autonomous operation by compensating for the difference between power production and utilization. The power management center regulates power production from each of the sources, controls power use by classifying loads, and protects the battery from service extremes. Figure 1 shows a simple arrangement for a hybrid system comprising of solar and wind generations, connection to the existing utility network. Power can be taken from utility or can be feed back to utility.



Figure 1 Hybrid supply system concept 

In general, Hybrid Power Systems have to meet different requirements depending on the appliances served, the consumer behavior, the consumer’s demands on the power quality and the energy sources available locally. While mobile phone antennas need to be supplied with almost constant power of high quality, small villages have a fluctuating and usually growing energy demand while short term power outages are not critical.

To realize cost efficient power supply with the required power quality an individual system design considering all site specific aspects is essential.

2. Solar Energy

The Solar Modules (Photovoltaic Cell) generate DC electricity when ever sun light falls in solar cells. The Solar Modules should be titled in an optimum angle for the particular location face due to south, and should not be shaded at any time in a day. Motorized control can be used to rotate solar panels in the direction of sun and ensure maximum sun light.

3. Wind Energy

Wind is the natural phenomenon related to the movement of air masses caused by the primarily by the differential solar heating of the earth’s surface. Seasonal variation in the energy received from the sun affects the strength and direction of the wind. The wind turbine capture the wind kinetic energy in a 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.

4. Grid Power

Electrical power is generated in bulk amount and transmitted to power grid and then distributed to the consumers. Its performance affects the consumers ‘appliances and also the economy of the power system. Existing system near the consumers is a three phase four wire system.

8. Scope of the research Project

Now a days, world is facing the energy crisis the most optimist fact is that the main energy resources (Oil and natural Gas) are exhausted in 2050. In this scenario the only solution is finding and using new energy resources. Solar and wind energies are the solution in this scenario but the solar energy and wind energy highly depending on the climate conditions and also expensive but the combination of these technologies can be considered as hybrid supply system with high reliability to satisfy the electrical load of the residential customer.

BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE AND DIELECTRIC STRENGTH

An insulator or dielectric is a substance within which there are no mobile electrons necessary for electric conduction. However, when the voltage applied to such an insulator exceeds a certain value, then it breaks down and allows a heavy electric current (much larger than the usual leakage current) to flow through it. If the insulator is a solid medium, it gets punctured or cracked. The disruptive or breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage required to break it down. Dielectric strength of an insulator or dielectric medium is given by the maximum potential difference which a unit thickness of the medium can withstand without breaking down. In other words, the dielectric strength is given by the potential gradient necessary to cause breakdown of an insulator. Its unit is volt/meter (V/m) although it is usually expressed in KV/mm. For example, when we say that the dielectric strength of air is 3 KV/mm, then it means that the maximum PD which one mm thickness of ...

Advantages of Per Unit System in Power System Analysis | Electrical Engineering

  Advantages of Per Unit System in Power System Analysis In electrical power engineering, the per unit (p.u.) system is one of the most widely used techniques for analyzing and modeling power systems. It is a method of expressing electrical quantities — such as voltage, current, power, and impedance — as fractions of chosen base values rather than their actual numerical magnitudes. This normalization technique provides a universal language for system calculations, minimizing errors, simplifying transformer modeling, and enabling consistency across multiple voltage levels. Because of these benefits, the per unit system is essential in fault analysis, load flow studies, transformer testing, and short-circuit calculations . ⚡ What is the Per Unit System? The per unit system is defined as: Q u a n t i t y ( p u ) = A c t u a l   V a l u e B a s e   V a l u e Quantity_{(pu)} = \dfrac{Actual \ Value}{Base \ Value} Q u an t i t y ( p u ) ​ = B a se   ...

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Frequency Control in Power Systems Author: Engr. Aneel Kumar Keywords: frequency control, primary frequency control, automatic generation control (AGC), tertiary control, load-frequency control, grid stability. Frequency control keeps the power grid stable by balancing generation and load. When generation and demand drift apart, system frequency moves away from its nominal value (50 or 60 Hz). Grids rely on three hierarchical control layers — Primary , Secondary (AGC), and Tertiary — to arrest frequency deviation, restore the set-point and optimize generation dispatch.

ELECTRIC MOTOR PRINCIPLES

The electric motor in its simplest terms is a converter of electrical energy to useful mechanical energy. The electric motor has played a leading role in the high productivity of modern industry, and it is therefore directly responsible for the high standard of living being enjoyed throughout the industrialized world. An electric motor’s principle of operation is based on the fact that a current- carrying conductor, when placed in a magnetic field, will have a force exerted on the conductor proportional to the current flowing in the conductor and to the strength of the magnetic field. In alternating current motors, the windings placed in the laminated stator core produce the magnetic field. The aluminum bars in the laminated rotor core are the current carrying conductors upon which the force acts. The resultant action is the rotary motion of the rotor and shaft, which can then be coupled to various devices to be driven and produce the output. Many types of motors are produced today. Un...

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM OF DIESEL ENGINE

Fuel injection is a system for mixing fuel with air in an internal combustion engine. A fuel injection system is designed and calibrated specifically for the type of fuel it will handle. Most fuel injection systems are for diesel applications. With the advent of electronic fuel injection (EFI), the diesel gasoline hardware has become similar. EFI’s programmable firmware has permitted common hardware to be used with different fuels. Carburetors were the predominant method used to meter fuel before the widespread use of fuel injection. A variety of injection systems have existed since the earliest usage of the internal combustion engine. The primary difference between carburetors and fuel injection is that fuel injection atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle under high pressure, while a carburetor relies on low pressure created by intake air rushing through it to add the fuel to the air stream. The fuel injector is only a nozzle and a valve: the power to inj...
