Analysis of Wind-Hydro Hybrid System using Battery Storage in Balanced Condition

Abstract

The growing demand of electrical energy and fewer or limited resources to fulfil the present energy requirements leads to focus on the renewable energy sources like Wind with integration with the Hydro sources. Today environmental concerns and higher rate of electricity gives importance to the renewable sources of energy. The wind energy today forms a vital source of energy, as it is available in the universe free of cost and provides opportunities for research and development for the future engineers. If Wind Energy is used with some other source like the Solar and Hydro, it can form a very efficient source of energy. In addition, they should be some storage technique adopted to store the energy during availability in excess and discharge during light load conditions. The paper presents the research work carried out to demonstrate the features of the SCIG machine to harness the wind power and provide rated power output under balanced load conditions. The system uses Hydro system, which compliments the Wind system. The battery system is employed to store the energy.
