Abstract
Access to electricity is now a basic requirement of mankind. There are still many places in the world which have no access to electrical energy. Even though many of these places might have substantial potential for energy generation the resources are not utilized or identified properly. So, in remote places generation of electricity from renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, could be a good option. For stand-alone, isolated, or off-grid system the energy needs to be stored whenever it is available from these sources and supplied if required. In hilly and remote regions where renewable energy potential is high, large-scale generating systems could also be an option but due to the complex geography and difficult infrastructure, small-scale systems might seem more feasible. The energy from these renewable/natural sources tends to vary throughout the day and hence optimizing the energy capture is necessary. The major objective of this paper is to identify and suggest a simple and flexible system that optimizes the power generation from all of these renewable sources. In this paper, a brief overview of various hybrid systems’ connection topologies having wind, solar, and diesel genset has been discussed.
