Design a hybrid energy system for household using small vertical wind turbine

Abstract

Nowadays, in the context of the demand for energy is growing by the day, the fossil energy sources are being depleted and environmental pollution problems caused by the exploitation and use of this energy resources is causing severe consequences for life on Earth, the development of renewable energy has become a strong trend throughout the world. In types of renewable energy sources, solar and wind energy are the two most potential renewable energy sources because they have greater availability in all areas and they should be able to exploit in various sizes and forms. However, a single renewable energy source system can't provide a continuous power because of difference of the weather condition of seasons. So, research and use a hybrid energy system is necessary. To exploit wind energy efficiently, design of the high-performance wind turbine's blade profiles is extremely important. To maintain the performance of the panels at the highest level we need a system of adjustable panels that are always facing the sun. This paper will show the design process of a hybrid energy system with a helical darrieus wind turbine and a sun tracking solar panels system. The purpose of this system is generating an uninterrupted power without damaging the nature, applying easily in areas where people do not have electricity grid and helping households in areas where people have electricity grid reduce the cost of electricity consumption. A hybrid energy system with calculated power 1136 Wh/day is designed.
