In recent years, sustainable and clean renewable energy resources are widely used instead of fossil fuel energy resources in electrical energy generation systems. Especially, wind and solar energy conversion systems are utilized together in stand-alone systems. In this study, reliability analysis of a hybrid system installed in Davutpasa Campus of Yildiz Technical University is investigated. The system includes a wind turbine, PV panels, a hybrid charge regulator, a MPPT charge controller, an inverter, battery group and loads. Reliability indexes are calculated for analyzed system. The obtained results are examined and presented in this paper.
Energy has always been an important factor for socio-economic development of humans. Most of the energy is generated from fossil fuels in the world. Nevertheless, environmental aspects and depleting of fossil fuels causes increase of renewable energy utilization. The produced energy from renewable energy resources are transferred to grid or used in stand-alone systems. As energy generation depends on environmental conditions, efficiency and energy potential of renewable energy systems changes according to region of installation. In this study, introduction of the solar-wind-battery hybrid system constructed in Davutpasa Campus, YÕldÕz Technical University, and future work for the system are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
