How Does a 25kw Solar Wind Hybrid System Work?

Hello reader, in the today case study, we bring you a 25kw solar wind hybrid system in Senegal. This 25kw solar wind hybrid system supply power to a village, more than 20 families.

Solar wind hybrid system can be a great option for remote places where access to the traditional electrical grid is limited or unavailable.

A solar wind hybrid system can provide a reliable and sustainable source of energy, especially in areas with high levels of sunlight, and where good wind speed.

In these types of locations, a solar wind hybrid system can power essential electrical appliances and devices such as lights, refrigerators, water pumps, and communication equipment.

Mr. Amir comes from a village where in half hill. A place where enjoy high levels of sunlight, and good wind speed.

The village is hard to access electricity, and here is the reason

In 2018, Mr.Amir come to InkPV for a Solar Wind Hybrid Solution for their village.

A solar-wind hybrid system is a combination of a solar power system and a wind power system that work together to provide electricity. The idea behind this system is to combine the strengths of both solar and wind power systems to create a more reliable and efficient source of electricity.

In a solar-wind hybrid system, the solar panels provide electricity during the day when the sun is shining, while the wind turbines generate electricity when the wind is blowing. The electricity generated by both systems is stored in batteries for use when needed, such as during periods of low sun and wind.

In conclusion, a solar-wind hybrid system is a combination of two renewable energy sources that can provide a reliable and sustainable source of electricity, especially in rural and remote areas where access to the grid is limited.

The size of the solar panel system will depend on the power requirement and the solar resource availability.

Hybrid Inverter: A hybrid inverter is used to convert the DC electricity generated by the wind turbine and solar panels into AC electricity that can be used by household appliances and devices.

Battery Storage: A battery storage system is used to store excess energy generated by the wind turbine and solar panels for use during periods of low wind or solar energy production.

Mounting System: A mounting system is required to securely install the wind turbine and solar panels on a suitable location, such as a rooftop or on the ground.

Electrical Wiring: Electrical wiring is required to connect all the components of the wind-solar hybrid power system and to provide a connection to the grid.

It's important to note that the specific requirements for installing a wind-solar hybrid power system can vary depending on the local regulations, climate conditions, and the size of the system.

A dump load is used in wind turbine systems to provide a means of dissipating excess energy that is generated when the wind speed is higher than what the wind turbine can handle. This helps to protect the wind turbine and the electrical system from damage.

In wind turbine systems, the rotor speed must be kept within a specific range to avoid overloading the generator. When the wind speed is too high, the generator produces more energy than the system can handle, which can cause damage to the generator or the electrical system.

The dump load provides a means of absorbing this excess energy by converting it into heat. The dump load is typically a resistor or a device that is designed to heat up when it is supplied with electrical energy. The energy is transferred to the dump load and dissipated as heat, effectively "dumping" the excess energy and preventing it from damaging the wind turbine or the electrical system.

In summary, the dump load is an important component in wind turbine systems that helps to protect the wind turbine and the electrical system from damage due to excess energy generated when the wind speed is too high.

Wiring a dump load for a wind turbine requires careful planning and attention to detail to ensure that the dump load is properly connected and operates as intended. Here is the drawing to wire a dump load for a wind turbine system.
