Hybrid Wind-Solar Energy System

Description:

The “Hybrid Wind-Solar Energy System” is an innovative working model for students that demonstrates how renewable energy sources like wind and solar power can be combined to generate sustainable electricity. This project simulates a dual-energy system that captures wind and solar energy, converting them into usable electricity to power small devices like LED lights.

The model is constructed on a 40 × 50 cm Foam Board or Sun Board base, representing a miniature hybrid renewable energy system. The system operates as follows:

Wind Energy Generation:

• Toy Fan & Cycle Spoke Mechanism: A toy fan is mounted on a cycle spoke and straws, simulating a wind turbine.
• Magnets & 35-Gauge Copper Coil: As the fan rotates due to wind movement, magnets pass near the copper coil, generating an electromagnetic current through induction.
• Aluminum Pipe Support: Provides structural stability for the wind turbine.

Solar Energy Generation:

• Solar Panel: Captures sunlight and converts it into DC electrical energy.
• Toggle Switch: Allows switching between wind and solar power sources for efficient energy management.

Power Output & Components:

• LED Lights: Illuminate when sufficient energy is generated.
• Connecting Wires: Ensure smooth power transmission between components.

This project provides hands-on learning in renewable energy, electromagnetic induction, and hybrid power generation, showcasing how wind and solar energy can be integrated for sustainable electricity production.
