Solar power
is a demand of our planet in coming days due to the depletion of non-renewable
sources of energy. The renewable sources of energy are responsible for 80 % of
world’s power and we all are directly dependent on non-renewable source which
will only last in coming decades. Due to increase in power demands new
development in renewable sources of energy are going on due to which on
commercial level solar cell achieved an efficiency of 15 – 20 % and improving
day by day. At a panel inclination of 22 oC, the effect of panel
temperature and relative humidity on photovoltaic are studied. A precision
digital hygrometer and thermometer, and a digital clamp meter were used in the
process. Results obtained show that the effect of relative humidity on current,
voltage, power of single and 10 panels combined together. The results also show
that voltage and current remain fairly stable between 15 % to 35 % relative
humidity. Panel’s temperature also plays a significant role on performance
after 55 ºC, the voltage started dropping in both cases. Output from the wind
turbine has also been measured on a working condition day, and different
readings have been recorded with an interval of 15 mins at different wind
speeds. It works by converting the kinetic energy in the wind first into
rotational kinetic energy in the turbine and then electrical energy that can be
supplied. The output energy comes directly depend on speed of wind and the
blades swept area. Renewable Energy Hybrid System (REHS) is a system that
utilizes two sources or more of renewable energy. As an advantage, it will
produce continuous source of energy and utilizing one source in the absence of
other source(s). The aim of this study is to enhance the energy output of
renewable energy system which is the wind turbine by incorporating solar
panels.
