Abstract:
The Renewable energy becoming popular in the recent decade due to soaring fuel prices
and due to technological advancements which reduce the cost of mentioned technology. As
well known, the Palestinian energy sector totally depends on the Israeli sector, due to that
reason, the cost of electricity is too much high than anywhere else in the world. Because of
Solar and Wind sources are the most available once in Palestine they should be used in
present project as Hybrid system.
The purpose of this project is to design a hybrid system that combines several energy
systems (Photovoltaic and wind turbine) together with control system (PLC), so it can
supply high reliable electricity rather than individual sources. This project describes the
application of PV-wind hybrid with control system in domestic use, where the average
consumption of the houses in domestic sector is found around 4045 Kwh/year. Based on
the estimated energy consumption the designed PV system should cover the daily
consumption, while the designed wind turbine should the cover night consumption. In
addition to the excess or shortages of energy should be delivered to the grid or received
from the grid in order to fulfill the required consumption mainly in night time and cloudy
weather. The control of the energy exchange and estimation should be realized by PLC
system.
The hybrid system will be studied economically in order to estimate its feasibility and the
prospects to be applied in large scale in Hebron – Palestine.
Moreover, Unity pro , PV sys and Excel software will be used to analyses and design the
hybrid system.
