Track: Renewable Energy
Abstract
Over the last few years, the use of Renewable Energy (RE) has increased widely, and many projects were focusing on increasing the renewable energy efficiency and decreasing the usage of other resources (nonrenewable) such as fossil fuel that affects greatly our environment. This paper is going to talk about a hybrid wind-solar power system in a remote area of Saudi Arabia which is one of renewable energy (RE) applications and energy savings. The hybrid arrangement of combining the power harnessed from both wind-solar and stored in a cell (battery) can be a much more reliable power source. The load can still be powered using the stored energy in the cells even when there is no sun or wind to supply inaccessible remote areas with electrical energy and thus replacing harmful fossil power sources by clean ones. Finally, the design has been implemented as a prototype with target load 200 W in Effat University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
