ABSTRACT
Demand for renewable energy sources is increasing due to shortage of

power as well as environmental concerns.Almost 70 percent of our energy
requirements are satisfied by fossil fuels. Global warming, pollution and sky
racketing prices of the conventional energy sources have put the governments and
the power industries under an increasing pressure to invest in the renewable
energy sources.We can depend on PV source, wind energy, biomass, etc. for
meeting energy demands.
In this project, a Wind – Solar Hybrid Street Lighting System is proposed

to replace the street lights powered by conventional and polluting energy sources.
Due to the intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources, the reliability
cannot be maintained. So the need for hybrid system arises. Generally, PV and
wind powers are complementary since sunny days are calm and strong wind
occurs on cloudy days or in night time. Therefore by using a wind-PV hybrid
system may result in availability of continuous power than with individual
sources.
The PV system is modelled by considering the changes in solar irradiance

and temperature. The maximum power point is obtained using the MPPT
controller. The system is modelled and analyzed using MATLAB/ Simulink. The
new system will result in high reliability, low cost and better utilization of
resources available.

SOLAR AND WIND HYBRID STREET LIGHT SYSTEM
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROBLEM DEFINITION
There are hundreds and thousands of street lights installed throughout the city.
Its operation is during the peak hours at night, and it draws a considerable amount of
power from the grid. In case of street lighting system in coastal areas, it is difficult to
power up the street lights near the coast-line directly from the grid due to the risk of
electric shocks.
Another problem currently faced in street lighting in coastal areas is that the
salinity in the coastal atmosphere corrodes the lamp, thereby reducing its life span.
1.2 AIM OF THE PROJECT
`This project aims at designing and developing a small-scale wind-solar hybrid

street lighting system for coastal areas. It generates the required power on-site by using
solar cells and wind turbines. This intelligent system then utilizes this power for
lighting automatically at night. The theoretical study and modelling of a solar-wind
hybrid system was conducted as a part of this project. The existing street lighting uses
supply from KSEB for its operation. A comparison study is conducted between the
conventional lighting scheme and the hybrid system in order to check the viability of
the hybrid system.

WORKING
2.1 WORKING IN DETAIL

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are becoming popular for remote
area power generation applications due to advances in renewable energy technologies
and subsequent rise in prices of petroleum products. A hybrid energy system usually
consists of two or more renewable energy sources used together to provide increased
system efficiency as well as greater balance in energy supply. Wind solar hybrid street
lighting is an intelligent and complete stand-alone LED street lighting system.
Composed of solar modules and small wind turbine, deep cycle batteries, controller and
one or few street lights, this hybrid system harvests energy from both wind and solar
and store it in deep cycle batteries to power street lights during night. Using a
combination of wind & solar resources the system will provides a stable and constant
flow of power to power the street lighting

Fig 2.2: Block diagram
As shown in the Fig 2.2, the system consists of a PV panel whose output is fed to
MPPT controller. The optimal point of operation of the solar cell is tracked and set
accordingly by the MPPT algorithm. The power is then fed to the battery through a
buck converter. Similarly, we have a wind turbine along with its controller. The power
generated by the wind turbine is fed to the battery. The automatic lamp controller uses
the output from PV panel to determine the lighting conditions, and operate the lamp
accordingly.
The major advantage of wind solar hybrid street lighting system is that when
solar and wind power productions are used together, the reliability of the system is
enhanced. Additionally, the size of battery storage can be reduced slightly as there is
less reliance on one method of power production. Often, when there is no sun, there is
plenty of wind. Wind speeds are often low in periods (noon time & summer) when the
sun resources are at their best. On the other hand, the wind is often stronger in periods
(evening time & spring, winter) when there are less sun resources. Even during the
same day, in many regions worldwide or in some periods of the year, there are different
and opposite patterns in terms of wind and solar resources. And those different patterns
can make the wind solar hybrid systems the best option for street lighting.

CHAPTER 3
PHOTOVOLATAIC GENERATING SYSTEM
3.1 PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL
Solar cell is basically a p-n junction fabricated in a thin wafer or layer of

semiconductor. The electromagnetic radiation of solar energy can be directly converted
to electricity through photovoltaic effect. The solar panel generates low level dc
voltages (generally between 12 and 68 volts), depending on the technology used in the
panel construction. The input required for almost all electrical equipments is single
phase or three phase ac. Therefore power interfacing or power conditioning devices are
necessary to connect the electrical equipments to the solar panel. The power
conditioning devices includes a dc-dc boost converter and an inverter with control
circuits. A dc-dc buck converter is used to increase the dc voltage level to obtain
required output voltage. After the buck conversion, an inverter is required to convert
dc-ac. The switching frequencies are selected in such a way that there should be
compromise between the switching losses and output filter size. In this chapter the
modelling of PV generating system with the changes in solar irradiation level and
temperature is explained. The MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) is done using
incremental conductance algorithm.
3.1.1 Photovoltaic Effect
Photovoltaic (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar

radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the
photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic power generation employs solar panels composed of
number of cells containing a photovoltaic material. Materials presently used for

photovoltaic include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon,
cadmium telluride, and copper indium selenide/sulphide. Due to the growing demand
for renewable energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays
has advanced considerably in recent years.
The photovoltaic effect is the creation of a voltage (or a corresponding electric
current) in a material upon exposure to light. Though the photovoltaic effect is directly
related to the photoelectric effect, the two processes are different and should be
distinguished. In the photoelectric effect, electrons are ejected from a material’s surface
upon exposure to radiation of sufficient energy. The photovoltaic effect is different in
that the generated electrons are transferred between different bands (i.e., from the
valence to conduction bands) within the material, resulting in the build-up of a voltage
between two electrodes.
In most photovoltaic applications the radiation is sunlight and for this reason the
devices are known as solar cells. In the case of a p-n junction solar cell, illuminating the
material creates an electric current as excited electrons and the remaining holes are
swept in different directions by the built-in electric field of the depletion region.
3.1.2 Solar Cells
Fig 3.1: Solar cell

A solar cell is shown in Fig.3.1. Numbers of Solar cells are connected in series
to form photovoltaic module. Different photovoltaic modules are connected together to
form photovoltaic array. A PV cell, PV module and PV array is shown in Fig. 3.2 Solar
cells produce electricity directly from sunlight. Photovoltaics are best known as a
method for generating electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the
sun into a flow of electrons.
Fig3.2: PV cell, module and array
The photovoltaic effect refers to photons of light exciting electrons into a higher
state of energy, allowing them to act as charge carriers for an electric current. The term
photovoltaic denotes the unbiased operating mode of a photodiode in which current
through the device is entirely due to the transduced light energy. Virtually all
photovoltaic devices are some type of photodiode. Solar cells produce direct current
electricity from sun light, which can be used to power equipment or to recharge a
battery. The first practical application of photovoltaics was to power orbiting satellites
and other spacecraft, but today the majority of photovoltaic modules are used for grid
connected power generation

3.1.3 Current Developments

The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in
one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the earth non-
renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas and mined uranium combined. Solar
technologies are broadly characterized as either passive or active depending upon the
way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Active solar techniques use
photovoltaic panels, pumps, and fans to convert sunlight into useful outputs.
The solar energy produced in India in 2007 was less than 1 percent of the total
energy demand. By July 2012 the installed grid connected photovoltaics had increased
to 1040.67 MW and India expects to install an additional 10,000 MW by 2017 and total
of 20,000 MW by 2022. India is ranked number one in terms of solar energy production
per watts installed, with an insolation of 1,700 to 1,900 kW hours per KW peak. Gujarat
has been leader in solar power generation and contributes 2/3rdof the 900 MW of
photovoltaics in the country.
The solar Energy Centre (SEC), established in 1982, is a dedicated unit of the
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Govt of India for the development of solar
energy technologies and its related science and engineering. The centre has developed a
variety of technical facilities for technology evaluation and validation, testing and
standardization, performance reliability, monitoring and data analysis apart from
training. The ministry of New and Renewable Energy provides 70 percent subsidy on
the installation cost of a solar photovoltaic power plant in North East states and
30percent subsidy on other regions. The detailed outlay of the National Solar Mission
highlights various targets set by the government to increase solar energy in the
country’s energy portfolio. In view of exponentially increasing energy requirement n
global basis, solar energy exploration, its storage and its optimal utilization, provides
ever-lasting meaningful solution. This area will remain evergreen due to the availability
of abundant solar energy.

3.2 MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING
We can use the relation of output power against voltage of a PV array to develop
an on-line maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. There are different
methods to track the optimum operating point. The common methods are:-
 Perturb and Observe Algorithm
 Method of Incremental Conductance
3.2.1 Perturb and Observe Algorithm
Perturb and Observe algorithms are widely used in MPPT because of their
simple structure and the few measured parameters which are required. They operate by
periodically perturbing (i.e. incrementing or decrementing) the array terminal voltage
and comparing the PV output power with that of the previous perturbation cycle. If the
power is increasing, the perturbation will continue in the same direction in the next
cycle, otherwise the perturbation direction will be reversed. This means the array
terminal voltage is perturbed every MPPT cycle; therefore when the MPOP is reached,
the Perturb and Observe algorithm will oscillate around it resulting in a loss of PV
power, especially in cases of constant or slowly varying atmospheric conditions. This
problem can be solved by improving the logic of the Perturb and Observe algorithm to
compare the parameters of two preceding cycles in order to check when the MPOP is
reached, and bypass the perturbation stage. Another way to reduce the power loss
around the MPOP is to decrease the perturbation step. However, the algorithm will be
slow in following the MPOP when the atmospheric conditions start to vary and more
power will be lost.

Fig 3.3: Deviation of Perturb and Observe algorithm from MPOP.
In cases of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions, as a result of moving

clouds, it was noted that the Perturb and Observe MPPT algorithm deviates from the
MPOP. This can be explained by considering the change in solar radiation as shown in
Fig. 4.4. Assume that initially the array operating voltage, (Point l), coincides with the
MPOP when a perturbation is made towards Point (2). Now, an increase in the array
power will be measured because the solar radiation has increased from S1 to
S2.However, for the Perturb and Observe algorithm, the power has increased because
the new MPOP is towards the right whereas it has already been passed, i.e. Point(4). In
the following perturbation, the Perturb and Observe algorithm will increment the array
operating voltage further right, point(3), and again an increase in the array power will
be measured because the solar radiation has increased from S2 to S3 with new MPOP,
Point(5). In this way, the Perturb and Observe algorithm will continue to deviate from
the actual MPOP, with a corresponding power loss, until the solar radiation change
slows or settles down.
Perturb and observe method varies only the reference voltage, implementation is
simple. However, when the maximum power point is reached, the reference voltage still
varies periodically. This causes oscillation around the maximum power point,
especially in the case of invariant or slowly changing environmental conditions.

Fig 3.4: Output power using Perturb and Observe algorithm

Fig 3.5: Flowchart of Perturb and Observe algorithm

3.2.2 Incremental Conductance Method
The incremental conductance method based on the fact that, the slope of the
PV array of the power curve is zero at the MPP, positive on the left of the MPP. And
negative on the right on the MPP. This can be given by,

CHAPTER 4
WIND GENERATING SYSTEM
A Wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy of wind
into mechanical energy. Wind turbines capture the power from the wind by means of
aerodynamically designed blades and convert it to rotating mechanical power. The
number of blades is normally three. As the blade tip-speed typically should be lower
than half the speed of sound the rotational speed will decrease as the radius of the blade
increases. The most weight efficient way to convert the low-speed, high-torque power
to electrical power is using a gear-box and a standard fixed speed generator as
illustrated in Fig4.1. The gear-box is optional as multi-pole generator systems are
possible solutions. Between the grid and the generator a power converter can be
inserted. The electrical output can either be AC or DC.
Fig 4.1: Wind Energy Conversion System

4.1 Wind Turbine
The output power of the wind turbine by the wind turbine (power delivered by
the by the rotor is given by (4.1)
ω m𝑅 3
Pt = 0.5 ρACp ( λ, β)(vw) 3 = 0.5 ρACp ( ) (4.1)
λ
Where ρ is the air density (kilograms per cubic meter), vw is the wind speed in
meters per second, A is the blades swept area, and Cp is the turbine-rotor-power
coefficient, which is a function of the tip-speed ratio (λ) and pitch angle (β). Ωm =
rotational speed of turbine rotor in mechanical radians per second, and R = radius of the
turbine. The coefficient of performance of a wind turbine is influenced by the tip-speed
to wind-speed ratio, which is given by (4.2),
TSR = (ωmR/vw) (4.2)
The wind turbine can produce maximum power when the turbine operates at
maximum Cp (i.e., at Cp (opt)). Therefore, it is necessary to keep the rotor speed at an
optimum value of the tip-speed ratio λ opt. If the wind speed varies, the rotor speed
should be adjusted to follow the change.
The torque can be obtained using the relation (4.3) as:- Tw = Pwω (4.3)

Fig 4.2 Power coefficient vs tip speed ratio
4.2 Wind Generating Systems
Wind energy conversion systems (WECS) that are used as interface between the
generator (variable voltage and frequency) and the grid (fixed voltage and frequency). It
is a type of a synchronous generator where the excitation field is provided by a
permanent magnet instead of a coil. PMSG are widely used in the wind energy
conversion systems, especially in the small or medium power range, which increases
the conversion efficiency and reduces the maintenance cost due to brushless design. A
typical PMSG based wind energy conversion system is shown in Fig.4.5 in which a full
power capacity AC-DC-DC power converter.

Fig 4.3: Wind Generating System model
The output of the turbine is fed to the generator. The output from the generator is
rectified using an uncontrolled diode bridge rectifier. Here an uncontrolled rectifier is
used because this rectifier is then connected to a DC-DC converter, so by controlling
the converter, the output voltage can be regulated. The output from the rectifier is fed to
the DC-DC converter. The converter used in the wind generating system is same as that
used in the photovoltaic generating system. The switching frequency of the buck
converter is also same as that of the buck converter of the photovoltaic system. The
switching of the buck converter of the wind generating system is obtained by using the
PWM technique. The duty ratio of the buck converter is obtained by using the (4.4)
Vin
𝐷 =1− (4.4)
Vo

where, Vin is the output voltage of the rectifier and Vo, is the output voltage of
the PV array. So that the output voltage of the two generating system will be same and
can be connected to a common DC link.

6.2 PV PANEL SIMULATION
6.2.1 Mathematical Model of PV panel

There are different methods to model PV systems, by using the current equation
or by using voltage equation. The output of the PV array varies according to changes in

atmospheric condition. So the effect of those changes should be incorporated in the

model. In this project the current equation is used to model the PV system.
Fig 6.2: PV cell model
The solar module is a non-linear device and can be represented as a current

source model, as shown in Fig.6.3. Where Rsh, Rs, Ro represents internal shunt
resistance, the internal series resistance and the output resistance respectively, Io is the
output current, Id is the diode current and Vo is the output voltage of the panel.
The output current from the photovoltaic array is given by (6.1).

where, V = Vo -IRs.
The basic equation for the ideal case of the elementary PV cell does not
represent the I–V characteristic of a practical PV array, actually practical arrays are

composed of several connected PV cells and the observation of the characteristics at the
terminals of the PV array is expressed by considering one the parameter called “I”
which is given by:
𝑞(V +IRs)
I = IL- Id{𝑒𝑥𝑝 ( ) − 1}– 1 (6.2)

In the above mentioned equation, the parameter IL and Id are expressed as:
IL = IL(Tr) { 1+αIsc(𝑇 − Tr)} (6.3)

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CIRCUIT
7.1 ENERGY CALCULATIONS
 LED light =24 watt

• For 12 hours =24 X 12 =288watt hour
• Required Ah =288/12=24Ah
• So choose 12V,40Ah battery
 Solar panel 100 watt x 4 hour = 400 watt hour
 Wind turbine 100 watt X4 hour =400 watt hour
 Energy generated per day 800 watt hour
 Energy requirement = 288watt hour
 Thus the design is providing 20 hours autonomy to ensure trouble free
operation
7.2 SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS USED
• Solar panel = 100 watts , 12V

CHAPTER 9
CONCLUSION
The proposed Wind-Solar hybrid street lighting system will help to reduce the
peak load demand from the grid. The hybrid system ensures continuous operation of the
system and increases the reliability. The system has been designed using non-corrosive
and durable materials to withstand the corrosive saline winds in the coastal region
thereby ensuring long life.
 Software analysis of the project has been done (MATLAB).Simulations have

been done based on the mathematical equations of solar photovoltaic system.
MPPT system based on the incremental conductance algorithm has been done.
Final output was found to be 12V DC with 50w power output.
 A hybrid street lighting system was installed at Shangumugham using fund

obtained from Kerala State Council for Science,Technology and
Environment(KSCSTE).
 A comparison study was conducted on existing highmast lighting system and the
hybrid lighting system. Even though the initial cost of hybrid system is high, it
has less maintenance and running costs. So considering the long term economy.

Pin Configurations

PA0 TO PA7
They are used as input/ output ports. They can also be used as secondary pins.
When used as secondary pins they are used as ADCs. Port A also serves as an 8-bit
bi-directional I/O port, if the A/D Converter is not used. Port pins can provide
internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port A output buffers have
symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. When
pins PA0 to PA7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low, they will source
current if the internal pull-up resistors are activated. The Port A pins are tri-stated
when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
PB0 TO PB7
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected
for each bit). The Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with
both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally
pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port B pins
are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
PC0 TO PC7
Port C is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected
for each bit). The Port C output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with
both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are externally
pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port C pins
If the JTAG interface is enabled, the pull-up resistors on pins PC5 (TDI), PC3
(TMS) and PC2 (TCK) will be activated even if a reset occurs.
PD0 TO PD7
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected
for each bit). The Port D output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with
both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally

pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port D pins
RESET
Reset Input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length
will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running.
AVcc, AREF
AVCC is the supply voltage pin for Port A and the A/D Converter. It should be
externally connected to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it
should be connected to VCC through a low-pass filter.

REGISTERS IN IO PORTS


HALL EFFECT SENSOR ACS712
 PCB board size: 31 (mm) x13 (mm)
 No test current through the output voltage is VCC / 2
 The current sensor chips: ACS712ELC-05B
 Pin 5V power supply, on-board power indicator
 The module can measure the positive and negative 5A corresponding to the
analog output 185mV / A

L298 DUAL FULL-BRIDGE DRIVER
DESCRIPTION
The L298 is an integrated monolithic circuit in a 15-lead Multiwatt and

PowerSO20 packages. It is a high voltage, high current dual full-bridge driver designed
to accept standard TTL logic levels and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids,
DC and stepping motors. Two enable inputs are provided to enable or disable the device
independently of the input signals. The emitters of the lower transistors of each bridge
are connected together and the corresponding external terminal can be used for the
connection of an external sensing resistor. An additional supply input is provided so
that the logic works at a lower voltage.
