Basic need of human being is energy. There is different form of energy available on earth which is used by the people but electrical energy is best among all. Renewable energy sources i.e. solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, hydro power energy, and ocean energy resources are considered as a technological option for generating electrical energy. But the energy generated from solar and wind is much less than the production by fossil fuels, however, the generation of electricity by utilizing PV cells and wind turbine increased rapidly in recent years. This presents the Solar-Wind Integration. Power system that harnesses the renewable energies in Sun and Wind to generate electricity with increased efficiency. System control relies mainly on microcontroller. It ensures the optimum utilization of resources and hence improves the efficiency as compared with their individual mode of generation. Further, to avoid the issue of the solar panels’ efficiency, we have been implementing the solar tracking system. In Thus, it increases the reliability and reduces the dependence on one single source. This hybrid solar-wind power generating system is suitable for industries and also domestic areas. The initial cost of the project may be high for standalone system, but if the hybrid generation system is connected to grid, entire generation system can recovers its initial cost in 3 to 4 years and per unit consumption charges from grid can be reduced by credit facility provided under the net metering scheme. Battery storage is also provided as an additional backup system which stores the power generated by the solar wind hybrid system for compensating the case simultaneous occurrence of power cuts and the non-availability of hybrid resources. This hybrid system not only encourages the distributed generation system, but also provides some relaxation to the utilities and helps in controlling the environmental pollution which is one of the greatest concerns amongst the world growing with an extreme rate. It also ensures reliable and self-sustainable electricity.
