This project proposes a dual power generation system that harnesses energy from both solar and wind sources to ensure continuous and efficient renewable power generation. The system is designed around an Arduino UNO microcontroller, which acts as the central controller for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing power flow from the hybrid sources. The setup integrates a solar panel and a wind turbine, each equipped with dedicated charging circuits to safely charge a common rechargeable battery. Real-time monitoring is accomplished using voltage sensors that measure the output from the wind generator, solar panel, and the battery storage. An LDR sensor is used to track sunlight intensity, enabling a single-axis solar tracker mechanism driven by a DC motor via an L293D motor driver, maximizing solar panel efficiency. The Arduino processes sensor data and displays critical parameters on an LCD display through an LCD driver. The stored energy in the battery is then converted to AC power using an inverter to supply a connected load, demonstrating the system’s ability to serve real-world energy demands. This dual-source hybrid power system offers a sustainable and reliable energy solution, especially for remote or off-grid areas, where reliance on a single energy source may not be feasible. By combining solar and wind energy, the system ensures power availability in varying weather conditions, maximizing energy utilization while reducing dependency on non-renewable sources.
