Design of Future Tree to Harvest Solar and Wind Energy

Renewable energy sources i.e. energy generated from solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, geothermal and ocean resources are considered as a technological option for generating clean energy. But the energy generated from solar and windaloneismuch less than that produced by fossil fuels, however, electricity generation by utilizing PV cells and wind turbinetogether is increasingrapidly in recent yearsas an alternative source. This paper presents the Solar-Wind hybrid Power system that harnesses the renewable energies ofSun and Wind to generate electricity using the concept of the PVC pipe material based VAWT blades with anl/d ratio of 1andPV cells of 3 watt.System control relies mainly on microcontroller. It ensures the optimum utilization of resources and hence improve the efficiency as compared with their individual mode of generation. Also it increases the reliability and reduces the dependence on one single source. This hybrid solar-wind power generating systemis suitable for domestic areas
