Integration of solar PV — Micro hydro power system for household application

摘要

Solar Photo Voltaic Panels penetrates Indian market at large extent. Even though the net metering and other advanced control system has been developed, energy storage part needs much more attention. Even in on grid system there is an darkness on using these power during the interruption of grid power. This paper attempts a novel methodology for replacing the conventional energy storage mechanism. The solar PV panel is directly operates the DC motor and lift the water. The fluctuation on the intensity increase or decrease the discharge of water. From the storage tank a drainage pipeline will be put up and as and when the power is needed the water is drained and micro hydro turbine will be operated. Micro hydro turbine is coupled to a generator and water has been drained directly to the sump. There is no maintenance cost involved in this system. These conversion process is fully eco-friendly techniques and full fill the green building technology.
