Introduction

Hybrid Inverter is also known as Smart Hybrid Inverter

Hybrid Inverter is a new generation of dedicated U.P.S

(Uninterrupted Power Supply) using renewable energy for
home consumption, especially for solar photovoltaic
installations

Renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy etc.

An inverter is an electrical device that converts Direct Current

(DC) to Alternating Current (AC)

Department of Electrical Engineering

Motivation

The wind & solar hybrid inverter

consist of solar panel, wind turbine,
controller, inverter & batteries, all of
which can function independently
without utility power

The wind solar hybrid system are

now being used widely in different
fields, like street lighting , traffic ,
telecommunications base, large
scale billboards & home power

Aims & Objectives

Project main objective is to sense cheapest available source to

store the charge on battery

shift the load to the efficient, inexpensive source available

To minimize the use of WAPDA supply

Department of Electrical Engineering

Strategy

3 Inputs are being used simultaneously

AC to DC Conversion (Where Necessary)

Buck Boost Regulator for DC Regulation

Comparing sources via comparator

Indication & Selection of source via Micro Controller

Relays & MOSFETS for switching operation

Inverter Circuit for AC Output Voltage

Department of Electrical Engineering

Methodology

Different types of sources are available at input, in which we

have DC as well as AC supplies so we convert AC into DC using
rectifiers which goes to comparator and relay block
Comparator circuit compares available sources and assist the
microcontroller to select the cost effective source by relays
switching along with relay drivers
Inexpensive selected source charges the battery and inverter
block directly converts the 12V DC into 220V AC for appliances
operating at 220V AC as a load
Indicator block is connected to microcontroller which show the
battery level, selected source and any fault condition with the
help of LEDs

Expected Result

Project proposed result is to select one of costeffective source to charge the battery and shift the
load on it

The proposed project can save a lot of electricity

charges by choosing the source smartly

Automatic Power management system will be

achieved
