TRANSPORTABLE HYBRID WIND-SOLAR POWER GENERATION SYSTEM TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to power generation system from renewable energy precisely a transportable hybrid Wind-Solar power generation system.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[0003] Solar energy harnesses the sun's light and heat to produce renewable or "green" energy. Photovoltaic (PV) panels which are huge, mirror-like panels handheld solar devices, and even space crafts are the most prevalent means of collecting solar energy. These panels act as conductors, absorbing the sun's rays, heating them, and producing energy (and electricity). Solar thermal power plants, on a bigger scale, use the sun's energy to generate electricity. These plants use the sun's heat to boil water, which then powers steam turbines. These plants have the capacity to power thousands of people.

[0004] Wind power is one of the most rapidly expanding renewable energy technologies. Global usage is increasing, owing in part to lower costs. The wind is used to generate electricity by using the kinetic energy generated by moving air. Wind turbines or wind energy conversion devices convert this into electrical energy. Wind initially strikes a turbine's blades, forcing them to rotate and therefore turning the turbine to which, they are attached. This converts kinetic energy to rotational energy by rotating a shaft attached to a generator and creating electrical energy via electromagnetism.

[0005] Both renewable energies have drawbacks. Wind power has a high initial cost and immaturity of the technology. To begin with, building turbines and wind facilities are prohibitively expensive. The second drawback is immature technology. Whereas solar energy is dependent on the sun, electricity cannot be created at night, therefore you must either store extra energy generated during the day or connect to another power source, such as the local utility grid. Most people believe that storing significant amounts of electrical energy is the single most difficult challenge in producing solar electricity on a large scale. At the moment, battery storage systems for storing solar energy as electrical energy are prohibitively costly. Both the wind and solar energy-producing systems are no portable.

[0006] Efforts have been made in the related prior art to provide an electronic device to produce electricity from renewable energy. For example, United States Application No. 2015028679A1, which relates renewable energy units with the simplified connection.
