Modeling and Simulation of a Hybrid System of Solar Panels and Wind Turbines for the Supply of Autonomous Electrical Energy to Organic Architectures

Abstract

In this research, the modeling, simulation, and analysis of the energy conversion equations that describe the behavior of a hybrid photovoltaic and wind turbine system that supplies electrical energy to an average organic architecture is performed. Organic constructions have a philosophy that seeks to understand and integrate into the site, taking advantage of the natural potentials and their resources of the surrounding areas so that they form part of a unified and correlated composition. The rooms in these buildings are designed similar to a bean, inspired by the uterus of a mother and her child who are comfortable, at rest, and alive. We are left with the task of spreading this research to integrate its energy potential from the surroundings and transform it into autonomous electrical energy. In this article, a numerical model based on the fundamental equations was developed and coded, and the results compared with experimental data with a real airplane-type system located in a remote area of Ecuador. The model is intended to be used as an optimization and design tool for such hybrid systems applied to organic constructions. After an error analysis it was determined that this model predicted quite interesting results compared to the experimental data under various conditions. It is important to indicate that this analysis has been carried out so that in the future, these power generation systems can be exploited and applied more efficiently in areas far from the public electricity grid.
