ABSTRACT
This paper summarizes the development of an outdoor area lighting system powered by bination of a wind turbine and solar panel. The goal of the project is to establish an autonomous power system capable of supporting the required power of the light and to study the performance of the system’ponents. This paper will focus on the integration of the ponents into a functioning unit and the resulting preliminary performance of the system as a whole.
INTRODUCTION
Over the last decade, public works projects have shown a greater interest in utilizing “green” power for their small load applications than in years passed. This has included the addition of solar panels to area lights and blinking warning lights. Wind power has seen increased usage in large scale power production with the construction of wind posed of large horizontal axis wind turbines. Vertical axis turbines have seen limited development for small scale applications.
Each source of power, wind and solar, has
