Wind Energy System based on Buck-Boost Controller

Abstract

In this edge most of the countries are facing energy related problem, therefore, researchers
are now try to find such a system which should not create any environment issues. In nature
there is various non-conventional resources use for the generation of electricity such as
water, sunlight, geothermal energy. But there is disadvantage of solar energy is that we
cannot generate power using solar energy in rainy season and in night time. Whereas, wind
energy is very safe clean and natural source to generate energy. If the wind speed is low, the
output voltage will not be up to that level to charge the battery as it is lower than the
required charging voltage of the battery. This reason reduces the overall performance
efficiency of the Wind Machine to 20%. This suggested idea and design will enable effective
utilization of wind machine. The buck boost converter bucks/reduces this high voltage to the
required battery charging voltage and if wind machine output voltage is low then converter
will boost the voltage to charge the battery, thereby protecting the battery from over
charging. Thus, the effective utilization of the wind machine has been achieved by the use of
the proposed Buck Boost Controller.
