Abstract—

Rising global electricity consumption, combined with urgent concerns about fossil fuel dependency and climate impact, has made the transition to sustainable power solutions both necessary and timely. This paper describes the development and laboratory-scale implementation of a compact hybrid microgrid that integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, a small-scale wind turbine, and a battery storage bank into a unified, self-sustaining power system. The solar array serves as the primary daytime generation source; the wind turbine contributes during low-light or nighttime conditions; and the battery bank stores surplus energy to cover any supply shortfalls. A DC-to-AC inverter conditions the output to deliver stable 210 V, 50 Hz power to connected loads. The integration of these three complementary technologies yields a system considerably more dependable than any individual renewable source, reduces dependence on the centralized utility grid, and contributes to measurable environmental benefits.
