Efficiency Analysis of Grid Connected Hybrid Wind-Biodiesel Electric Power Generation System

Abstract

In this paper renewable energy sources, which are expected to be a promising alternative energy source, which are continually replenished such as sunlight, wind, biodiesel. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources. To have sustainable growth and social progress, it is necessary to meet the energy need by utilizing the renewable energy resources like biofuels, solar, wind, etc. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, which is an alternative to petroleum-based diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is used for commercial trucks, home and industrial generators, and heating oil, So demand for diesel passenger vehicles grows. The need to integrate the renewable energy like biofuels and wind into power system is to make it possible to minimize the environmental impact on conventional plant. Biodiesel production is the process of producing the biofuel through the chemical reaction called trans-esterification. This involves vegetable or animal fats and neem oil, sunflower oil, pongamia oil, soybean oil, palm oil, mustard oil being reacted with short-chain alcohols (typically methanol or ethanol).The wind power system is well established technologies for renewable energy sources. Each technology has its own individual instrumentation requirements to measure and control system variables. MATLAB software is used to simulate the model. Several endurance will be carried out to investigate wind and diesel- biodiesel blend grid connected generating system. In future work, the MAT Lab will be used to analyze the grid connected hybrid system consisting of wind, biodiesel and energies.
