ABSTRACT

Renewable energy technologies are the main focus in today’s world for scientists and engineers due to global climate issues. Energy extracted from wind and solar are the two most established ones as more than 5% of electricity is produced from wind globally. This paper gives insight knowledge to the energy planners for developing a cost-effective way to mitigate the electricity problems in low-income areas by incorporating the energy mix of wind and solar. A Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator is designed for the location and simulated in Matlab. With a fixed rated speed of 100 rpm, based on the load calculation, the number of poles and slots calculated are 60 and 180 respectively. The total load demand is shared 50% between wind and solar as per the load demand of the locality. The total capacity of the generator designed is 60kW. Sensitivity analysis of the designed machine is done by varying the hyper-parameters of the wind turbine generators.
