Project Title: A Novel 1kw Hybrid Wind and Solar Power System for Domestic Applications
About ICTACT:
ICT Academy of Tamil Nadu (ICTACT), an Initiative of Government of India, Government of Tamil Nadu and Industry, is a not-for-profit autonomous organization focusing to improve the quality of students passing out of institutions in Tamil Nadu, to make them industry ready and immediately employable in the ICT industry comprising the ICT services and the ICT manufacturing sectors. This will meet the skill requirements of the industry and generate more employment in the state especially in tier 2/3 cities
ICTACT is governed by an autonomous Board of Governors with representations from the state Government of Tamil Nadu, leading companies in the ICT industry with presence in Tamil Nadu, and NASSCOM.
About Student Innovator Award:
ICTACT is conducting its 3th edition of the ICTACT Student Innovator Award that encourages, recognizes and rewards the students of Engineering, Arts & Science, and Management streams, for their ideas and Innovation in science, Technology and management. This initiative is a platform for all the students across the country, to showcase their innovation and inventions. This scheme endeavours to identify two innovators in each category, identified by the expert panel shall be awarded in ICTACT Bridge – The largest Industry-Institute Interaction event of India.
About Project:
Generation of electricity causes substantial pollution. It is responsible for about one third of all carbon-dioxide emissions. Wind and Solar energy, used to produce electricity, can contribute to a reduction in emissions. Our wind turbine is capable of producing 700W of generator power at a wind speed of 9 m/s and the PV solar panel which delivers a power output up to 300W. The wind turbine design features a direct drive concept that eliminates the need for a transmission in the drive train. The direct drive was made possible by the use of an axial flux generator with permanent magnet and multiphase technology. The solar panel also gives the output so that the hybrid combination works for giving the power continuously.
