Hybrid energy is an electric power system
comprising two or more energy that supply power to a single output. This
project is to design a prototype of electrical generator device combines
photovoltaic and thermoelectric to a single electric generator system. The
result is display by using labVIEW. The focus of this project is more to
thermoelectric system. There are 3
circumstances to place thermoelectric cell whereby for the first situation
place the thermoelectric cell inside the wall room with low temperature
condition. Second situation is place the thermoelectric cell outside the wall
room and the third situation is place the thermoelectric cell for both situations which is inside and
outside the room.
The electrical properties of PV/TE hybrid cells will be represent at labVIEW.
The output will be measure and analyzed. From basic knowledge, the best output
result is by using situation 3 because there is larger difference temperature
between thermoelectric cell. This new
technology would pave the way for new energy harvesting applications.
Solar cell supply sunlight and heat then convert
it into electrical energy. By combining the two of renewable energy can prevent
the problem that occur when the absent of sunlight and heat to generate
electricity. This renewable energy, can replace the resources of existing
electricity and save the cost of electricity payment. So that, by combining
this type of sources, will be increase the output voltage and current produce. This
research study will conclude with recommendation on the output Voltage by
combining two sources
