Abstract

Renewable energy sources are the natural resources that are inexhaustible. Today, people use wind energy and hydro power to make electricity. Battery has the limitation of short usage lifetime and cannot provide long term power generation in isolated places. In this project, the proposed solution to solve the problem is by developing a turbine operated by wind and hydro power. The objectives of this project are to design and investigate preliminary operation of hydro wind turbine designed. Literature review is done on the wind and hydro turbine to gain a better understanding of the concept and fundamental of existing wind and hydro turbine. Three concepts of design for the hydro wind turbine model are sketched and the best concept is selected through the Pugh concept selection method. The detail design of the selected concept is generated using CATIA software and the suitable materials are chose based on light weight property. The main manufacturing processes used to fabricate the hydro wind turbine model are MIG welding, bending and riveting. The hydro wind turbine is tested and the data gained is analyzed. The overall findings are concluded and recommendation of improvement for the hydro wind turbine designed is suggested at the end of project.
