Alternative Approach to Charging Stations: Hybrid Renewable Energy System Design

Abstract

Solar and wind energy are among the renewable energy sources and are green energy types that do not create polluting waste. Integrating renewable energy into power systems is one of the most popular approaches today. By combining the two types of energy, the effects of energy sources can be understood, a safe and economical system can be created. Hybrid renewable energy systems can provide energy sustainability. The aim of this study is to present an innovative system that feeds Arduino and creates a mini mobile phone charging station by using the voltage values obtained from solar panels and wind turbines together. The system optimizes the supply and demand balance by synchronizing both energy sources. Thanks to the system, the energy produced by the solar panel and wind turbine is collected and combined with an energy management system. Arduino is integrated with the energy management system to monitor energy, control the charging process and provide a user interface. The most important features of the study are to contribute to the use of renewable energy sources with the developed method and to increase environmental awareness, as well as to provide awareness and skills in electronics and energy systems. The study provides the user with a practical and environmentally friendly charging solution, while serving as an example to demonstrate the potential of renewable energy sources.

Şarj İstasyonlarına Alternatif Yaklaşım: Hibrit Yenilenebilir Enerji Sistemi Tasarımı

Abstract

Güneş ve rüzgâr enerjisi yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları arasında yer almakta olup, kirletici atık oluşturmayan yeşil enerji türüdür. Yenilenebilir enerjiyi güç sistemlerine entegre etmek günümüzde en popüler yaklaşımlardan biridir. İki enerji türünü birleştirerek enerji kaynaklarının etkisi anlaşılabilir, güvenli ve ekonomik bir sistem oluşturulabilir. Hibrit yenilenebilir enerji sistemleri enerji sürdürülebilirliğini sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, güneş panellerinden ve rüzgâr türbinlerinden elde edilen voltaj değerlerini birlikte kullanarak Arduino'yu besleyen ve mini bir cep telefonu şarj istasyonu oluşturan yenilikçi bir sistem sunmaktır. Sistem, her iki enerji kaynağını senkronize ederek arz ve talep dengesini optimize eder. Sistem sayesinde güneş paneli ve rüzgâr türbini tarafından üretilen enerji toplanır ve bir enerji yönetim sistemi ile birleştirilir. Arduino, enerjiyi izlemek, şarj sürecini kontrol etmek ve bir kullanıcı arayüzü sağlamak için enerji yönetim sistemi ile entegre edilmiştir. Çalışmanın en önemli özellikleri, geliştirilen yöntemle yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımına katkıda bulunmak ve çevre bilincini artırmak, ayrıca elektronik ve enerji sistemleri konusunda farkındalık ve beceri kazandırmaktır. Çalışma kullanıcıya pratik ve çevre dostu bir şarj çözümü sunarken, yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının potansiyelini göstermek için bir örnek teşkil etmektedir.
