Solar Power and Wind Power Management System Using Wireless Personal Area Network and IoT

Abstract

This research presents the design and implementation of an intelligent hybrid energy management system (HEMS) for optimizing the integration of solar and wind power sources. The system utilizes a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and Internet of Things (IoT) architecture to monitor energy generation, consumption, and grid interaction in real-time. The HEMS employs advanced algorithms to predict energy production, optimize energy distribution, and manage energy storage. The system demonstrates improved energy efficiency, reduced reliance on the grid, and enhanced grid stability through optimized power management strategies. Results show significant improvements in energy utilization and grid integration compared to traditional methods.

Introduction

The increasing demand for sustainable energy sources necessitates the efficient integration of renewable energy like solar and wind power. However, the intermittent nature of these sources poses challenges for grid stability and reliable power supply. Existing energy management systems often lack the sophistication to optimally handle the fluctuating output of renewable resources. This research addresses this challenge by developing an intelligent HEMS leveraging WPAN and IoT technologies for real-time monitoring, prediction, and control of solar and wind energy generation and consumption. The system aims to improve energy efficiency, enhance grid stability, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. A key gap lies in the lack of sophisticated, adaptable systems capable of handling the complex interplay between diverse renewable sources and energy demands.
