Dual-Source Solar & Wind Hybrid Microgrid Controller with Smart MPPT & IoT Telemetry
Intelligent renewable microgrid hub managing dynamic power switching between solar PV, micro wind turbine, battery storage, and AC inverter loads.
Project Overview
A comprehensive benchtop electrical engineering test rig featuring dual synchronous buck MPPT converters, INA219 power sensors, ACS712 current sensors, relay switching matrix, ESP32 IoT controller, and interactive web dashboard for renewable energy dispatch. ### Real-World Problem Intermittent solar and wind renewable sources require intelligent load balancing and MPPT control to ensure stable off-grid power supply. ### Practical Student Solution Dynamically tracks maximum power point across both solar and wind simultaneously, directing excess energy to battery banks or grid dump loads. ### Hardware Modules & Sensors - ESP32 Master Controller - Dual MPPT DC-DC Buck Converters - Mini 10W Solar Panel - Mini 3-Phase AC Wind Turbine Demo - INA219 Power Sensors - 4-Channel Relay Matrix - 16x2 LCD Display ### Commercial & Institutional Value High commercial demand for EEE and Renewable Energy final-year student engineering projects.
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for Dual-Source Solar & Wind Hybrid Microgrid Controller with Smart MPPT & IoT Telemetry.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
