Autonomous photovoltaic solar and wind energy system PVWG/EV – is a unique training system that allows you to analyze and understand how solar and wind energy is converted to electricity in both autonomous (OFF-GRID) and network (ON-GRID) modes. This simulator is suitable for practical learning, energy flow analysis and energy efficiency research.

Main features:

  • Operating modes:
    • Autonomous (OFF-GRID):
      • Excess energy charges the buffer battery.
      • Consumer energy is supplied from the sun, wind or battery (in case of energy shortage).
    • Network (ON-GRID):
      • Surplus energy is fed into the electricity grid.
      • The missing energy is supplied from the grid.
  • Solar photovoltaic module:
    • 60 W silicon solar panel with adjustable aluminum frame.
    • Solar radiation sensor (0–2000 W/m²).
    • Temperature sensor (-50–+70 °C).
  • Wind turbine:
    • Horizontal axis generator with 6 blades and a 510 mm diameter rotor.
    • Rated power: 49 W at 15 m/s wind speed.
    • Low-friction, brushless three-phase generator (12 V DC).
  • Control systems:
    • Standalone control panel:
      • PWM charge controller with LED indicators.
      • 12 V DC load (light bulb).
      • DC parameter display (microprocessor, touch screen).
    • Network mode control panel:
      • Mains inverter (450 W, 230 V, 50 Hz, pure sine wave output).
      • 230 V AC load (light bulb).
  • Backup battery:
    • Voltage: 12V DC.
    • Capacity: 12 Ah.
  • Data collection and analysis:
    • USB interface and LabView-based software for parameter monitoring.
    • Monitored parameters: solar radiation, panel temperature, wind speed, DC/AC parameters, energy flows.
    • The software allows you to analyze energy conversion efficiency, monitor energy flow trends, and store data for the future.
