Design and Implementation of Low Power Nanogrid with Intelligent Solar PV Utilization

Abstract

Fossil fuels such as diesel, petrol etc are currently used as the main source of energy in supplying our society. However, these sources cause serious damage to our climate and global system by emitting greenhouse gasses. This will cause the major drawbacks to increase the environmental pollution and also the maximum utilization of vehicles increases the cost of the fuel. This indirectly increases the cost of living. Only 10% of vehicle is used as electric vehicles and they are depending on conventional energy sources. In order to cope with global change a fundamental change towards an energy system based on renewable is needed. Our project focuses on harvesting the energy from renewable energy resources such as solar, wind , electromagnetic sources . Centralized electricity systems are being integrated by a multitude of small distributed generation clusters, called Nano grids, capable of ensuring full utilization of renewable energy. Renewable energy plays an vital role in harvesting such a sources there by protecting the environment. With this innovative technology give a great change in reduce the cost of the fuel. The FPGA controls the panel using MPPT algorithm and provides the maximum power. Using multiple panels we can run smaller vehicles.
