Abstract

A new configuration is presented to investigate the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, an auxiliary thermo-electric generator and a battery bank, to feed critical loads in isolated locations in less developed areas, where no electric supply is available. Where possible standard off-the-shelf car parts such as alternators and AVR are used. This configuration, called Wind Turbine Uninterruptible Power Supply (WT-UPS) is a modular system that offers a number of advantages over the classic hybrid systems. Initial experimental results show the system works as predicted.
