  • Abstract:
  • The growing demand for sustainable energy solutions has accelerated the development of hybrid renewable energy systems that can operate efficiently under varying environmental conditions. Conventional standalone systems often rely on a single energy source and lack intelligent mechanisms for monitoring and control, which limits their reliability and performance. This work presents the design and implementation of a hybrid microgrid system that integrates solar and wind energy sources with an embedded monitoring and management framework. The system employs an MPPT-based charge controller to enhance energy extraction and utilizes a battery storage unit supported by a supercapacitor to address fluctuations in load demand. An Arduino Uno serves as the central controller, continuously acquiring voltage and current data through appropriate sensing modules. Based on real-time analysis of battery conditions, the system performs automated load control using a relay mechanism to prevent deep discharge and ensure safe operation. In addition, an ESP8266 WiFi module enables remote monitoring by transmitting system parameters to a cloud interface. Experimental observations demonstrate stable performance, effective energy utilization, and improved system reliability. The proposed approach offers a compact and cost-effective solution suitable for small-scale microgrid and off-grid applications.
