Abstract

the recent years most of the electrical engineers focused on renewable energy resources to balance power demand. In earlier solar system light energy only utilized remaining heat from sun is wasted. The objective of this work is to utilize both light and heat energy from the solar radiation. This system converts Light and Heat energy is directly converted into electrical energy by using Solar array and Thermocouple which works on the principle of Photovoltaic and Seeback effect. The efficiency of the hybrid system is much better than the single system. The hybrid system was designed using MATLAB /Simulink software. This work describes the characteristics of the PV and TE array with variation in temperature and irradiation levels. The output power of this system is stored in Battery during day time.
