This paper presents a hybrid renewable energy system that combines a low-speed, axial-flux, coreless permanent magnet alternator, driven by a vertical-axis wind turbine, with a 30 W photovoltaic (PV) panel. The alternator is built largely from 3D-printed parts and is intended to generate three-phase AC at low rotational speed without a mechanical gearbox. The system rectifies its output and combines it with the PV output on a common DC bus. A battery management system (BMS) provides protected charging and storage, and an inverter supplies 230 V AC to the load. The paper describes the architecture, the construction of the alternator, the power electronics, the operating logic and the components used, and reports the progress of the hardware prototype, which has been fabricated and assembled. A comparison with published 3D-printed energy harvesters and a test plan for the remaining performance evaluation are also given. The aim is a low-cost, lightweight and reliable solution for small-scale renewable generation.
KEYWORDS
A hybrid system combining a 3D-printed, low-speed, axial-flux coreless permanent magnet alternator with a 30 W PV panel, BMS and inverter has been designed, and its hardware prototype has been fabricated and assembled. The architecture, operating logic and test plan have been defined. The remaining work is performance testing, covering generated voltage and power versus speed, battery charging and inverter output, followed by the final results and conclusions.
