Abstract
Air conditioners usages in the homes and offices are the top drivers of global electricity demand for the next three decades. This work proposes an innovative grid-independent, hybrid wind-solar air conditioning model to meet future room cooling demand. This model has 0.3 ton capacity, and it is operated with 1.5 kW, 48 V, BLDC motor drive system. In comparison, with the conventional model, the BLDC based model improves the energy efficiency from 13 to 20% and this model costs 952 USD. A virtual 4 kW hybrid model is simulated to analyze the energy generation at the proposed location from different weather conditions to operate this model. This analysis exhibits that a high 57% wind and 69.4% solar energy participation in summer and winter seasons, respectively, in the total energy generated. This hybrid model and simulation analysis also signify that the consumer side source generation is a realistic solution to meet the future air-conditioning demand growth due to global warming.
