Abstract
This Paper presents a study of small scale wind powered generation systems (SW-VAWT) combined with solar cell generation unit as a reliable electric power source from Taiwan in Mingdao University. This system is environmental friendly and designed to proactively utilize the abundant natural resource. The experiments of the system done by the Mingdao University at Taiwan have completed the great results. It further enlightens the resident's concept for the application of new energy and enhances the better understanding of energy efficiency.. In these regions, wind is strong through a year and is constantly available and, if the wind turbine generation system is combined with solar cell unit, it will be an ideal independent electric source. The ultimate design concept was required for development and reliable operation for independent electric source powered. Therefore, the system was simplified. The research application has accomplished great experimental results not only in Japan, but also in many different locations in Taiwan. The experimental results are efficient and matched with the projection, and those results also prove the effectiveness of the lab theory.
