This paper is presented to analyze the performance of Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind Inverter at Kangar, Perlis. This analysis is based on the performance of PV, wind turbine, inverter & battery. The measurement of photovoltaic is for power and solar irradiance and the measurement of wind is for measure the voltage generate and the current when charging the battery through FSNW.8KD inverter by using Fluke 345 and electrocorder. The data of solar irradiance & wind speed is from UniMAP weather station and from weatherlink software. Keywords: solar irradiance, wind turbine, inverter, hybrid. 1. Introduction Nowadays, electric is a main use to people. In Malaysia, the production of electricity in 21 is using 56% Natural Gas, 36% coal, 6% hydro,.2% oil and only 1.8% Renewable Energy [1]. The using of renewable energy is still low. The wind and solar energy are omnipresent, freely available, and environmentally friendly that can consider used as sources for the energy supply in Malaysia. A renewable hybrid energy system consists of two or more energy sources, a power conditioning equipment, a controller and an optional energy storage system. These hybrid energy systems are becoming popular in remote area power generation applications due to advancements in renewable energy technologies and substantial rise in prices of petroleum products [2]. In this research will combine photovoltaic and wind to make hybrid system. The wind energy systems may not be technically viable at all sites because of low wind speeds and being more unpredictable than solar energy. The combined utilization of these renewable energy sources are therefore becoming increasingly attractive and are being widely used as alternative of oil-produced energy. Based on the scenario, the cluster EEIES of University Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) has doing the research on the analysis performance of the photovoltaic and wind with the FSNW.8KD inverter at Kangar. 2. Methodology 2.1. Data of Inverter An FSNW.8KD hybrid of inverter and controller is the main equipment used in this experiment.

These equipments block diagram is shown in Figure 1. Electrocorder (Electrosoft*) PM3 Power Analyzer (VPAS Lite) PV MODULE WIND FSNW.8KD Battery Weather Station (Weather Link) Fluke 345 clamp meter (data logger) Fig. 1: Experiment setup to analyze the Performance The weather station is used to measure the solar irradiance and wind speed of Kangar, Malaysia. The weather station is set using weather link software, that can recorded every the solar irradiance and wind speed every minutes and the recorded solar irradiance and wind speed can be downloaded by using weather link software. Four units of Uni-Solar PV module are used to generate DC electrical energy. Each PV module has rated maximum power of 62W, maximum current of 4.13A and maximum voltage of 15v. Each two units of PV module are connected in series and connected in parallel each other to be a PV panel. The PV panel has rated maximum power of 248W, maximum current of 8.26A and maximum voltage of 3V. The PV panel is used to charge the 24V battery and run the inverter. The AC voltage of the inverter of the inverter is used to serve the AC loads. The wind are using Rotor diameter: 2.2m, Rated wind speed: 1m/s, Rated power: 45W, Rated voltage: DC24V, Generator: Three phase permanent magnet, Material of blade: Reinforced nylon/aluminium alloy, Start up wind speed: 2.5m/s, Cut-in wind speed: 3m/s, Quantity of blades: 3PCS, Rated rotate speed (rpm): 45, Tower altitude: 8m, Top weight: 34kg, Reductor of transmission: Centrifugal brake, Protection method: Automatic, Guyed steel pole/kg (8m height). The electrocorder is used to measure the voltage of PV panel, the voltage of wind, the voltage and current of battery. The electrocorder is using electrosoft software, therefore it can record the voltage and current every minute and recorded value can be downloaded using the software. The Fluke 345 is functions as a clamp meter, data logger and digital power meter. The hall effect clamp meter design makes measurement of dc current possible without the need to break the circuit. 189
The PM3 power analyzer is used to measure the AC load average power. It is set using VPAS lite software, therefore the measurement can be recorded every minute and downloaded by the software. 3.

4. Conclusion The power generate from the PV are directly proportional to the solar irradiance. If the solar irradiance is high, the power generates are higher. The wind voltage generates are also directly portpotional to the speed of wind. The highest power generate is 83Watt from PV and the highest voltage generate from the wind is 13 Amps. The performance of the phovoltaic are good and the performance of wind are average at Kangar, Perlis. 5.
