Abstract

This project aims are to carry out the performance of a 2kVA hybrid inverter under various load conditions, focusing on its effectiveness in managing power flow from both solar panels and batteries. Hybrid inverters are crucial in modern energy systems, as they combine the functionalities of both grid-tied and off-grid inverters, allowing for greater flexibility and reliability in power supply. This project aims to assess the inverter’s efficiency, response to different types of loads resistive, inductive, and capacitive and its adaptability to fluctuating power demands. Through systematic testing, it was observed that the inverter displayed stable performance, with minor variances based on load type and intensity. Demonstrating the hybrid inverter’s potential to enhance energy management in residential and small commercial settings, contributing to reduced grid dependency and improved energy resilience. The project concludes with recommendations for optimized battery capacity, regular system monitoring, and further exploration into hybrid inverter applications.
