This project addresses detailed design considerations to develop a prototype hybrid renewable energy system. The foundation for the system is a Green Energy Hub micro grid with battery storage capability that can accommodate energy inputs from a variety of different generation technologies from established wind and solar, to more experimental wave and current technologies. It also seeks to incorporate magnetic gears into established wind generators as a test scenario for later incorporating them into underwater generation technologies.
