AbstractThe present study is about the design and implementation of
renewable energy by means of solar, small hydro and stair climbing power systems based on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) technology.
The PLC technology correlates the hybrid system process parameters for the On-Grid and Off-Grid conditions.
The hardware and the software implemented in this proposed system have been put forward to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the approach.
This renewable Hybrid Power Generation System (HPGS) proves to be a versatile and effective gadget for remote area and also for domestic applications.

IntroductionNearly 1.2 billion people have no access to electricity in the
world, as per the report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). In India more than 80,000Villages are suffering without
electricity, particularly in the state of Tamil Nadu 400 villages are not getting electricity due to insufficient power production and due to economy [1].
In today’s world many research work is been carried out on renewable energy.
Electrical Energy is most wanted for day to day life and it is the ultimate factor for both industries and domestic usage

Current Status
The installed power capacity in Tamilnadu is 11,884.44 MW.TN has installed renewable energy sources like wind, solar,
biomass up to 8219.67MW About 20 million consumers depends on electricity from TN
Government and gradually per unit rate are also increased.

Hybrid power generation system (HPGS) sources are:Solar Small HydroStair Climbing
Solar panel:
Pmp-80W
Vmp-16.8V
Isc-5.28A
Voc-21V Fig 1. solar panel
Small Hydro:The Pelton wheel rotates automatically, when the water flows
from the under tank to the over tank. According to the water flow rate in the hydro power system,
the voltage is calibrated to 230V. This total setup is constructed and shown in below.

Stair Climbing:
In this system the stress induced in each step. For each rotation, the mechanical stress produced is converted into electrical energy based on the rotation of the motor setup.
Here the IR sensor is placed behind the pinion wheel, this sensor identifies the number of rotations for each step in this mechanism. The experimental output from this total setup is calibrated to 230Volt per step for every six rotation.

Grid Type
OFF-GRIDIn the off-grid technology power from hybrid sources
will charge the battery backup and utilize this power through power MOSFET inverter.
ON-GRID In the on-grid technology, direct power source can be
utilized through AC-AC converter for minimum application.

Conclusion The main objective of this paper is to supply consistent power
to the domestic application at an optimal cost. The experimental results shows more accuracy and high efficiency when compared to the energy supplied from the individual power unit.
The total power generated from this proposed hybrid power module was obtained around 600W.
It is anticipated that in future when a highly efficient PM synchronous motor along with a highly efficient solar panel is implemented the power production could be increased enormously which can be used for domestic and Commercial purposes thereby not depending on the power supply from the government.
