In our wind turbine, we used an alternator for power
generation as well as a propeller to use rotated the alternator
which is driven by a turbine according to aerodynamics in the
wind flow. Our model generated AC power so we need to
convert it into DC. Because we are combining two DC power
sources. Now we have to design an AC to DC converter
circuit for DC power generation.
AC-DC converter circuit components list an X-rated
capacitor, four IN4007 diodes, 470 µF capacitors, 1 MΩ, and
100 KΩ 2W resistors, and a 12 V Zener diode. In this circuit,
we check as the result is satisfied.

Next, We are changing some data that represents a real
simulation in our combined power generating plant,
subsequently we need to be aware of the many sorts of
combined power cycle plants. In this hardware data collection
part, we compare different wind speeds, temperatures, and
solar penal angles to get high efficiency [10].
