THE PERFORMANCE OF A 2KVA HYBRID INVERTER
Abstract
This project investigates the performance of a 2kVA hybrid inverter under different
load conditions, emphasizing its ability to manage power flow from both solar panels
and batteries. Hybrid inverters play a key role in contemporary energy systems, merging
the functionalities of grid-tied and off-grid inverters to provide enhanced flexibility and
reliability in power supply. The study's objective is to evaluate the inverter’s efficiency,
its behavior under various load types; resistive, inductive, and capacitive and its
adaptability to changing power demands. Systematic testing revealed that the inverter
maintained stable performance, with slight variations depending on load type and
intensity. The results indicate the hybrid inverter’s potential to improve energy
management in residential and small commercial applications, contributing to reduced
reliance on the grid and greater energy resilience. The project concludes with
recommendations for optimal battery capacity, consistent system monitoring, and
