Cost-Effective DIY Hardware Solutions for Experimental Validation of Renewable Energy and Electrical Energy Systems

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Experimental validation is essential in renewable energy emulators and energy storage systems to ensure reliability and practical implementation. However, high costs of AC/DC converters, measurement circuits, and microcontroller-based control platforms limit accessibility, especially in developing regions. This paper proposes cost-effective hardware and software solutions for validating renewable energy systems and storage management, using affordable power converters, data acquisition tools, and open-source control platforms. These strategies provide a scalable alternative to expensive setups, enabling researchers to perform accurate validations with minimal investment, thereby enhancing research credibility and advancing sustainable energy technologies.
