Abstract : In this paper, a prototype for a smart hybrid inverter is designed. A Smart Hybrid Inverter is an advanced power solution that works to best utilise energy from different sources, which include solar panels, batteries, and the utility grid. In this study, we present the design, operation, and performance evaluation of a smart hybrid inverter using current control methods and intelligent monitoring systems. The proposed system integrates renewable energy sources with battery storage to provide an uninterrupted, reliable, and energy-efficient power supply for residential and small industrial applications. The inverter we installed uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), which maximises solar energy collection and improves overall system performance. We use a microcontroller for smart monitoring, automatic source transfer, fault detection, and remote control via the cloud. Also, we’ve included features for overvoltage, overload, and short-circuit protection, which in turn improve safety and reliability. We aim to reduce our dependence on traditional power sources, minimise energy loss, and improve power quality. We saw that the smart hybrid inverter we studied provided stable output voltage, efficient energy management, and better use of renewable energy, which is a step up from conventional inverter systems. Also, our proposed model is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and well-suited for future smart energy applications.
