This paper presents the design and development of a hybrid energy generation system that integrates wind, hydro, and solar power into a single compact unit to ensure continuous and reliable electricity generation under varying environmental conditions. The system employs a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) fabricated from PVC blades and MDF discs, a detachable Pelton hydro turbine driven by a 12V DC pump, and a 12V solar panel, all coupled to a common dynamo shaft and power management unit. A shaft-engagement mechanism allows selective operation of the wind or hydro turbine depending on resource availability, while the solar panel contributes continuously. The generated power is regulated through an AC-DC converter, stored in a 12V 1.3Ah battery, and made available through a USB charging port with LED status indication. Design calculations for power output, torque, RPM, and battery backup were performed, and a complete bill of material with cost estimation was prepared. The prototype demonstrates that combining multiple renewable sources on a shared drivetrain improves reliability and efficiency over standalone systems, making it a viable, low-cost solution for rural electrification, disaster relief, and off-grid power applications.
