dc.description.abstractRenewable energy sources provide a reliable source of electrical power at a low cost. In Uganda, the use of solar energy especially in remote areas is becoming too common since it is cheap and easy to install and use. Solar energy has some draw backs which are addressed in the design of the project by providing the backup which is the wind energy source. Odupi sub-county in Arua district receives a bi-rainfall pattern with average total rainfall of 1250-1267mm. the area experiences two seasonal rainfall periods less rain between April and October. The dry season in between December and March and the rain is associated with the northern and the southern movements of the inter-tropical front so during this period, solar energy is little making it unreliable so due to the prevailing wind from east to west with frequent wind storms during the dry season makes the operation of wind energy generation efficient during the dry season hence this power is stored and used when the solar has run out of power The load control hybrid power system using android application is a cost effective. Reliable, effective, pollution free and environment friendly which uses two energy sources that is solar and wind energy sources to generate electricity. One of the sources act as the backup supply which makes the system more reliable. The system consists of solar panel and wind turbine to generate power, the battery charger to control the charges that flow to the DC backup battery, the inverter which changes DC power to AC power, the relays switches that switch ON/OFF the loads when they receive a controlling signal from the phone, Bluetooth module that receive signals from the phone, microcontroller that receive signal from the Bluetooth module and commands the relays and the loads that are controlled automatically using the developed android application. The design process yielded the anticipated positive results as the design worked perfectly as per the proposed concept.en_US
