Abstract

A multi-source power generation system to generate electricity by utilizing a combination of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and wave energy is disclosed. The power generating system comprises a frame including a float body and a cylindrical body integral to the float body is submerged below the surface of sea water. A solar power generator comprising solar panel is mounted above the float portion, which is configured to receive the solar power energy and produce electrical potential. A wave energy generator is disposed inside the cylindrical body to harness wave energy from wave motion. A wind turbine disposed on the float body, which is configured to harness wind energy from wind. The cylindrical body comprises a cylindrical compartment including a cylindrical magnet which is configured to move in and out of a coil to generate electrical energy.
