Abstract
Global environmental issues combined with rapid developments in renewable energy technologies offer new possibilities for harnessing and using renewable energy resources in various ways. Since renewable energy resources are associated with the intermittency and irregularity, the system reliability can be enhanced by integrating different renewable energy resources together with a diesel generator. Renewable energy based system is designed for an un-electrified area located in India. Techno-economic viability analysis is carried out using HOMER Pro* software tool. The proposed study is intended to provide uninterrupted power supply. The available resources in the study area include biomass, solar, hydro, and wind. The peak demand for the area is estimated at 43.33 kW. PV/Hydro/Battery hybrid system is found to be the optimal feasible configuration. Further, a sensitivity study is carried out to assess the uncertainty in relation to the COE and NPC of the proposed hybrid system.
