Techno-economic optimum sizing of hybrid renewable energy system
2013
Using off grid hybrid renewable energy systems for rural electrification has become an attractive solution for those areas, where grid electricity is not feasible or cost of the grid extension is relatively large. Hybrid system combines several energy systems together, therefore it can supply high reliable electricity rather than a PV/battery system or a wind/battery system. But the most important thing is that the system should be economically attractive. To achieve both of these features, each of the components in the hybrid system should be optimally sized. This requires a detailed techno-economic analysis of different possible hybrid system configurations. The objective of this study is…
Techno-economic sizing of off-grid hybrid renewable energy system for rural electrification in Sri Lanka
2015
Abstract Off-grid hybrid renewable-energy-based power systems for rural electrification have become an attractive solution for areas where grid electricity is not feasible. Hybrid energy systems use several energy technologies, and the selection of proper technologies with optimum sizing of the selected components has become very important. The objective of this study has been to investigate the optimum configuration of a hybrid system that can supply electricity to a rural community in Sri Lanka. A rural village in Siyambalanduwa (Sri Lanka) comprising approximately 150 households with a resultant daily electricity demand of 270 kWh and a nighttime peak of 25 kW has been studied. This regi…
