“…Furthermore, another PV and hydro-wind system has been suggested to supply uninterrupted power to a remote village in Ethiopia by Bekele and Tedesse [24] and the code HOMER was used to optimize that hybrid system. In addition, other studies were presented on PV-wind-battery hybrid and PV-wind-diesel-battery hybrid intended for rural electrification in Malaysia [25][26][27]. Furthermore, the energy conversion equations describing the total power generated by a hybrid system of solar photovoltaic, wind turbine and hydraulic turbine were presented by Sami and Icaza [28], and integrated simultaneously.…”

Abstract:A simulation and analysis of the energy conversion equations describing the behavior of a hybrid system composed of solar photovoltaic PV, and geothermal subsystems for power generation and district heating are presented in this paper. A numerical model based upon the aforementioned energy conversion equations was developed, coded and results were compared to experimental data. The model is intended to be used as an optimization and design tool for such hybrid systems. The model predicted results compared fairly with experimental data under various conditions.

Harnessing energy from alternative energy source has been recorded since early history. Renewable energy is abundantly found anywhere, free of cost and has non-polluting characteristics. However, these energy sources are based on the weather condition and possess inherited intermittent nature, which hinders stable power supply. Combining multiple renewable energy resources can be a possible solution to overcome defects, which not only provides reliable power but also leads to reduction in required storage capacity. Although an oversized hybrid system satisfies the load demand, it can be unnecessarily expensive. An undersized hybrid system is economical, but may not be able to meet the load demand. The optimal sizing of the renewable energy power system depends on the mathematical model of system components. This paper summarizes the mathematical modeling of various renewable energy system particularly PV, wind, hydro and storage devices. Because of the nonlinear power characteristics, wind and PV system require special techniques to extract maximum power. Hybrid system has complex control system due to integration of two (or more) different power sources. The complexity of system increases with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques employed in their subsystems. This paper also summarizes mathematical modeling of various MPPT techniques for hybrid renewable energy systems.

“…Muralikrishna and Lakshminarayana (Muralikrishna & Lakshminarayana, 2008) found the energy cost for PV-wind hybrid system to be less than the stand-alone PV or wind system all the time. There have been number of studies that design hybrid renewable energy systems and estimate the cost of electricity for various regions around the globe (Abdulkarim, 2004;Adaramola, Agelin-Chaab, & Paul, 2014;Chandel, Agrawal, Mathur, & Mathur, 2014;Fadaeenejad, Radzi, AbKadir, & Hizam, 2014;Ghasemi, Asrari, Zarif, & Abdelwahed, 2013;Kusakana & Vermaak, 2013;Ngan & Tan, 2012;Md Mustafizur Rahman, Khan, Ullah, Zhang, & Kumar, 2016;Rehman & Al-Hadhrami, 2010;Rohani & Nour, 2014). The cost of electricity depends on various factors such as resource availability (e.g.…”

Global GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions are increasing substantially and electricity sector is one of the key contributors to the world’s total GHG emissions. GHG emissions cause ozone layer depletion and global warming. Different policy regulation agencies are adopting regulations to reduce GHG emissions in various sectors. People already have started power generation from cleaner sources. Renewable energy sources can provide cleaner electricity. Bangladesh is a densely populated country and most of the country’s electricity is produced from natural gas and coal. The Bangladesh government has set a goal to utilize renewable energy for the production of 10% of its electricity by the year 2020. Bangladesh has a lot of isolated coastal areas which are not connected to the national grid which can be electrified by using abundant wind energy. In this study a techno-economic analysis has been conducted for an off-grid island of Bangladesh. The analysis was conducted by developing a data intensive model that calculates the generation cost of electricity from wind energy. The model also estimates the capital cost of the system. The model shows that electricity can be produced from wind energy at a cost of $0.57/kWh. The system’s capital cost was calculated to be $63,550.16.Article History: Received October 15th 2016; Received in revised form January 26th 2017; Accepted February 4th 2017; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Rahman, M.M., Baky, M.A.H, and Islam, A.K.M.S.
