Design, analysis and optimal sizing of standalone PV/diesel/battery hybrid energy system using HOMER

Abstract

Now that the world’s most important problems are the lack of fossil fuel reserves, we need to find a solution to preserve non-renewable resources and replace them with other renewable resources such as solar power. The next focus is on the rising level of undesired gases, such as carbon dioxide, etc. There is a need to regulate the impact of such greenhouse gases. This paper mainly intentional to situate optimal scheduling and to meet the power demand profile by the utilization of available solar energy resources. Considering the above data we have put forth an attempt to scrutinize the leverage of distributed Generation considering solar energy, alone can vary, when associated together they give a dependable wellspring of vitality as a DG is utilized as reinforcement unit for the crisis. So consolidating a solar powered energy source with a diesel generator provides reliable generation, utilizing independent sunlight based renewable power system for a chose area in Vellore region, Tamil Nadu, India. The principle goal of this paper is to decide the optimal sizing dependent on different designs, moreover reduce the cost parameters such as, total net preset Cost (TNPC), system cost of Energy (COE), unmet electric load, CO2 emissions by utilizing HOMER Software. It is found that the PV/Diesel/converter combination provides optimal results which providing vitality with 0% unmet load at the minimum electricity cost, which is diminished from$ 0.672 to $0.319/Kwh.

A review on unidirectional converters for on-board chargers in electric vehicle

“…Various issues in integrating renewable energy systems with smart grids and control strategies have been discussed (Thirunavukkarasu and Sawle, 2021b). To reduce the reliance on fossil fuels, the authors designed a hybrid renewable-based energy system to satisfy the energy requirements of remote area households (Thirunavukkarasu and Sawle, 2020).…”

The potential of available renewable energy resources for various locations in India has been investigated and a stand-alone renewable energy system has been developed to electrify remote areas (Thirunavukkarasu and Sawle, 2021a).…”

A feasibility study on Balarbhita for advancing rural electrification with a solar—Micro-hydro hybrid system

“…As described by HOMER Pro, the levelized COE is the estimated total cost per kWh of useable electricity produced by the hybrid power system. HOMER Pro divides the annual cost of generating energy by the entire useable electricity generation to get at the COE, which is determined as follows (Homer Pro Home Page, 2022d), (Thirunavukkarasu and Sawle, 2020).…”

Grid-connected hybrid PV-wind system simulation in urban Java

“…Compared to other Indonesian islands, Java Island has the most human activity [1]. Because of the increased activity, the average power usage is 11.26 kWh/day, with a maximum electrical load of 2.09 kW [2,3]. As a result, Indonesia focuses on improving accessibility, particularly to electrical energy sources.…”
